  1. Hi, Rhonen. Thank you for this mod. I really like it. EDIT - I solved my problem myself in the end. I would like to be able to switch from wind power, to the water wheel, when the wind drops. But I can't think of any way to do that with the mechanical parts we have. Other than having two machines, one connected to a windmill and one to the water wheel. Would you ever consider "inventing" some kind of device which has two axle inputs, and one output. Which allows the player to select which input axle powers the output axle? EDIT - Once I had thought about it for a bit. I realised you can do what I asked for with the vanilla parts. Just connect the windmill and the water wheel to a large gear, via clutches. Then have the one output axle connected to that same large gear. This allows you to turn off the power source you don't want to use currently. Not even sure if you really need the clutches, I was just not sure how it would affect things if the windmill was not powered but connected to the large gear, and the water wheel was turning and connected to the same large gear. Would the water wheel be effectively powering the windmills sails and using some it's power to turn them? And vice versa when using the windmill's power, but the water wheel is not running. Not sure. Anyway I would still like a more compact device, like the one I described. That would be nice.
