Wind Turbine

WorldObject

Uses wind to produce electrical power. Requires clear space for 10 blocks in front of the blades for full power generation. Gains a small output boost when placed at higher elevations.

Notes

The Wind Turbine is an advanced electric power source that requires unobstructed space for 10 blocks in front of its blades to reach full generation, with a small output bonus at higher elevations. As a clean energy option, it produces no pollution, making it a valuable asset for settlements trying to balance industrial progress against environmental damage. For best results, place the turbine on high ground with a clear path ahead, and note that its output depends on sunlight conditions like all solar and wind power systems.
