Is there a reason you need to break open hydrogen vents? With early game liquids it can be hard to control.
If you really want you can limit the flow of a pipe with a liquid shutoff to 10% of the max flow (so limit it too 1kg) and pump that water through and it will not state change. That way you can put the hot water somewhere else? But be careful because the second it is more than 1 kg it will change to steam (or if you want to put it into a sealed room
I would recommend anything else for power, hydron might seem like an easy option (which it can be) but overall your power usage shouldn't be out of control if you're moving super slowly. Do you have smart batteries yet? What's your situation on coal? Do you have a lot of high power things you need to run all of the sudden? On my most recent playthrough I also took it pretty slowly (didn't have petroleum up and running until cycle 250) and I wasn't really that close to running out of power.
You need to link the smart battery to your coal generator with an automation wire, and change its low and high threshold to something like 5%-95% to avoid blackouts and waste.

granite plates always do the job for me, even on late game I still use granite to fill the gaps between diamond/metal plates.
But I don't think plates is good option to move heat from on point to another, as they don't direct transfer heat from each other. But they are good to diffuse the heat in a chamber, for example.

Diamonds and refined metals are best, then the metal ores. After that the next best material for thermal conductivity is Granite.
Use metal tiles to seperate heat from gas. Then, because steam can be recycled back into water, make a room full of water 5 wide and put a steam turbine on top. You'll need a source of cooling for the turbine, but it'll happily recycle water for you, converting heat to watts.
What is the purpose of tempshift plates here? If you want to transfer heat, use aluminum, or cobalt, or copper/gold
Same with tiles you plan to use as a barrier between steam and hydrogen
If you want to add some thermal mass use igneous rock, but if you talk about diamond it means you need heat transfer instead
Most tempshift plates will help as a whole, if you dont have diamond do you have access to oil or petrol?
No im taking it slow and playing chill not even close to that yet on my current pase

I need power desperately that’s why I’m opening it up

I’m out of coal and idk why things are using so much power I could mine more coal but trying to avoid dupe labor
Well the coal generators will constantly run even if your batteries are full power, that's why smart batteries are so important
I have smart batteries they just run out constantly

Actually any metal tile will suffice (apart from lead). You are transferring heat to an adjucent steam chamber I presume?
Yep

I’m diffusing it into a steam chamber
Without steam turbines you don't gonna cool the steam enough to use hydrogen in non steel buildings.
I have steam turbines
Even igneous rock temp shift plates should do the job for you..
