Line 7:
Most multiblocks can be mirrored or rotated to facilitate wallsharing. Exceptions include the [[Charcoal Pile Igniter]], [[Bricked Blast Furnace]], [[Distillation Tower]], [[Ore Drilling Plant]]s and [[Void Miner]]s, [[Industrial Washing Plant]], [[Algae Farm]], [[Bacterial Vat]], [[Deep Earth Heating Pump]] and [[Mega Blast Furnace]], which only have horizontal wallsharing potential.
Care should be taken when choosing which blocks to wallshare. Energy Hatches are very difficult to share and at most can be used by two controllers since each only accepts 2A. Doing so with recipes that take close to or exactly 2A is risky as a single [[Maintenance]] issue will cause the sharing multis to void and shut down. It's much safer to share Energy Hatches when the total recipe cost is 1A or less, since that affords some slack to address any repairs without loss. Standard Maintenance Hatches should not be wallshared; they ''can'' but will only repair one multiblock, so each Controller needs its own. A [[LuV]] [[tier]] Auto Maintenance Hatch can be shared between multiblocks and will use items to repair any it's a part of. The [[UV]] tier Auto-Taping Maintenance Hatch cannot be shared. Mufflers can be shared, potentially even with mirrored multis provided that the Muffler has an air block in front of it.
Multiblock machines from other mods cannot wallshare. Many will not even form with another multi of their type adjacent, such as [[Coke Oven]]s and [[Water Tank]]s.
