Output
Section titled “Output”Same wind scaling as Wind Driven Generator, with a higher energy conversion factor. Higher wind and Wind Physics still raise UE/s; Wind Physics adds a 50% output bonus.
Placement
Section titled “Placement”- One MK2 + Thermal Battery runs low-draw automation
- Pair with Hydroelectric MK2 for zero-fuel wind + water
- With Wind Physics on, up to 16.2 UE/s passive; strongest hands-off source in the mod
