So I like building big bases. Usually I run into problems with producing & consuming too much power.
I do not like to split my power system even though that is the easiest way to deal with this.
In my last world, I used a design by Saturnus to put more than 20kw on a wire:
Now I might have set it up wrongly but the problem I ran into is that my cable which had all the generators on it, would take damage because it would exceed the 20kw produced, not consumed.
