Wind energy / Windmill

This mod adds an alternate way to produce renewable energy on planets, windmills.

Windmills will produce energy only on planets, but in contrast to solar panels without the need of the sun.
Two conditions must be fulfilled to maximize the output of a windmill, at first the correct height must be chosen and secondly each additional windmill in close proximity to another windmill will reduce the productivity of both.

Large Windmill
Size: 3x2x3
Minimum output: 0 kW
Maximum output: Based on planet and grid speed
Diminishing return radius: 100m
Only produces energy while moving

Small Windmill
Size 3x2x3
Minimum output: 0 km
Maximum output: Based on planet and grid speed
Diminishing return radius: 20m
Only produces energy while moving

Dynamo
Size 1x2x1
Minimum output: 0 kw
Maximum output: ??? MW (with large rotor)
Default output: ~750 kW (Based on atmospheric desity and height)
Diminishing return radius: 150m

All important informations are visible in the dynamo block info (see pictures).

Small rotor connector
Power multiplier: 1x

Medium rotor connector
Power multiplier: 1,5x

Large rotor connector
Power multiplier: 2x


Every Dynamo in a 150m radius of another dynamo will reduce the power output of both dynamos based on the distance to each other.
The lost output is a linear reduction based on the direct distance and no longer a flat 30% reduction like in earlier versions.
By placing a dynamo in a 130m distance to another dynamo both dynamos will loose ~13% output. Placing them next to each other will come at a cost of ~99% output loss.


The optimal height for a dynamo is 80m above ground and will provide a 20% bonus in power output.
This bonus is applied before diminishing return reduction.

All dynamo relevant informations like diminishing return reduction, height, maximum output, etc. are displayed in the block-info tab of the dynamo block.


The dynamo is the base of a windmill to generate power with it, place a rotor connector on the front side of the dynamo, a larger rotor will produce more power.
Dynamo based windmills have a own diminishing return radius and also produce energy based on the atmospheric density.
