That's cool
That's how I always thought IC² windmills should be, even though I do not like the "compacting" concept. I'm not against LV, MV, HV, but I'd just like the craft not to be based on "more windmills". I mean, it's not much more interesting than just putting tons of windmills. I'd love it if it was "each tier take even more space and its ratio (EU/t)/blocks without obstructions needed for it to work properly is lower than the previous one, but its ratio (EU/t)/price is higher".
Anyway, that's my mindset, I understand so many guys like the "compact"-thingy.

I did not completely understand what you mean.

Quote from SpwnX

They will look good, when the textures load properly.
You could make the Higher Tier Windmills have bigger blades.

That's at least how I want it to work in the end.
I'm pretty sure i'll get it done.
What's already working:
The texture it tries to load is different for the rotors in there and it won't do anything, if there's no rotor in the windmill.

Quote from SpwnX

Rotors with missing textures!

Yeah. I'm not yet that far with them. I mean they are there and spinning. And that's it.
Still having some problems with the textures not loading properly.

What could that be...

Quote from SpwnX

Making a windmill reach 5 EU/t production requires good winds.
10 Eu/t requires either max wind or high wind with thunderstorm, which are uncommon/rare.

Windmills average generation, with SAFE setup (No breaking due overproduction, which happens after 5 EU/t) is 1.66 EU/t.
Math done by me (with source from snyke).
Ofc you can place them at maximum height, but you will suffer with constant windmill breakage which is definetely not

Ok, then that WOULD be a reason to change the recipe again.
The problem was, I thought, that i thought.

Quote from Quintine

Just found a bug, with useIC2Stuff set to true there is no way to get ULV windmills the crafting recipe that should be for them outputs a LV instead.

That's intended, because of balance.
A normal ic2 Windmill creates 5 - 10 EU/t with max. efficiency. In useIC2Stuff I want it to be as similar as possible, so the ULV recipe wouldn't make any sense. That's why it skips the ULV stage.

Quote from killer380

So wait... is there a way to turn off using rotors? because I really just wanted to use the mod as you would use compact solars. I read through the comments and Im still confused on if the config has that option. Can someone please fill me in?

Yes, you can turn the requirement for rotors of.
Go to the Config file ant turn "useIC2Stuff" from false to true, then it no longer requires rotors. It also changes some more stuff to make it more similar to the vanilla IC2 ones.

Quote from GregoriusT

Maybe you should change the Source Name of the Windmills, so taht you dont override the Localization of Solars.

Ok, it should work now.

I found another way

Quote from yakushin

last version work 1.5.1

Nope

Quote from Quintine

I noticed now with your compact windmills installed and compact solars, my compact solars are now called windmills

Yes, I know.
Sometime it works properly, sometime it doesn't.
I don't really know yet, what causes the problem.

Quote from Kenken244

How about compact nuclear reactors?

Lol
Simply, no!

Quote from Epic Lulz

I just realized, somebody needs to do CompactWatermills soon. No CompactGeothermals as there would be overabundance of holes in the Nether.

Yeah I'll do that.
Repo already created.

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.

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.

Display More

I'll think about something.

Quote from chaoschamp

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

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.

Ok, fixed.
Also:
New version.

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.

Quote from SpwnX

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.

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