Q about power coil placement

I have my machines in a row with 3 empty blocks between them.

If I place my power coils like this, will they work?

M = machine

  • = space
    P = Power Coil

M-PP-M

In other words, will the first P, power the machine on its left while the 2nd P powers the machine to its right, or do I need another empty block between the power coils?

M-P-P-M

Thanks.

no space needed placement wise, but you will need room to repair the coils

What do you mean by room to repair?

Don’t I just use a spanner?

The PC’s are right next to each machine.

You just need to make sure that you have a clear line of sight to reach each coil separately with the spanner.

It’s not a big deal if you’re placing a few coils but it’s something you have to remember especially if you plan to add coils in stacks or layers later.
