Why this little bit of water isn't heated by 100kg of steam next to it? (programming.dev)

Can someone explain this? Steam turbine can't consume steam, because it's blocked by this.

Is the ladder acting like a heat sink and it just hasn't heated up enough yet? How hot is the steam/ladder?

Steam has 109°C, same as ladder and conveyor rail

I see there is a solid in the bottom left fluid block. That might also be acting like a heat sink too. Whats the mass/temperature/material of that solid? Also the big coal chunks? I'm guessing they're still in the process of getting heated up.

Also, I think the minimum temperature for steam turbine inputs is 125? I think for maximum efficiency you also need at least 200C w/ all 5 vents open.

My point is that you probably want your system quite a bit hotter anyways.
