What is the range of the power providers?

Do they have to be placed every so often along a rail line? Or do they power the entire rail line? (I think the former would be more interesting, but that's just my opinion.)

Similarly do disconnected rail networks need separate power providers? It seems like they should.

Thanks. I love the idea of this mod.

The power providers have no range limitation. You can place them centrally in the base or elsewhere. You do not need providers for different networks. Each power provider can provide the trains with 2MW.

I don't particularly like this. This is the sole reason I won't use the mod, because there is no balance to it. Just drop a few providers and electric trains everywhere work forever.

It is my belief that trains should require storing the energy directly on the locomotive its self.

What your mod currently does though, I just don't like it, feels cheaty.

@author: you could use "powered rails" like the bio industry does and let e-trains just drive on them. on normal rails they would use up fuel like normal trains.
further: each powered rail has to be connected to a power provider via other rails.
