1.0 power transfer
I might be missing something but is there a way to send power between floors?
I really want to do an area for power storage and another for generation but i dont see a way to send it between floors i really expected the elevator to have a plug port or something.

It's the floor. Make sure the floor of the elevator is connected to your generators, and it transfers power up and down. There seems to be a limit on how far it goes, though. Power from floor 1 will go up as far as floor 11, so I guess the transfer distance is probably 10 floors, so it would be best to set power up on one of the middle floors.

[edit]Wait, never-mind. I won't mention which floor, but there seems to be a message about something wrong with electrics on one of the floors, so you likely have to do something to fix power transfer up beyond that point.

I thought I saw/heard something in one of the tutorial messages that you're supposed to connect the floor of the elevator to your grid?

Not sure as I haven't tried to transmit power yet.

Is there any way to Automate your power instead of places fibers and crank handles all the time?

It's really annoying and i haven't got to the storage portion yet

Yes. You get water wheels on level 4 to automate cranks. And you grow kindle vine in Planters and thresh it for fuel that you can you can deliver to your drills/smelters.
