Kinetic Water Generators....

So i have this neat little river next to my house in our SMP 1.10.2 server.....

Having great fun playing with the kinetic wind generators... love the improvement over the old setups.

So i thought i would try out the kinetic water generator. I have placed them in the river biome and tried putting a wooden rotor into the device but it will not accept it....

is there something I am missing?

Ok so its Iron and above?

Thanks for the explanation..... time to roll some plates

I have been chewing on this a little...

I understand the decisions to limit the water mills and kinetic water generators for balance.

i was thinking though....

Since wind generators setups put out medium voltage why not switch the water generators to only put out LV?

paddle wheels were some of the earliest forms of energy used to provide power for saw mills and early industrial tech.

would make a neat multi block structure....

just a thought....

love this mod, thanks to the devs and all those involved.
