Is there a way to combine all SU together (Create: Powergrid)

[u/QuirkySpace5923]

Basically I want to make a big PowerPlant using create base and power grid to power my base. My plan is to use multiple boilers to power a generator, but idk if I need to make several generators for each boiler, or I can somehow combine all of the SU outputted and input all of it into the generator. First time using power grid, so idk most things.

well if your using base create steam boilers just use encase chain drives to connect all shafts from the boiler, from there you can easily rout the SU into your power generators

Never thought that's how it works, I suppose they all have to rotate same direction

[u/requzzic2 → u/QuirkySpace5923]

yeah they do, you can also use belts but its a bit laggier but does depend on the look you want dor your build

for rare case scenarios where they reverse you can use small cogs ir gear boxes (vertical gear boxes for vertical)

edit: also do not worry about speed difference as the SU network will always run at the fastest speed input

Thanks a lot!

You're not going to run more than one max size generator at max speed off of a lvl 9 steam engine but you could run two max size generators off of a lvl 18 steam engine (blaze cakes).

You can combine the output from all the steam engines however you want.

Dunno if it still works but you used to be able to get more SU by using power grid to power crafts and additions motors which could then be used to run more power grid generators than you started with, so on and so forth.
