=== Building the Windmill ===
=== Building the Windmill ===
The windmill requires at least 5 blocks of vertical space between the rotor and the ground or any other solid block to accommodate a full complement of sails.  
The windmill requires at least 5 blocks of vertical space between the rotor and the ground or any other solid block to accommodate a full complement of sails. The internal system construction (from the rotor to the machine) can vary depending on space, practical considerations and player ingenuity. Power trains are constructed using assemblies of axles and gears. General rules for trains with specific machines will be provided below, but longer trains lose power.  
* '''Rotor''': The rotor should be placed on a tower or the side of a tall building. When building, it may be simpler to place the first axle on the top of the block and attach the rotor to the placed axle. This placement will suspend the rotor empty blocks ''outside'' the building. This space is required to attach the sails. 
* '''Sails''': Sails are added to the rotor in sets of four (one for each windmill blade). Each set of sails will increase the power output by 25% and require one full block clearance (per set). If the sails do not have space to move freely, they will break. Axles or angled gears can be attached to the opposite side of the windmill rotor.
* '''Power Train''': The internal system construction (from the rotor to the machine) can vary depending on space, practical considerations and player ingenuity. Power trains are constructed using assemblies of axles and gears. General rules for trains with specific machines will be provided below, but longer trains lose power.  


* '''Wooden Axles''' are used to transmit power in a straight line. These may be placed vertically or horizontally in any of the cardinal directions.
One important point to know is that trains must be assembled in order. That is, blocks must be placed in a continuous fashion from start to finish. When the gears and axles are turning, all is well. If the assembled train does not accomplish the intended goal, break the gears and axles, and reassemble the train from the rotor to the input block.
* '''Angled Gears''' are used to introduce a right angle turn in a train along any axis.
