on electricity- is it going to be like a generator with wires strung all about hooking up all your electric machines, or just charged batteries or electric cells that input into electric stuff?

Right now I'm planning an energy source, feeding into energy storage, then that distributing to stuff that is within a radius of the storage container. There's a level of magic there, and it would be cool to have wires between everything, but we have to consider rendering, networking and collision for all those wires. So we're taking the easy route for now.,
