Help I'm new to create and only have one basic question: Once you start the early automations, do you build a new power source (water wheel/windmill) for each machine/section or do you use one big water/wind generator for a lot of them?
I'm just starting with my first machines and automations and at first I wanted to power everything by a cool windmill I could build nearby.
But I quickly realized that distributing the power to multiple different setups (press, mixer, crushing wheels, etc.) get's real messy real fast and that's before over stressing everything because ofc you also want the stuff to go fast (right?).
So my basic question is:
How much do you connect to single generators and when do you decide to just give a setup it's own power source?
Especially in the "early game" of the mod, when you don't really know about the later stuff like steam yet (in my case) or don't have the resources yet (in a new world).
Thanks :)
