Create Multiple Independent Power Networks
Understand Color Coding
Each
Ender Battery has colored pads on top. The combination of colors you select determines which network that battery belongs to. Different color combinations = different networks.
Set Up Network One
Place your first pair of batteries (input and output) and set both to color combination A. Configure one as input and one as output. Connect your first power source and first machine group.
Set Up Network Two
Place a second pair of batteries and set both to color combination B (different colors than Network A). Set one to input and one to output. Connect your second power source and second machine group.
Expand as Needed
Repeat this process for each independent power network you need. You can have as many networks as you want running simultaneously — they won't interfere with each other.
Organize Your Colors
Consider using a consistent naming scheme (like "Red-Blue for smelters, Green-Yellow for mining") to keep track of which network serves which machines.
