Misleading quest description for Cryogenic Air Distillation

The quest "Cryogenic Air Distallation" states the following:
"In addition to the components listed here, you'll need an Energy Input Hatch, a Fluid Input Hatch, and five Fluid Output Hatches, all of whatever size you wish."
However, this simply isn't true. The recipe for distilling liquid air requires 53,000 mB in the input to even start, meaning the player will need at the very least, a reinforced (tier 4) fluid input hatch. The recipe also won't start until there's enough room for all of the outputs, meaning that out of the outputs, one has to be at least small (tier 2), and one will have to be at least normal (tier 3)
The recipe for distilling liquid air requires 2000 FE/t, meaning that without factoring in the buffer (tier 3, providing 4096 input max), you'd need at least an HV energy input to constantly keep the recipe running.
This can all add up to several "gotcha" moments for any players who trust the quest book and don't double-check in JEI first (depending on your GUI settings, the power requirements for the recipe may be cut off, so trusting the quest book might appear to be the sensible option), making them waste time replacing parts of the structure and losing whatever they had put into it.
Some slight additions I noticed after posting: the structure requires 52 frost proof casings, but the quest only calls for 50. The layer-by-layer view (which the player will have to look at to figure out layer of the structure since the blocks aren't visible otherwise) is also broken, and will only display up to layer 10/12. I don't know if this is a limitation of Modular Machinery, though - layers 11-12 display just fine in the 3D view, at least.
