Overview

Renewable energy from wind. Its power output is a function of nearby obstructions, altitude, and the planet's air density. Must be stationary to function.

Usage

This block is an alternative energy generator when direct sunlight is not available but an atmosphere is.Using this instead of a solar panel you have a much larger range of power output(not to mention greater).

Tips

  • Landing gear locked to terrain also count for the stationary requirement.
  • Place this above the structure so that there are less obstructions.
  • Wind Turbines output more power under certain weather conditions.
