Mechanical power can be used to mechanize some simple machines. Currently, wind power | Mechanical power can be used to mechanize some simple machines. Currently, wind power can be used to automate [[quern]]s for milling, [[helve hammer]]s to work iron blooms and form ingots or smith metal plates, as well as [[pulverizer]]s to smash materials into their powdered form. Of the above mentioned, only the quern can be used independently without mechanical power, the other machines require a power source like the windmill to function. | ||
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 below sealevel is reduced 50% at 4 blocks below and 66% at 8 blocks below, rapidly decreasing towards 100% reduction. | 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.
