Pipe Connectors are limiting flow

Logistics
Eric [ideas] 4 · 1 year ago

I have Pipe IV's running from my nuclear plants. They are capable of transporting 1041 units of steam. I noticed that my power generators are underperforming ALOT. I noticed that pipe connectors are limitied to a throughput of 13 units of steam or any product. This needs to be fixed in order for pipes higher than I or II to flow correctly.

It is possible I am mistaken
The math is simple, I have 12 Turbine II's
And two Nuke 2 plants pushing more steam than they require all with pipe IV's triple verified
The power is always dropping from lack of steam. I am not venting steam anywhere. Something seems wrong.

Ok I did a lot more testing and found that Autobalancing on the turbines was causing huge power fluctuations. When I disabled that feature my power is @ a steady state. And that seems fine for nuclear reactors since the fuel burn rate is a fixed rate regardless, im still burning betwee 0.5 and 2 fuel rods depending on my power slider settings.
It seems that all is well now. Maybe the autobalancing could use a little more tuning in the games code.
WONDERFUL Game BTW. I have no issues with paying for a DLC next time you want to add this much content in one patch.
