g Electric Boiler Balance

The Electric Boiler included here is entirely useless.

The Boiler uses 12 water per second, and produces 12 steam per second, not unlike its burner counterpart (which is 20/20). But, the boiler consumes 900kW of power, which means that it consumes exactly as much power as it's capable of producing.

If 1 boiler makes 12 steam, then 5 make 60. Which means, they can support 6 steam engines which consume 10 steam each. That ratio is on point.
However, those 6 engines produce 750kW each, for a total of 4.5mW. The 5 boilers consume 900kW each, for a total of 4.5mW. Any power plant that utilizes electric boilers is either net-zero in terms of production, at bast, or actually drains power from a network, if improper ratios are used.

This screams to be adjusted. Please rebalance.

I think the point of the electric boiler is convenience (don't have to transport fuel to a boiler should you need steam for any recipe) and solar power storage (steam tanks)
