    So the display block technique used in the post referred to by mid endian is very useful in playing with these things. I set up what you described and got 39 blocks when I would have expected 37 because of 3 ORs being used. Then with just 2 turbines and 1 OR I got 19 blocks. What got interesting is that I added one, then two more OR blocks in a chain and it stayed at 19! I think this could turn into a very educational little tool! Unfortunately all my gray hair...

    Fantastic thank you. I'll have to play with OR gates. I was searching "ylands energy" so that thread didn't come up. Yeah I think a semi-complex power grid is probably a rather niche function so I can't see that being any kind of a priority. At least with the help gained here I can plan things out better!

    Were you using 'energy AND / OR ' devices? I haven't done it yet but I'm assuming that's what they are for. Okay done in Creative. 1 windmill to splitter to 2 chargers does not work: 20 - 1 = 19/2= 9.5 as TheSparkPlug said. But 2 Windmills to AND to splitter to charger and splitter to charger does work: 20 + 20 - 1 = 39 - 1 = 38 / 2 = 19 to charger and 19 - 1 = 18 to charger > note you cannot split the stream at this splitter since that would result in 9 to...

    This was driving me a bit crazy so here is my theory on energy calculation. Setup - Windmill to small switch to street lamp with 2 nodes to splitter to charging station and festive lamp. Problem: when I connect the festive lamp the charging station shuts down, despite the windmill telling me I have 7 'points' left. Hypothesis: Since each node is 1 'point', and the bodies of the splitter, lamp, and switch are one point, then the lamp and switch are in fact...
