There is a config setting that allows you to change the power consumption/output of the boiler in MW. You could do 2 boilers to 1 steam engine, but that would be wasteful, so people pad it out to the correct ratio of 14 boilers to 10 steam engines for maximum efficiency.

The 1/14/10 ratio applies at full power draw, once your power consumption goes over ~48% you will start to notice your energy satisfaction and temperature of water dropping, it can consistently manage to produce only about 2.3 MW with 6 boilers vs the max for 10 steam engines which is 5.1 MW, with 13/14 boilers. Factorio > General Discussions > Topic Details. The cracking process changes the ratio for heavy oil to 13:1, which is much better. The proper setup is => => The ideal ratio is 14 boilers and 10 engines for each water pump. EDIT: The new ratio is 1 pump, 20 boilers, 40 steam engines. The stack compression ratio is how many stacks of input it takes to create one stack of output. You have to turn all of your water to hot water first, then feed it to the steam engines.

Heavy oil has a much worse ratio (20:1) and should be cracked into light oil first instead. Non-trivial ratio forces player to decide what kind of compromise he does. Now you just put 1 pump, a row of boilers, and engines directly connected to it. If you input 2000 it'll result in 2GW on the tooltip box.

Hi I'm trying lazy accomplishment, and I've got a basic electricity stuff, plus an assembler and my laboratory. Is it better to build one more boiler or steam generator. The compression ratio describes how efficiently a crafted item can be transported, compared to its inputs.
