![]() It's only power consumers that cause overloads, and transformers don't count as consumers. So long as there are no consumers you can even use regular wire for >1kW of generators. 775 Posted As the hint says - The power flows from LEFT to RIGHT. Power from a distant turbine can be fed in to the main grid by wiring it to a transformer input and having the output on heavy wire. Large transformers are also built out of refined metal, something you may find yourself in excess of later on due to volcanoes or space. 2 small transformers is 1 wider than a large transformer, and double the miniscule heat generation. Heavy join plates do conduct heat but only between tiles, not along the wire itself. You'll need 2 small transformers to fully utilize conductive wire (aka put more than 1kw of power draw on it). You can connect the aquatuner shown here by using heavy join plates connecting through a small vaccuum room beside the steam chamber. So you do end up with a heavy wire running most of the height of the map.īeyond that, you can do some smarts like linking aquatuners directly to heavy wire, since they would nearly saturate a single transformer anyway. Eg: always run steam turbines (to burn off heat) gas generators run if the batteries get lower than 50%, coal generators kick in if the batteries get lower than 20%. ![]() Once all batteries are synced up, you can use automation to stagger sets of generators. A 'normal' power layout has pretty much all of your power generators and batteries on a single heavy wire, and power consumers on their own smaller circuits connected via transformers. ![]()
