A more efficient design would be to place a wire between the mill and the central cable/batbox. The difference is an addition .02 EU per tick, which adds up over several hundred water mills. Also, by stringing them along tin cable to meet at a central batbox 39 tin cable away from the furthest mill, you can save a lot of bat boxes by sacrificing a little space. If you're really worried about space, a water mill 'web' with tin cable should be a theoretically effective design, since the packets will never exceed 5EU a tick. This makes it possible to create a ring with a radius of 37, with a rather high potential EU production (forcing an upgrade to an MFE or possibly a MFSU, if my numbers aren't totally off), though the exact number I haven't quite figured out yet. | |||

- The watermill produces 0,0014EU/waterblock... not 0,014EU/waterblock. i testet that with 256 Watermills and 9 solar panels - they emmit almost the same value of EU. Can someone confirm that? -06:32, 21 June 2011 Adester
