In case anyone missed it in TNB and Discord: our D&D campaign is in need of more players due to people dropping out. Swing by the Discord channel and ping me if you want to join!

Accumulators are overrated
 
Why so many tanks?

They hold steam in a buffer for the steam engines

Low-tech, cheap accumulators
 
What are you buffering against? Water or coal running out?

Coal

Water is infinite

Also it helps handle big power spikes smoother

You can run out of coal?!

Yeah, when the patch runs dry
 
That...that actually happens? :O

Happens pretty quickly if you take a while to get electric furnaces, solar power, and accumulators because you have to wage an unending war against the bugs just to get to a stone patch :P
 
Ahh, so you buy yourself time to set up a mining operation on a new patch.

I also keep a backup of wood for the boilers in case the coal runs out, because I can't possibly use all of this wood
