I think that's a bug. I can't conect the automatic well to the woodburner. I'm using the switch but it still show that it isn't connected. Gonna send the screenshot in case I'm a dummie and didn't connect it right. 
So the wood burner produces electricity. I does not need to be hooked up to anything. You need to build a transformer and connect that up to a relay. The relay gives power to switches (in a radius around the relay) and switches give power to machines. I need t write a tutorial about that. I hope this helps. Relays can also be hooked together to distribute power different places.
So, should I just built the transformer near the woodburner? I did that and hooked it to the relay, then i tried to hook the relay up to the switch (transformer>relay>switch>electric well), but the relay doesn't connect to the switch. I can't conect it to the electrical well and connecting it switch>releay also doesn't do anything.
ok. Heh, i thought that the circle shows the radious in which the cable can be connected.
Also, i have another question. I what intervals new NPCs arrive? I have 5 beds and only 2 NPCs are in my town. And what is that 3rd stat, the one under ammount of beds in your setelment? Is it related to how much food the town has?
The stat with the house is your base score the higher the score the more people will join. Base score is based on the amount and quality of things in your base. I havent balanced it yet though. Stone and metal buildings are worrh more then wood. Most of everything else is worth 1 (but will change later). Now the max npc population is 8 I probably need to adjust the rate on which people arrive. If you build it they will come.
