How to improve throughput?

[fallen magnet]

I have a problem that my chemical plant is too slow in outputting the steam it produces. But also using pump wont work because their throughput is only 1200/sec.

each input/output on a machine is limited to 6k/s
connect to both

okay thx that was one thing that came to my mind shortly after posting.

I changed it but even that is too slow. The machine is stopping because the output is full.

Is there a thooughput limitation on pipes now after the 2.0 update?

Because I thought when pipes are fully filled it will be unlimited.

[lunar holly]

Pipes are unlimited

each pipe system is essentially a "single" pipe section of the old system

THe limitations are with pumps and consumers/producers

then I would not have any limitation then because my chemical plants that produce water only need 3.5k/sec. and the input is at 6k/sec.

I have to look at it for a longer time.

I hope that shows my problem better after I changed it.

Would a buffer tank or something make it better?

Try connecting both inputs on the water machines

while you're right, it shouldn't matter, it might

But when I have enopugh output then why is the pipe almost only have full?

idk man, fluids in this game have always been screwy

At least it helped a little but its far from perfect as it should.

It works now to 99%. So thx for the help. Also you @lunar holly thx for the help.
