gollark: Unless you make the reactor building very big.

gollark: For wiring from the reactor to cells, we can afford most things.

gollark: So if you feed the reactor output straight into a cell and make the cell output into three fluxducts, you could have the actual long range wiring carry all the power, but each machine would only receive 1kRF/t max unless you have a bunch of connections on that machine.
