2 Technically, wind generators are always better than solars. 2 Technically, wind generators are always better than solars.
3 Two wind generator on the lowest possible elevation should on average produce 2.5 energy per second which is better than a solar collector. 3 Two wind generator on the lowest possible elevation should on average produce 2.5 energy per second which is better than a solar collector.

5 [quote]Either make the value constant or some sort of straightforward relative height thing that makes logical sense.[/quote]Every time you place a wind generator, you see the minimal and maximum output of the wind generator. The average output of the wind generator is right between the lowest and highest output. 5 [quote]Either make the value constant or some sort of straightforward relative height thing that makes logical sense.[/quote]Every time you place a wind generator, you see the minimal and maximum output of the wind generator.

6 If it says 0-2.5 it will on average produce 1.25 energy per second. If it says 1-2.5 it will produce 1.75 per second on average. If it says 2-2.5 it will produce 2.25 per second on average. If it says 2.5-2.5 it will always produce 2.5 energy per second. 6 If it says 0-2.5 it will on average produce 1.25 energy per second. If it says 1-2.5 it will produce 1.75 per second on average.

8 [quote]having average income on some maps of 2+ instead of 1.25 per wind generator doesn't "break" the game, but it makes the experience worse. 8 [quote]having average income on some maps of 2+ instead of 1.25 per wind generator doesn't "break" the game, but it makes the experience worse.

10 It also incentivizes some annoying rushes to cripple the opponents' E income early, which only some factories are good at, namely ones that produce blastwings (!!1).[/quote]On the contrary, a cheaper source of energy means sniping energy is less useful and less critical to the enemy operations. 10 It also incentivizes some annoying rushes to cripple the opponents' E income early, which only some factories are good at, namely ones that produce blastwings (!!1).[/quote]On the contrary, a cheaper source of energy means sniping energy is less useful and less critical to the enemy operations.
11 If you fear blastwings, you can just spread out the wind generators at start of the game so you don't lose more than 1 or 2. That way, Blastwings will hardly make cost by destroying wind generators. 11 If you fear blastwings, you can just spread out the wind generators at start of the game so you don't lose more than 1 or 2.

13 Their income is variable( this makes 0-2. 5 wing generators bad at the start of the game as your whole energy income could just vanish due to RnG. Later in the game, you can make Fusion Reactors for higher costefficiency anyway. I wouldn't recommend making wind generators in a 1v1 unless they are above 0. 5-2. 5 which at least always provides a decent income) . 13 Their income is variable( this makes 0-2. 5 wind generators bad at the start of the game as your whole energy income could just vanish due to RnG.
