Hello!
This is my 6 boiler self sufficient steam engine that produces 867,584su at 256rpm.
Its size is: 33x16x21(LxWxH).
It is tested and working in 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 with Create 5 and 6.
To prime it, feed the blaze burners manually or connect a power source to one of the 3 outputs which can be disconnected later, once the machine has enough lava stored. Watch out, it has to be clockwise.(if you look from below, if this is turning the wrong way, all belts run in the wrong direction and you will have to remove all steam engines, stop the machine and place all steam engines again)
Dont forget to add empty buckets(at least 3 stacks) to the item vault.
I have attached a video of the priming process.
*Sometimes after the initial placing of the contraption, the pipes coming from the lava tank are not connected and have to be replaced manually.
