Mechanical power can be used to mechanize some simple machines. Currently, wind power is used to automate [[quern]]s for milling and [[helve hammer]]s to work iron blooms and form ingots or smith metal plates. | Mechanical power can be used to mechanize some simple machines.

On a technical level, windspeed varies from region to region and is linearly interpolated between the 4 nearest weather regions, for a given block location. Windspeed will increase by 1% per block _above_ sea level. Conversely, wind speeds above sealevel is reduced 50% at 4 blocks _below_ sea level and 66% at 8 blocks below, rapidly decreasing towards 100% reduction. | |||
