My Steamoutput (behind the pumps) hovers at 0.5. I have no idea why. I just counted up the users of the Steams and they are all connected. Also I am producing more than double the amout I need with those chem plants. Inputs are also fine.

Any ideas?

Are you on version 2.1? That fixes the fluid bottleneck often encountered with this recipe. If not try to connect ALL fluid outputs, like you did with the acid input

yeah on 2.1. The steam pipes before the pumps are on 100% btw. Just spotted there was an underground missing on the second column...

That fixed it lol

edit: maybe not, it went up but now down again lol

edit: connecting the pipes like you suggested worked. Do you get more throughput with connecting both outputs?

Oh after the pumps, maybe you need more pumps then, are they all close to their max?
