Looking for more info on power connections.
1) Would placing multiple transformers at one factory be wise? even if you have multiple power plants?
2) Would placing a transformer at a power plant from a power plant be beneficial?
3) Is there a limit on the number of transformers/factorys that a power plant can supply?

A transformer at a power plant will always transfer power to the net. YOu can join several plants in a net to distribute the power more evenly. More than one transformer will only help if those are from different nets; but then you could just join the nets.

How many factories a power plant can supply depends on its production. A production 100 power plant can supply a 300 production factory (or 6 50 production factories ... )

In addition, multiple transformers at one factory have no benefit.
