How to jump a heavi-watt wire over another heavi-watt wire?

[oxyv6791]

For example, one horizontal wire and one vertical wire (both are heavi-watt wires) cross each other without connecting together.

For normal wires (the 1 kw wires), I can simply use a wire brige to jump one over another. However, there isn't a corresponding "heavy wire bridge" for heavi-watt wires. Someone says the heavi-watt joint plate is effectively the bridge for heavi-watt wires, but heavy wire cannot cross the middle tile of the joint plate.

A bunch of transformers and some automation.

That's the neat thing: you don't.

In the unmodded game you have to make crossings using normal wires.

The inability of heavi-watt wires to cross is probably meant to be a "puzzle" aspect. So you have to design your power grid such that heavi-watt wires don't need to cross.

Or better yet, don't use heavy watt wire

should not need any automation.. one wire goes up between on the 4k transformers middle.. and use heavy wire on the input and output and put enough 4k to equal what your preferred output is ( so if 20k, you need 5 of them )

that only works if you take the power one direction. automation is for both directions

Use timers eeeeeevrywhere.... My base max pull around 6-10kw on each wire. But only around 1.5-2kw at any given time.  I think my only heavy watt wire runs inside the battery box.

 

Unless your making some crazy laser cannon. . . ? !!!

why would you need to? your power producers = one spot or one source.. why add complication to it? power goes in one direction, having any automation just adds unneeded complexity? .... or am i missing something that could be made better ? or a scenario that i can't think of?
