Peat burner produces absurd amounts of heat

Is that with the peat burner being hot? Because that would be consistent. I did run a pair of them for > 100 cycles in a cold biome and never noticed a problem.

It's the minimum temp for the p-water, it'll always output 110c or hotter.

 

If you're doing it in a cold biome, chances are you have plenty of thermal mass still soaking up heat. But if you put it in, say a critter ranch that's all constructed tiles, it'll heat the place up like nobodies business.

New update that reduces p-water from peat generators still produce massive amount of heat.

With the same scenario but 200g/s of water, it'll add around 58kdtu/s from the water alone, still more than 10 times the generator itself, and 5 times what you get from the coal generator.

 

To even be in the same ballpark as the coal generator you'd need to reduce either the water to about 20-25g/s or the minimum temperature down to about 50c. The latter of which is still very variable as we'll usually want temperatures lower than the scenario's 40c.
