For anyone who needs explanation, spore to coal gets you about 30% more power.
Spore straight to steam gets you a conversion rate of 25.8 water for 291.5 power (powering exactly one Steam Turbine), so -11.30 power per unit of water, not counting potential water collection costs.
Spore to oil to coal to steam gets you a conversion rate of 15.9 water to 235.18 power (powering exactly one Steam Turbine), so -14.79 power per unit of water, not counting potential water collection costs. Including the conversion tax of the spore press and coal centrifuge.
Now, is it more space and/or more build cost efficient? I'll let you guys figure that one out. In terms of space you have more complexity, and while you have half the Cultivators you also have to add in Presses and Centrifuges. And I think the build cost is about the same, except for maybe exchanging relatively small amounts of copper and silicon for lead, graphite, and titanium. Just do remember to beware the hefty siligone cost of steam turbines and unloaders.
Also the split water and power stats listed in the second image are for whether you have the research/plastanium for the Overdrive Projector.
The schematic also doesn't tile downwards, but it does go left, right, and up.
