<p>Jesus: /* Windmill Tower */</p> <hr /> <div>A '''windmill''' is a [[machine component]] that provides [[power]] via wind on the surface of a fortress map. Currently, the Windmill provides 40 units of power (sometimes less) and requires 4 pieces of wood. Multiple windmills increase the power. <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> * The &quot;Windmill Tower&quot; option below is currently the most optimal in terms of power efficiency. <br /> <br /> == Getting Power Out Of A Windmill ==<br /> <br /> To get some useful power out of a windmill:<br /> # Place the windmill<br /> # Excavate a path under it to the center of its base. (1 z-level down)<br /> # Add either a vertical [[axle]], [[gear assembly]] or machine there, which will have power.<br /> <br /> == Getting Power Back To The Surface ==<br /> <br /> # Build a windmill at level 0 (L-0). <br /> # 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. <br /> # Place a horizontal [[axle]] (HA1) next to GA1. <br /> # then build GA2 next to HA1. It should look like *=*. (GA1-HA1-GA2), All of these should have power. <br /> # Back on the ground level, build a 1x1 channel above GA2. <br /> # Place GA3 on the channel, so that it sits directly on top of GA2. <br /> # GA3 is now on the surface level, and you can use horizontal axles to transmit power in the regular directions across the surface.<br /> <br /> == Windmill Tower ==<br /> <br /> If you can't dig below your windmill (if, for example, there is a room or river underground there), you can try this method<br /> <br /> # Build a 3x3 plaform out of floors one level above the ground floor. <br /> # Then build your windmill on that. <br /> # Directly beneath the windmill, on the ground floor, build a gear assembly. <br /> # Connect this assembly to horizontal axles, and power your machines. No digging required!<br /> ''You can also build your windmill directly on top of a gear assembly, obviating the need for a platform, although some consider this to be something of an exploit.''<br /> [[Category:Constructions]]<br /> [[Category:Machine Components]]</div>
