Adding 1462 Copper Sheets Per Minute to my MEGA Factory! - Let's Play Satisfactory 

Sorry for the math... You are correct. Power consumption is not exponential. There's an exponent of 1.6, but applied to the overclock value multiplying the consumption. So with an overclock set at 200% (meaning x2), the power consumption for a 30 MW refinery is : 30 * 2^1.6 = 90.943, so over 3x as much power. About your other question regarding a common target overclock for all machines, it's simpler as there are no exponents. Start with your target overclocked production rate for a machine (which is 37.5 in your case), and divide that by the normal production rate of the machine, which is 22.5. So just type "37.5/22.5" as the overclock value which = 1.666667 or 166.6667%, yielding 37.5 sheets per machine. You also inquired about the impact on overclocking a single machine more than the others in a group. It's not super significant, but can add-up. Your setup of 1*66.6667% + 6*150% + 6*200% across 3 rows will consume 2717.1 MW, while a setup with 13*166.6667% will consume 2649.39 MW, so almost 70 MW or the equivalent of running a little over two more refineries. As if this reply was not awkward enough, If you wanted to avoid overclocking, the same production would require 65 refineries instead of 39, but the power consumption would only be 1950 MW.

Great to hear!

I think so yeah, will have to test as its close, but I think so. Because people struggled with placing pumps too low or too high in my coal generator video, I place the first pump at the same height as the foundation level to the extractor just for ease of building. But With the 10m height, plus 50 it might just work with 1 Mk2 pump placed correctly.

What you wrote is just a complicated way of saying (45+30) /2=37.5

I feel the opposite I’m afraid

I think theres a speedrun for like 2hrs or something

Playing with a focus of just completion you can finish the space elevator deliveries in less than 150 hours.
