HowTo:Power

A couple of crafting stations like the Lathe, Sawmill and the Powered Crusher needs power to operate.

The primary power producers are the Windmill and the Water Wheel, they both deliver mechanical power that needs to be conveyed to the the stations that needs it. This is accomplished by several connectors, there is horizontal as well as vertical versions with differing power exchange quota and efficiency.

The basic setup is: Power producer --> 1 or more connectors --> Powered Station eg: Windmill --> Horizontal Connector 1/1 --> Powered Crusher

Connecting these together can be a bit finicky, it is therefore strongly recommended that any station,connector or power producer be placed on foundations if possible, since this makes the alignment a lot easier.

Power can be transferred to several Stations from one producer at the same time, eg one can connect 4 horizontal connectors the the windmill.
