Original platform height on that coal was fine. But getting them to snap is a bit finicky you kind of have to point away from the node. Or just remove one platform square over the node to help getting it to snap then replace. I've had a number of spots higher than that one. Tip on hog fighting. Wait for them to run at you, step to the side and attack them. Even the big hog with run right past you as you whack it a couple of times. Turn around and wait for the next attack. This of course works best one on one so milage may vary.
Prior to Tier 2 pipes it's easier on the brain to just put down 3 water pumps and under clock them to 100 water each (300 pipe speed) and that will support 6 coal gens which will want 90 coal per minute so you need a t2 belts for that. All this is in line with your current tech. Once you have tier 2 pipes and faster belts you can run 8 gens on 3 water pumps. But I always just upgrade in sets of 6 anyways. Less power needed for the water = more power for my factory. Tip: Run at a pipe press C to slide under it to get to the other side.
Another great episode!
Hi Kederk. Congrats on 2K subscribers-you're getting there!

Thanks for the tip, I'd forgotten about sliding all together
