Dropshock:
Oh man, gears/axles and power is harder than I thought. I'll need way more than two windmills.

You'll want to use axles in place of gears if you can. Axles take 1 power, gears take 5.

But to turn a direction, I have to use gears, right?
I ended up needing 40 power on the Z level of my pumps because of all the axles/gears. I have to manuever them oddly to position it to the gear and pump.

Is all this machinery hoopla necessary in the long run or can I stay a simple fortress?
