Circulators now draw air based on the total volume of the pipe network connected to the input. They also generate some power in the same manner as pipe turbines.

Browse Source 
Thermoelectric generators now generate much more power, mostly due to the increase in circulator intake volume.

Supermatter no longer powers radiation collectors, and is tweaked to run at 4000-6000K.

TEG supermatter engine mapped in. Currently generates ~1MW of power with chamber temperature of 5000K.
