[ADDON] [1.7.2] CompactWindmills

Quote from SpwnX

GregTech itself already nerfes the Windmill recipe in particular, base of compact windmills.
Same thing happens with compact solars, as the solar panel recipe is now more expensive.

Compact windmills and Compact solars are not meant to be "expensive", just a way to reduce lagness of tons of generators.

May i suggest adding tiers to rotors?
For example tier 1 rotor (ultra low voltage) requires 2 material items,T2 requires 4, T3 requires 8, tier 4 16 and tier 5 32.
[Achieved by combining two of previous tier to make the next one]
Rotor durability increase 20% base per tier. T1 2 days, T2 2d + 9,6h , T3 2d + 19,2h , T4 3d + 4,8h, T5 4days

Edit: Your wind generation code is "failing", i can generate 170 EU/t near bedrock using a EV windmill and a rotor while it has 9000+ obstructions around.

To make it more precise, please DO use IC² wind formula as base :
Generation = WindStrength * (Height - 64 - Obstruction blocks) / 750 * Weather Value
Wind Strength values from 0 to 30,
Obstruction block is any block within the detection area, you may exclude cables from this calculation somehow,
Weather value is 1,2 if raining and 1,5 if rain + thunderstorm.

ULV windmills, which are 4 windmills would generate 4 times a normal windmill would do.
LV windmills, would generate 16 times a normal windmill would do.
MV windmills, 64 times.
HV, 256x
EV, 1024x

I will add a config option for the EU/t output formula, which one is used.

Where did download the 1.4.7?

There is no 1.4.7 version.

Iridium Plate rotors that last forever please? Useable only on last two higher tiers as it is heavy.

Ok, I added some stuff.

Version 1.0.1.0.b3

Changelog:
Added iridium rotor.
Changed some stuff in the code.
Fixed some bugs.

Thaumium Rotor? Repairs itself with vis. So basically vis --> EU, or Magic Energy Absorber (GregTech) redux.

Requires either Charging or Repair Enchanted Book to make.

Are there Aluminium ones too? That would be logical and useful.

Well.
No Thaumium rotors.
And no aluminium rotors yet.

OK.
Kinda done.
I need to put more work into it, but kinda done.

float totalEfficiency = (y - 64 - (totalBlocks - airBlocks)) / totalBlocks * weather;

This means the bigger the area it checks for blocks (aka higher "voltage" windmills), lower its efficiency. Is it intended?
You should use IC² wind variation in the formula too so its power output fluctuates as a real windmill does.

I haven't tested it yet. I just pushed that build to see how it goes.
But "*in theory*" it should work. However, I'll take a look.
EDIT: Fixed it.
And no, i don't want to have it flacturate.

Ok, fixed.
Also:
New version.

titanium rotor - light but strong and durable

Yeah, more rotors coming in future.
However, I still don't know, if I'll add GregTech-related-stuff.

Quote from SpwnX

Just a thing, as your windmills wont probably ever break due overproducing :
Make the higher tiers more expensive.

Tier 1, requires LV trans as it is.
Tier 2, requiers MV trans
Tier 3, requires HV trans
Tier 4, requires 1 iridium plate and 4 UUM.
Tier 5, requiers 5 iridium plates.

I'll think about something.

Quote from chaoschamp

you could make the windmills multiblock sutures

Yeah, I think I'll do that, but that'll take a while, because I never made a multiblock.
