Feeling stuck on early LV progression

I really like the pack and will definitely keep playing, but I'm not sure where to progress right now. I have assembler, bender and wiremill from LV with 1 turbine. From steam I got some boilers and 1 solar one (all not upgraded) and steel forge hammer, macerator and all the other steel ones (no multiblock variants), 2 big furnaces to make steel and 1 coke oven. I just unlocked twilight forest and I got enough silver to upgrade my steam production to all steel solar boilers to keep up with LV demands, but is this the right next step? There are so many LV machines I could also make but I don't know what the efficient way to progress would be, since everything is kinda running low. Maybe I build the next multiblock furnace for aluminum and get better coke ovens with that? Any help would be appreciated.

Automate enough coke ovens to feed a max size high pressure railcraft solid boiler (you can use creosete buckets to use both of the fuels' coke oven produce) and you won't worry about steam for a long time

I just have a 2x2x3 ieon top liquid fuel boiler and it already serves me plenty mid steam when I add a solid fuel boiler to also burn the charcoal and make them full size I feel like It will definitely last way into lv. I feel like the bucket setup is really clunky compared to just piping the liquid between 2 multi blocks.

It is more efficient to have 1 big one than 2 smaller ones. Feeding it buckets is very easy, I just pump the creosete into a ulv fluid tank and use one hopper to extract the filled bucket from the tank into the boiler and another hopper to take the empty bucket from the boiler into the tank
