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. | A more efficient design would be to place a wire between the mill and the central cable/batbox.

These watermills doesnt seem to be much effective if unmanned. Even considering the low iron cost, they still are as twice uneffective as the solar panels. Am I not seeing something in the design? [[User:Trepach|Trepach]] 21:19, 25 May 2012 (CEST) | |||

- 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
- Was that IC1 or IC2? Werewolf nr 19:10, 2 December 2011 (CET)
- On a similar account: Have you noticed that batboxes seem to be not always connecting to watermills? Try it: Place watermill with water around. Place batbox adjacent to it. Look for power intake. rebuild and look again and take notes. It happens quite often ... i was wondering if i was placing those watermills wrongly. ;) Fortescue 19:09, 22 March 2012 (CET)
