MA Stackable Wind Turbine

Description
Functionally identical to the vanilla wind turbine, but stackable! Includes a 15 meter long pole, and a light lantern.


The light lantern is to spread low-intensity light over a very large area.

Some info on how the turbines work:
They scan horizontally to verify no obstructions to a distance of 20. The more things this raycast detects, the worse the efficiency is. If it completely surrounded then considered blocked and efficiency drops to zero. They also check for clearance off the ground, "optimal" being 25.
Since they do not scan vertically for obstructions, stacking them vertically is novel and efficient.

Love your mod. I use a lot of them. You have a ETA for DLC version?

Now if only I could get my DLC disabler mod to work right. I can't figure it out. :/ Some items can't be disabled it seems. I just hope that modders like yourself, when they make DLC versions of mods, they make them as separate additions so that people can choose to opt out of DLC.

not a bad idea to make DLC version

Thank god for not touching the DLC. I'd hate to have to unsub when this mod required DLC.

On a side note, you can make DLC versions and then make your DLC cube blocks take that DLC by adding the same <DLC> tag to the cube blocks of the modified DLC items, then have the mod require a DLC to subscribe. I'd say make it a separate version though and keep the block groups separate too.

will there be a version of this mod with the new deco 3 dlc wind turbines?

Some planets have atmosphere but no oxygen.. It will work anywhere that the vanilla wind turbine works.

Are wind turbines only usable with oxygen levels above zero?
