My system takes in about 4k HP during the day and about 2.5k during the night. Power shafts have no district limit so you can power a factory on one side of the map with a windmill on the other side through a battery in the north corner. Otherwise micromanaging it can become a nightmare. Just make sure you only run one power system for the whole map. I can run the whole system for days without wind and once it kicks in it refills the batteries very quickly. In my current playthrough I support a huge industry with six or seven batteries with 28k potential each. A battery that stores 20k or 30k is already very good. I just need help understanding exactly how they work best.Įdit: If it's not clear, I'm mainly seeking advice on how to best build a battery station to improve my enjoyment of Folktails. But, if this is the best way to keep my workshops going, I will. But aside from that, the thought of building something high up to maximize the batteries, building a lot of batteries themselves and then connecting everything is not at all appealing. I've only vaguely experimented with them, so I'm not certain how they best work. But I'm not sure how to best utilize them. ![]() I'm not sure if they are like droughts and really do get worse over time, or if it's just my imagination fueled by frustration. It seems with increasing frequency and duration, they just. I don't want to abandon this project, I'm determined to see it through. I'm now 70 cycles in with a massive project going. Not quitting them in frustration after 10 cycles. So I committed to trying them out in earnest. I see the Folktails love on here and kept thinking, there must be something that I'm missing. In spite of them being log hogs, I like my engines.īut, I'm trying. I wanted to try them out as soon as I was able and have stuck with them. Only loss is the water that gets vaporated over time - but if you use your main water storage to pump AND refill it, that wont matterĮdit: screenshot shows the advanced version - 3 rows, spilling it back in the source, where it flows back to the left pumps, get pumped, and dumped (right next to it) on the top left.I'm an Iron Teeth kind of girl. So, with just 1 wall inbetween the wheels, u get the same amount of power AND get the water back to the source to repump it. ![]() you are right, i have mine just 1 wheel wide and use the space to loop it. Do you have yours only 2 wide by any chance? I made mine 4 wide (2 wheels side by side) which will double the required amount of water but also allows me to place double the amount of wheels so kinda makes sense that you can do it with 8 dumps if your system is only 1 wheel wide. But any less dumps and it would either stop for a few seconds or only run a few wheels at one time. ![]() It was just a test world modded with creative mode. Its important that they have full buffs and are 95%+ efficient. Originally posted by Speadge:when u loop it back, u can pump the water back in again u just dumped.Īnd yes, i have it running constantly with ~8 dumps. The only way you lose water to this is from evaporation so add an extra pump to where you gather your drinking water from to account for that. Have a separate pool where you gather water from. I do recommend having a run off at the end just in case but if you stay within the range you should never waste water.Īlso you should not rely on these pumps as your source of drinking water. You also need to calculate your drinking usage + the total capacity of the tank where you dump the water (in my case here 21x2x2) and only have storage for that amount of water + up to 10% extra or you'll flood. You need at least 18 pumps and 18 dumps other wise there is not enough force to power all the wheels. ![]() In the picture I have 14 wheels which produce 2520hp (46.6hp per beaver) A little less efficient than the running wheel but this is much cooler ) I've come up with a water power generator which requires 36 beavers to operate +18 haulers. You can always use those little running wheels but they generate very little power and need a beaver to operate. Not only that but you only get 7 days of wet season and 2 of those days are refilling the reservoir. I've been playing on hard and custom game modes and especially with the iron teeth, 30+ day droughts are harsh! the only power option you have are the furnaces which eat through your wood supply.
