I have built my turbine setup to spec as shown in the mod description and followed the intake tooltip's advice as closely as I could reckon based on what I was given, but the power per tick gained is minimal. I'm not sure how to get the most of out the turbine.

Send a print of how you set it up.

User error. I re-checked the dimensions of the reservoir which were way too large, filled from the bottom, and the turbine kicked off to full chat. Resolved.
