This can be helpful with water wheels, as sometimes the water is lower than the ground meaning the shafts can’t be built across to the land. High power shafts mean that they can be elevated to wherever they need to go by using a platform.It is not recommended to prioritize spending the points on these options in the early game, as the other options are very useful and functional, and science points can take a long time to accumulate. These options require science points to unlock them. The dams and levees can work well in conjunction to speed up the water flow, therefore making the water wheel run faster and generate power quicker. The water wheel must have running water to provide power. However, it can be a difficult power supply to use depending on your usage of dams and levees. To use this power supply, you will need to connect it to land. Water Wheel (180 power) is placed on a river.Beavers' pathing can be a bit awkward at times, so make sure there is room for the beaver to get out from where it is building the power supply, as they can get stuck behind it. The bonus to the power wheel is its ability to be placed close to a building, meaning it won’t need many shafts to connect them together. It’s very cute, but it will always require a worker, so make sure you have one available for this purpose. Power wheel (50 power) allows one of your beavers to occupy the wheel and generate energy from running inside the wheel.

The buildings will come up with a blue outline that shows you where you need to connect to and from.

Shafts are necessary for your power options, as they are what connects the power supply to buildings.
