Criticize my HSV tamer! The thermo sensors are set to >200C and the pipe sensors are set to >50C. Transformers, battery, and aquatuners are steel. Battery range is 60-90.

Working perfectly!
The only thing I'd change right now is to move all of the turbines one tile up. There's a minor issue with the one-tile-high corridors on either side of the vent chamber having vacuum in the most distant tile because of the low airflow.
I'd also add an atmo sensor in the vent chamber to prevent the turbines from trying to run on low steam.

In hsv tamer do you not need to extract the water at some point?
I haven't encounter one, but if my understanding is correct the steam will keep filling and turned into water, cmiiw
astral acorn
The water from the vent is exported, yes
The water in the lower steam chamber is reintroduced because that chamber is used for aquatuner cooling for the turbines.

Oh, that makes sense. Nice 👍

I could problably commit violence with this design

I think ideally you should cool the steam to 357C before the turbines absorb it, to optimize heat-to-energy ratio
can be done via a liquid loop between the geyser room and the steam room below
I have never thought of turbine placements like this lol

I'm aware, I just thought I'd tackle it the easy way first before trying to optimize the steam temperature
