Devices that use power are also capable of transferring it. Adjacent screw pumps will transfer power between themselves. The only way to prevent this is to leave a tile gap between devices, or move them diagonally from each other. | Devices that use power are also capable of transferring it.

Single-tile rollers transfer power in all four cardinal directions. Rollers transfer power perpendicular to their direction and ''may'' transfer along their direction (it's unreliable). | Single-tile rollers transfer power in all four cardinal directions.

| + | In a non-switched power bus (e.g. collecting power from water wheels or feeding many pumps on the same level) rollers are clearly more efficient: they have power drain 1/5 of gears, though not trivial to connect at the ends (with water wheel arrays it's easier to alternate sides, connecting through the end wheels). | ||
