Burning it doesn't create more power than it took to electrolyze it. The priority system on electrolyzers and turbines allows them to be configured to function ...

Hi there,

I'm making a mod adding wind turbine entity. It uses "electric-energy-interface" type because wind turbine isn't supposeed to have any input or output slots in it, from the game's point of view it just generates electric energy out of nowhere.
It indeed generates electricity but it doesn't ...

... I'am making a Factorio mod, that adds some ecology stuff including wind turbines and air filtering entities and got some problems here:

As you can see on my screenshots, air purifier has "Consumes electricity" description segment, but wind turbine doesn't. How's that working and how may I fix ...

This is likely an automatic thing that is tagged on either for the entity type or anything that net generates power (without script).

There does exist a few other wind turbine mods already. You can check them out to see if they solved that issue or not and how.

... I'm making a mod bringing some ecology stuff in game and I got stuck on wind turbines. In-game entities that produce power have "Generates power" label and production bar in their description (screenshot 1). So I wanna make same thing with my wind turbine, but I didn't find the corresponding attribute ...

I have not yet figured out why a small-blade household turbine (a wind farm that is unlocked along with the "steel" technology) shows me either "no power" or "little power". What power are we talking about? About wind availability? If so, it looks like it changes too fast. Probably about once a second ...

The ... is at 50% capacity, half the energy of that measurement exchanger will wind up being fed to the sink. This can be mitigated by adding more turbines ...

... unexpected the refueling logic uses the amount of steam used in the turbine. With no steam available there is nothing to count. So your control ... is at 50% capacity, half the energy of that measurement exchanger will wind up being fed to the sink. This can be mitigated by adding more turbines ...

... Maybe that's what the recharge minimum field does? I'll look into it.

Wind Turbines are cheap and effective, but they need to be supplemented with energy storage. Surge electrolyzer -> hydrogen + oxygen -> combustion chamber -> backup turbine is the lowest tech battery option, available around the ...

... Surge stuff and accumulators are the same priority, the lowest. A new turbine will charge both. The old one charges neither. There is currently a priority turbine, but it's higher tech, and its the same priority as wind and solar, so it would be wasting fuel unnecessarily if used with solar ...

After Watching Minute Physics video on wind turbines, I get an itch.
Video: https://youtu.be/WGKIjojADmg

The mk04 is really nice though.


LOL i got that in my recommendations a few days ago ,
now we can analize the animation speed relative to turbine blade area

every wind turbine must have some kind of electric part do command, store and regulate them


i thought that part was out duty but it is VERY good that they are linearized from the beginning.
btw this might be a bit to in but:
will this type of power-plant need any additional energy storage ...

each heat exchanger feeds two turbines directly

That's nice for convenience and makes for nice builds, but the second turbine won't run fully ... 103 water/sec. One Offshore Pump can only supply 1200 water/sec, so you wind up being 36 water/sec short (1200 instead of 1236 water/sec).
