May be "Flume" would be a better wording, but in context of watherwheel i found "Penstock". Sorry dude. Edited December 29, 2020 by Rhonen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabmoro Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Oh! I wasnt familiar with the term before now, actually, I had thought it was something related to animal care! Like an animal pen, or stockyard or something. But now I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonen Posted January 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 makes no sense, may be the engine for snow detects, that a block-pos upside the snow is set by the lantern - and prevent the melting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DArkHekRoMaNT Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 How many kW does your wheel generate? 100, how is the windmill? It would be nice to point this out in the block help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonen Posted January 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) The MP Network has no kW output information. it has only speed and torque. so, no sure what kind of information you mean. if you mean output of speed, i can do that instead of the efficency, but would not provide more information. But as a hint, the efficency is a cumulative information of speed 1.0 - speed is shown on the windmill-rotor.

Twice as much? Twice smaller? Just write the corresponding kW so that it can be understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33tmaan Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 I guess a good question would be: At what height does it become more efficient to use a 20-sail fully ready windmill instead of your most powerful waterwheel? Because windmill parts are a lot easier to get than waterwheel ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the easier way to get argument: Sure, it must be easier to get. but it depends on wind-speed. The waterwheel is more or less a permant energy source. It will get a healthpoint emitter, so you must repair it in future. no it will not get destroyed, will only stop working then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to compare a water wheel to a windmill now. i understand your point. but there is no real power output info on the windmill. Quote sb.AppendLine(string.Format(Lang.Get("Wind speed: {0}%", (int)(100.0 * windSpeed)))); sb.AppendLine(Lang.Get("Sails power output: {0} kN", (int)((float)sailLength / 5f * 100f))); That is the power info of the Windmill-Rotor. It's not telling about the speed output to the MP-Network. so what would be a corresponding power for you? Speed 0.85? it would be only a fake information, so efficency is more or less same info.if you have an idea for meaningful information, let me know. i have no idea how to compare that windmill-rotor power info with a waterwheel power. 2 hours ago, DArkHekRoMaNT said: Are you using other wood texture? yes Edited January 15, 2021 by Rhonen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawsbrake Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) On 3.3.3, I cannot get over 45% efficient on breastshot, even in a creative test world. Is this intentional or am I doing something wrong? Update: Sorry, my misunderstanding! I read the guide in-game and I see those are the set values for efficiency. I was confused because in your videos I saw them at 60% for breastshot. 45% is very low, it is hardly worth it to get this as it will run a helvehammer sooooo slow at that speed. And I see with the steel that you have to put into it now (ouch) you can't reach 100% even utilizing overshot with flumes and steel hatch. Then we are going to have to upkeep it or it will die? With the cost in iron+steel+maintenance, lack of power, inability to reach 100%, how is this ever better than a 20-sail setup? I request please either make it more powerful or cheaper or no maintenance. Edited January 17, 2021 by pawsbrake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test it with a windmill to get compareable data. The MaxStrength of 30, 45 and 85 percent are the result of gathering real waterwheel informations and testing / balancing. So you can combine multiple waterwheels, or try a complex transmission. 6 hours ago, pawsbrake said: I request please either make it more powerful or cheaper or no maintenance. if you want change the default setting, edit the config files, as noted in handbook and in the topic's notes of 3.3.1 /VintagestoryData/ModConfig/medievalexpsion/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonen Posted January 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) @DArkHekRoMaNT by watching again and again, i guess you can compare the Percentage identically to the kiloNewton of the Windwill-Rotor. With one point difference: The Windmill-rotor is always showing the information, ignoring the speed. so, the 85% efficency is ingame the same value like 85kN on the Windmill. not exactly, but close.
