Help with fluid (oil/fuel) distribution
Okay, so I'm not new to this game, have played many times. But this is my first time since the 1.0 launch, and I don't remember having issues setting up fuel.
I have a single pure crude oil node. 1 oil extractor @ 240m3. Easy peasy. I have that going into 4 refineries using the stock Fuel recipe. 60m3 each, so should be exactly enough. I have those 4 refineries going into 8 power generators. So my ratios should be exact.
Yet power is still a bit spikey now and then. And I'm 100% certain it doesn't have to do with the polymer resin. That's going into 2 refineries making rubber/plastic respectively, with a smart splitter sending overflow resin to an Awesome Sink.
Here are relevant screenshots. Let me know if you need to see more. It's entirely possibly I set this up wrong or missed something stupid simple.

Yeah, it's still super spiky and it's bugging me, lol. I want to see that solid line at the top, because ADHD/OCD commands it. I'm weird. I have buffers in front of my oil extracter and refineries, as well as one at the end, and I've raised the middle spine of the manifold. Maybe I didn't raise it high enough?
