📋 About This Mod
Barely Tested due to lack of time, you've been warned!
Adding new power class and block for a modern windmill that
produces energy day and night by wind power. Although wind
is unpredictable, it still runs at around 50% capacity most
of the time. Highly advised to be used with a battery bank.
This mod is not EAC compatible, so you need to turn EAC off!
Otherwise it should work on linux and also via vortex mod manager.
Should also work for multiplayer, but hasn't been tested that well yet.
First A21 release, not yet tested very well!

Wind speed is not linked to biome weather (yet), as I didn't see any
way to get local weather per x/z position, specially if running as a
dedicated server. For now the wind speed and direction is interpolated
via perlin noise, which should be good enough. But it can mean that in
edge cases your biome weather is extremely windy but the windmills are
running very slowly. At least we also simulate a generic wind direction,
which is IMO something the original game hasn't yet included.
