With the dominate white and cyan secondary colors scheme for your base, both the regular framed drawers you used and the alternative color works. Your ability to build very tight systems using Functional Drawers is impressive. These are almost multi-block machines in their own right. I've seen people use LaserIO or Blood Magic routers to do similar, but this is just boxes all the time.
I try to make everything as compact as possible, while giving myself buffer space for fluids/items so that I never run out when needed. I personally think using functional storage is beyond the best way to do it as well.
For your rotational setup, might it be better or more efficient if you made some electric motors and clutches? Dedicate your biodiesel generators to generating power with the magnets, send that power around with cables to the various machines you use as well as to a few electric motors for all of your rotational needs. Similar to the water wheels, throw a clutch in front of the motors to turn things off when not in use. Just flick a lever whenever you want to use the mechanical crafters, for example, and there you go. Depending on how much power you'd actually be generating, you might even be able to leave them all running at all times, but that's not likely. With electric motors, you have less worries about things suddenly becoming overstressed. If you're saving power with clutches, you should never have to worry about losing too much power at your compressors. I know there is some loss using a motor, but I don't think it should be enough to worry about.
Yea I considered clutching up the entire setup, however, I should have oil refinery's setup in the next 2 episodes, and have force-infused diesel + liquid oxygen, which will be more than enough SU to cover my base hopefully. Thanks for the idea though
