1.81 Hydroplant Ideas

    Hello all,


    I saw the change log for 1.81 (update woohoo!) and saw that it says we can now use water cells in watermills. However, the wiki says water towers don't work anymore and I'm not sure if that's true. However, I was wondering, how viable do you think it would be to use watermills with cells in conjunction with a pump to serve as a power plant of sorts? Also, can we stack multiple water cells in a watermill?


    Sadly, I won't be able to test this for a few days, but please if you try this, let me know. Since solar power got nerfed, I've been using mainly wind, and not too much water due to the number of them you need, but this seems like it makes water generation far more doable on a small scale.


    Cheers,
    Draxis

    It's not...



    Your best bet is to surround all of the water wills with water, and then place a pump on top of the mills and allow the unmanned power to feed into the pump, and the manned power to output as 'free' energy..

    Although you may want to double check my math in order to insure the accuracy of this design. Also, this doesn't include the piping of the cells as well, but that may not be an issue if you continue to expand up vertically...
