− | + | The Windmill is a machine that provides power via wind on the surface of a fortress map. | |

− | + | Currently, the Windmill provides 40 units of power and requires 4 pieces of wood. | |
+ | Multiple windmills increase the power. | ||
− | + | == Getting Power Out Of A Windmill == | |
− | + | To get some useful power out of a windmill: | |
+ | # Place the mill | ||
+ | # Excavate a path under it to the center of its base. (1 z-level down) | ||
+ | # Add either a vertical [[axle]] or [[gear assembly]] there, which will have power. | ||
− | + | It is not presently possible to build the gear assembly or axle ''before'' building the windmill; build the windmill and then build the axle or gear assembly beneath it. You can of course still have the remainder of your machine built. | |

− | + | == Getting Power Back To The Surface == | |
− | + | # Build a windmill at level 0 (L-0). | |
− | + | # On the level beneath it, (L-1), place a [[gear assembly]] (GA1) below the center point, use {{K|q}} to verify that it has power. | |
− | + | # Place a horizontal [[axle]] (HA1) next to GA1. | |
− | + | # then build GA2 next to HA1. It should look like *=*. (GA1-HA1-GA2), All of these should have power. | |
− | + | # Back on the ground level, build a 1x1 channel above GA2. | |
− | + | # Place GA3 on the channel, so that it sits directly on top of GA2. | |
− | + | # GA3 is now on the surface level, and you can use horizontal axles to transmit power in the regular directions across the surface. | |
