you don't need a lot of ppc's, only 2 or 3 tops, you are supposed to turn up the reactor during raids to produce enough power to keep them charged, also don't bunch them together, build firewalls, and fire suppression, you can also split your weapon arrays by isolating a bank of weapons on 1 ppc on their own power net and power it with its own transformer, you can then reduce the power on your main base transformers to divert power to the weapons array during raids

huh i hadn't thought of giving each weapon array its own ppc, thats a great idea. thanks for the quick response man, loving the mod so far, and i feel like ive only just scratched the surface.

i added a screenshot of the idea to the end of the list on the page

I strongly recommend RT's fuse mod to help protect your base from being vaporized by a single short in late game where you have lots of power stored. It allows you to build fuses and breakers to protect against the explosion. Your batteries still get drained, but at least it isn't catastrophic.

Hi Dub, I was going rimatomics for weapons only so I can't turn up power terribly easily, I was getting power through rimefeller chemfuel generators so I was using bigger banks of PPC. Even if not using this, storing up power from any source to use weapons from banks off PCC would be nice.
Is this not meant to be viable without a fuse mod or is there another way to make this safer? You mentioned transformers but is that just for nuclear use? Going banks of PPC is good for setups where I have resource but not time to research / build a whole reactor and am drilling oil. I tried splitting one half of rimefeller power stations to PPCs and weapons only but they still got blown up by zzts. taa

if you're trying to use a lot of energy weapons at the same time then you will need nuclear, or another mod that can generate a lot of power, the rimefeller generators will allow you to use a few energy weapons, building more and more ppc's isn't good because eventually they will run out of power in a sustained fight
