Hey guys!
I've been searching the hub for a mod like this but couldn't find anything, and since my modding skills are very limited, I'm throwing this idea out here and hoping it resonates with some more talented modder than me.
Mod idea:
Windmill generator of different sizes (scale model of the original windmill generator) and with different power generation.
For example:
The full-size windmill, as in the vanilla game, as a large generator that produces 12 power
a medium size windmill, scaled down to 50% of it's original size and model, which produces 6 power
a small windmill, reduced to 25% of its original size and model, which produces 3 power
The idea is simply that the large windmill should power a small settlement of 6 to 8 settlers, the medium windmill provides power for 3 to 5 settlers, and the small windmill can be a kind of balcony power station that powers a single house/shack for 1 or 2 settlers.
I like the aesthetics of the windmill, but it's way too big for many settlements and doesn't provide enough power for its size and material investment. I use Place Anywhere for settlement building and can manually scale down the original windmill and it looks amazing as a smaller model. Imagine a small house where a couple lives, with an attachment on the outside of the house on which the windmill generator, with the size of a machinegun turret, sits and powers the house.
It would be great to have a mod like this.
