I'm playing with version 1.0.2 on Factorio 1.1.19

I'm confused about the supposed increase in efficiency by superheating the steam from a boiler to use in a steam turbine. I have 1 boiler feeding 1 superheater outputting steam to 1 turbine. Under my testing the superheater is consuming 3.6MW worth of fuel and the boiler is consuming 1.8MW worth of fuel with the turbine outputting 5.8MW of power. I can visually detect the superheater is using twice the amount of fuel that it is supposed to.

When you mouse over the superheater, does it show Efficiency: 200% in the fuel section of the info panel?
If not, does it show another mod has changed it?

I had the mod Space Exploration installed along with it's dependencies. In the fuel panel it showed the superheater having a fuel consumption of 3.6MW and no mention of fuel efficiency 200%. With the Superheater mod installed on its own it works as intended.
