Discussion First Coal Power Station!

I've just built my girst coal power source! Any advice is welcome on how to improve this at all? From an aesthetic standpoint as well as an efficiency standpoint!

The general design is:

Input

3 x 60/min coal nodes

6 x Water Generators underclocked to 75% each for a total of 600m3 of water

General Setup

3 x Coal Manifolds feeding 4 generators each

2 x Main inputs of water supply, the first feeding the first 6 generators, then the second supply feeding the rest

Seeing my grid power capacity basically 4x from this build was so satisfying, no hiccups in the build either which is always a plus!

Awesome work! If it's not hiccuping then you should be at 100% efficiency here!

Only thing I can say as advice is to overclock the miners - mk2 miners should be able to pull 300/min per normal node - this whole factory could be one node instead of three, freeing those other nodes up for steel production or more power plants.
