A windmill is a multi-block structure used to harness wind and transform it into mechanical power. Currently, wind power can be used to automate {{ll|Quern|querns}}, {{ll|Helve hammer |helve hammers}}, and {{ll|Pulverizer|pulverizers}}. Out of these, only the quern can be used manually, without any need for mechanical power. | |||

===Clearance=== | ===Clearance=== | ||
A structure with sufficient height and clearance is needed to accommodate the sails, the power train, and associated equipment e.g. quern, helve hammer, etc. Sails too low to the ground may not receive enough wind speed to generate any wind power, likewise, a structure with insufficient clearance might deter the sails from rotating correctly. A windmill can be added onto existing structures as long as it meets the previously mentioned qualifications. | A structure with sufficient height and clearance is needed to accommodate the sails, the power train, and associated equipment e.g. quern, helve hammer, etc. Sails too low to the ground may not receive enough wind speed to generate any wind power, likewise, a structure with insufficient clearance might deter the sails from rotating correctly.

===Height and Location=== | ===Height and Location=== | ||
The location and height of the structure can also affect the amount of power generated. On a technical level, wind speed 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 your world's sea level + 10. So if you have a standard world of 256 height, your sea level will be 110. At Y-level 121, you will get 1% additional wind speed. The maximum bonus is 50%. | The location and height of the structure can also affect the amount of power generated.

Conversely, wind speeds below sea level are reduced 50% at 4 blocks below and 66% at 8 blocks below, rapidly decreasing towards 100% reduction. Note that wind speeds will naturally vary at times and there may be no wind at all at other times. | Conversely, wind speeds below sea level are reduced 50% at 4 blocks below and 66% at 8 blocks below, rapidly decreasing towards 100% reduction.
