Power outputs and max turrets


The autonomy for batteries and small generator is intended at max power consume supposing it is full charged, example: if a circuit wired to a large battery is consuming a total of 100 power the large battery will have an autonomy of 4 hours when full charged; when consuming a total of 50 power the large battery will have an autonomy of 8 hours when full charged.
Optimal circuits for max turrets
These are simple circuits that can be modified by adding extra components (when possible) in between the ones I mention. I recommend adding switches so that it can be possible to reload the turrets easily.
Notice that most electrical components consume 1 power, ceiling lights and ingiters consume 2 power, tesla coils consume up to 35 power, sam sites consume 25 power and auto turrets consume 10 power.

Small Rechargable Battery

This can only be wired directly.

Medium Rechargable Battery

Wire the battery to an electrical branch, branch out 10 power to turret n1. The rest of the power gets wired to a splitter and from it wire turret n2, n3 and n4 for each output of the splitter.

Large Rechargable Battery

Wire the battery to a splitter and from each output of it wire another splitter. Each output of the three splitters goes to a turret.

Small Generator

Wire the generator to a splitter, each output of the splitter goes to a turret.

Large Solar Panel

Wire directly or with an electrical branch, branch out 10 power for the turret and the rest goes to extra electricity components.

Wind Turbine

Wire the generator to an electrical branch, branch out 10 power for turret n1. The rest of the power gets wired to another electrical branch, from this branch out 10 power for turret n2, and it goes on like this.

Test Generator

Wire the generator to a splitter and from each output of it wire another splitter. Each output of the three splitters goes to a turret.
Supply battery
If the raiders destroy the main power source the turrets will turn off, if there's no supply battery. To wire a supply battery make the main power source flow into an electrical branch, branch out up to 15 power to the battery's input and make the rest of the power go into a switch (this switch can be turned off to disable the main power source and make the battery sustain the turrets). Wire the switch to another electrical branch, branch out 2 power and wire it to the blocking input of a blocker (blue component), the rest of the power goes into the input A of an OR switch. Wire the output of the battery to the input of the blocker, the output of the blocker goes to the input B of the OR switch. From the output of the OR switch follow the simple circuits for medium battery / large battery based on which one you're using or on the amount of power your main power source has.
