-:::: I don't know whether or not it's a lack of wind, but all the windmills on my current map (hot, tropical jungle) are "inactive" by default, with no power being generated. I don't know if this is a bug or there's zero wind on the map. It doesn't sound right that whatever biome wouldn't have... at least 1 wind, or what have you. >_> --[[User:Bronzebeard|Bronzebeard]] 02:42, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

	Potentially another issue for "When it works" although it is unlikely that many players experience it: if a floor is constructed 1 z-level above the middle of a windmill, the windmill is rendered inactive and produces no power (from my experience, version 40d). Floors above the other 8 tiles of the windmill don't seem to affect the windmill's function. --[[User:Frond\|Frond]] 03:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)		Potentially another issue for "When it works" although it is unlikely that many players experience it: if a floor is constructed 1 z-level above the middle of a windmill, the windmill is rendered inactive and produces no power (from my experience, version 40d).

 Perhaps a picture like in the well article would be helpful? I would make one myself but I don't understand exactly how a windmill is supposed to be placed. [[User:Ar-Pharazon|Ar-Pharazon]] 17:45, 17 February 2009 (EST)
-:Ok, in the following rough diagram, O is a gear on the level below that depicted, G is definitely necessary ground/floor, X i probably necessary ground/floor.
