Electricity and Auto Turrets

[Pinhead Larry]

So I have 2 Windmills, connected to a root combiner, connected to a splitter, connected to two large batteries and each battery is connecte to one autoturret. how come the autoturret turns off and on in a 5second period all the time? windmills give 70 electricity each and a turret uses 10... so some should be stored in a large battery, no?

Power in rust is different than in real life, From what I learned; you cannot charge a battery and run it at the same time. The battery needs to be connected to a switch then to the turret. If you have only multiple turrets I suggest you use Branches instead since a single turret takes 10 energy to power. Do the math via Branch energy split and you can set up 10 total turrets from one large batter, but also keep in mind, more turrets mean a faster energy drain from your battery. If you want some more help I can teach you what I know
