This should solve my power for a while. Turbofuel is really nice. Clean burning, too!

Pro tip: Power shards increase power consumption exponentially for machines, but linearly for generators. That means that a generator at 250% overclock is exactly the same as 2.5 generators at 100%. This saves a lot of space with turbofuel. In the bottom right you’ll see 25 generators. Without overclocking I would’ve needed 63 of them. I have been judicious with my power shards, so this was nice.

I was really satisfied with this picture. You can see pretty much all of the build in one shot The only thing you can’t see is the sulfur extraction.

    I set up a plant there yesterday. 56 generators just from the 2 pure oil nodes in the cave. I didn’t think to powershard them.

      Coal power was my first big project where I used some blueprints and stuff. Don’t worry. I think a lot of things in this game seem intimidating because they’re so huge, but everything in the game is just big.

      Just keep at it!

        Yeah plastic felt scary at first but i realised the process is just like iron and copper (in how the factories are built). I love how this game lets me go at my own pace
