How to Generate Rotational Power from Wind Weather

Connecting to Active Weather Systems

The mod automatically detects whether Weather2 or ProtoManly’s Weather is running in your world. Once an active weather simulation is detected, environmental wind physics can be transformed directly into rotational force for your kinetic networks.

Building a Wind-Aligned Turbine

To capture wind efficiently from changing directions, set up a turbine using contraption-on-contraption mechanics:

1. Assemble your base support connected to your main kinetic machine network.

2. Mount a secondary rotating assembly that allows the turbine head to swivel freely and align with incoming wind.

3. Attach your rotor blades to the turbine assembly.

4. When wind blows, the turbine converts the simulated wind energy into rotational kinetic force.

5. Inspect the setup to review kinetic stats, which display your current RPM alongside measured wind speed to confirm your machine network is receiving power.
