you should have batteries to avoid loss of power in weapons but if you are loosing power in machines then you should make more generators.
I do not dispute that but what i was referring to was the distance plays a part in the distribution of power as well so if you have 3 lines connected to 1 node and farthest one has all your defenses then it would loss out to the other 2 nodes unless you stored some power during the round so that you had a reliable source when the wave came Generation is a key but distribution is the bottle neck unless you want to waste resources to build redundancies
