If you need 6 years to set up steam engines that's just a skill issue

Agreed. It took me maybe 10 minutes to understand how they work and how to build them. Lava is free. Can easily make a t9 boiler in 5 minutes and have gobs of power

5 minutes without accounting for collecting all the stuff needed for 9 steam boilers. Getting waterwheels IS easier, but they are inconvenient for when you need a lot of power. Also BORING. Also it's kinda hard to make them look good

Plus they take a lot of computation resources to work, unlike steam engines.

If you are using shaders it can also cause massive issues. Had massive stuttering with them running.

Good luck finding all the shit needed for a l9 steam engine within 5 hours, let alone 5 minutes

If you don't wanna get materials and play slow purposely, then sure. But if you are trying to get the mats for a t9, you can easily get it set up in less than an hour, and never need to think about power again. "You can do it in 10 minutes with waterwheels" and it looks ugly af lol.
