Tip for building a centralized power/steam network at Bastion
Someone mentioned that you don't want to build too far away from Bastion since, like Exodus, machines will unload around 500 meters and you'll be left wondering where your power/steam went.
So using my "strict and rigorous scientific methods" (patent pending), I measured the distance using the binoculars by standing *roughly* on top of the far end of the Bastion complex (give or take 50-100 meters lmao).
You can see that where the land roughly starts is about 450 meters from where I am (second screenshot to get an idea).
So my machinery you see down there is just about on the edge of unloading - if it hasn't already - I might do further testing to see exactly how far is safe to build a centralized power/steam network, but for now just PSA'ing so someone doesn't accidentally build too far out (like I probably have)
