wires overloading when under max load

Dont connect lower tier wires to heavy wires directly. Use transformers.

so ignoring physics

 

Im waiting for someone to say "in the real world you would need a junction box or a fuse between the large wire and the smaller one" .. thats ONLY if your following code .. physics doesn't prevent you from just directly connecting them , in that case your entire wire is your fuse but as long as you never go over it's rated amperage it will never be an issue .. the fact that the transformer is their is great for protecting your runs off the main , but in cramped quarters it shouldn't matter if im using a 2 foot small wire that is rated at 1KW to move 205W , forcing the transformer in this case is just a forced game mechanic that doesn't make sense.

You may complain all you want, thats fine. But thats how the game works, and you have to deal with it, like all of us.

The water flows on the oil or petroleum even when they have lower density than water (in real life and ingame). U can compress infinite amount of gas in a single tile without turning into liqued. U can heat up coal in an oxigen rich environment to 5000K without burning it. U can find lots of things which is far from real life phisics. Try to imagine the game is happening in an other univers with crazy phisics laws, which sometimes turns on and off.
