![]() A steam engine with 9.6 is working more than fine. A steam engine only needs a volume of about 0.1 to operate and can even be operating fine at 0.0 (due to quirks in the fluid simulation and display). ![]() That number is the volume of the water in pipes. But as soon as I connect any of them to the newly-constructed boiler/engine cluster, the supply plummets. This shows the pipe sections have a water supply of 10. Testing I have carried out amounts to placing multiple pumps next to each other, connecting a single pipe section to each (but keeping them all separate). I've looked on the wiki and searched these forums and cannot find any mention of a maximum pump count per body of water. I could just supplement my electricity generation with solar power, or use multiple Offshore Pumps for each group of 14 Boilers/10 Steam Engines, but it's frustrating not knowing why this is happening. Would this suddenly affect the Offshore Pumps water supply? I am using the same large water source for all pumps. But as soon as I connect the Offshore Pump to the system, the water supply drops to below 2. I have constructed all the relevant components in the same layout as the others. I am in the process of expanding my steam generation by adding a forth system. In these three pipelines, hovering over the Offshore Pumps shows a water supply of 10 and the water supply for the Boilers and Steam Engines is anywhere from 10 nearest the Offshore Pump to as low as 9.6 for some of the Steam Engines. I currently have three Offshore Pumps - each one is feeding a separate pipeline of the standard 14 Boilers and 10 Steam Engines. I'm having some trouble with the water supply for my steam engines and would greatly appreciate some assistance!
