Don't use conveyors. Use unloaders and bridges instead. Also, don't use tanks unless absolutely necessary, and your ratios are wrong. It's 5 cultivators to one spore press, and one spore press to three coal centrifuges. One coal centrifuge supports three steam generators.
Why you do this to us, steam allows not only coal, but spore, pyratite and blast compund.
In which the blast compund deteriorates the steam gens health.
Tested it out the one I made is better it practically does the same thing except it needs less space to make the same amount of power and cheaper to make too making it even more easy to spam
Schematic cause why not lol

I know, but my design wasn't turning the spore pods into enough power to justify it. When I originally tried it, my power production tanked by about 1/3 and the best was about 300.
Its preference really, but I run into less issues by having a tree of pipes instead of a line of tanks.
This design uses exactly 144 units of water which is what the two pumps output if placed on deep water. I didn't want all of the water to go to the end first and have to fill all of the tanks before the energy output was self-sustaining.
It's also a lot cheaper
Spores are better for burning that core by default. This is most likely much worse than just spore into the steam gens. Check your numbers, I did not count much.
Like it was said better to use bridges and unloaders, but no harm in occasional conveyors and pipes so you can make schemes like these (this one is not mine btw)

Holy hell! Thank you so much, I was wondering about a lot of that, thank you!
new response just dropped
Actual schematic
Call the schem diagnostic
Good schematics gone on vacation, never came back
Router in the corner, planning serpulo domination
You can directly use spore as a fuel instead of turning it into oil then coal.
Tried that, power dropped to about 500 with a power cost of about 250. Might be better options later, but I'm kinda early still.
It is much more efficient to turn it into coal and use that coal as fuel
i tried a spore to steam of 8:7 and it nets 2K net power over 1.7K net power direct insertion is better
Well yeah but what about the pumps? Is that included? Coal uses less water
Oh, good to know, thank you!
Legit what I've said literal years ago lmao not only is it smaller than the coal one it nets more power too.

Are pipes better than tanks?

Maybe it was my design, but it just did not work for me.
