Farm Wind Pump

Description
Requested asset from /r/citiesskylinesmodding

I've been told these things are used for pumping water - not generating power - but that's fine. This is more for gameplay than lore-friendliness.

Small wind turbine that generates between 0-3 MW of power. Costs 2000. Noise values are about half of what you'd get from the vanilla wind turbine asset - and it's about one fifth of its size. Hopefully good for your custom farms. At least that was the intent of the request.

Model Stats:
Main model - 938 tris, 1024 textures
lod - 100 tris, 128 textures.

Folks, let me know if this one goes screwy on you. It took me a while to get the pivot right so the turbine animated correctly. I think I have it now - but I've only tested it enough to say I've watched it for a few minutes.

If you want to have a look at the guts of the asset - maybe do a retexture, here are the source files[drive.google.com]. Gotta say though, I'm really happy with the textures on this one.

Enjoy!

Do one that acts like a mini water tower please

Thanks!

How much time I've lost because I didn't pay enough attention! ;)

I'll let you know of the result.

@jlcarneiro - Yeah this was a request from Reddit. He wanted one that did electricity.

All of the original texture files and fbx models, including the lod, are available on this page just above the comments there. There's a link to the source files ^^.

If you plan to make this into a water structure, you may wish to import from a Steam template, either a tower or pump. For some reason the game has trouble adding the pipe base to the .crp file on the first import of a vanilla template.

You may also need to redo the vertex colours to get the rotation to work correctly on a template other than the wind turbine.

Good luck!

Great model, thanks!

Unfortunately, wind pumps don't generate electricity, they pump water without it. ;)

I tried to edit it (following this tutorial: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=471221886 ) to set properties similar to another wind pump that works correctly but doesn't have such a great 3D model (Wind Pump by Franks - https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=795481356 ) but I failed miserably... :(

Can you change it, please? Or, at least, provide me with the fdx model? I'd give the credits, of course!

I'm currently using this asset along with vanilla water tower while I can't solve the problem...

@TheKillerChicken I had thought of that - and was actually going to make a cistern model as a sub building. Then my computer stopped turning on - so I'm out of the game for a bit. But yes it should be.

If you want to go for it, I'd load the pump into the asset editor then grab the small water tower and use it as a sub building - or some other workshop asset that functions similarly. I think since both don't require a road connection you'd wind up with that combo but with a slightly larger circular footprint. Haven't tested it though.

I was also trying to think of a small sewage disposal asset that would work with it - I could only come up with a cesspool. I thought septic tank - but they get drained every now and again - and adding that functionality is beyond my capabilities.

It is possible to use one of these with a "ghost" model as a sub building water pump in the asset editor, or use it for power and water pumping. Set the pump as a ground water pump.
