Frozen windmill?!
« on: December 31, 2007, 07:51:00 am »

I just set up a windmill / millstone / gearbox assembly on my glacial map and it seems that if it's cold enough the windmill just won't go.  Is there any way to make wind power work on a freezing map?

There's probably just no wind.

No, it says Power=40, but "q" on the windmill says "Frozen here" and "q" on any part of the gear and azle assembly says "Frozen elsewhere."

It'll never work on your map, too cold.

That's too bad.  Guess I'll just have to stick with the seven quern assembly line.
