Summary0001132: Steam Condenser outputs a single millibucket per operation
DescriptionThe Steam Condenser takes a few seconds to complete its progress bar. Even with several Heat Vents added, the progress time is non-trivial. The output per operation of the condenser is tiny, a single mB. Was this intentional, or was it intended to output a whole bucket?
Additional InformationI had originally assumed that condensing steam would output a bit of heat. Currently, all the condenser seems to do is consume large amounts of EU to produce distilled water, which is not attractive.

The conversion from steam to water is 1000mb to 1mb. so the 1mb of distilled water is intentional, i think.

Since in the current design, one uses Heat Vents to cool the steam down, it is logical that EU is consumed. Another way, of course would be to convert the Condenser to a low tier heat source which can be connected to a Stirling Generator for example.
To produce 1000mb steam, one needs to put 3000 heat into the Steam Generator, so getting some Heat out would be great i guess. Something like 1000 to 500 heat perhaps.

Distilled Water is actually very attractive, since it doesn't calcify the steam generator, unlike normal water.

I just did some calculations and it turns out, to generate 10 cells distilled water, one needs 31125000 heat which is approximately the amount of heat the standard 100EU/t reactor produces in half a cycle or to convert it back to EU:

Assuming you put 10 buckets of water into the boiler(maximum efficiency) you would need 3112500 EU per 1000mb distilled water.
This is equivalent to 19mb of liquid UU-Matter(when using Scrap). I dont think distilled water should be that expensive...

some balance change in Build 0000531

passive colling with out EU vom 1mB Steam - > 10mB Steam
ative Colling EU use per Vent from 8 EU - > 2 EU..
andcooling per Vent from 5mB Steam - > 10mB Steam
