 Wind generators (often ''windgens'', running together the words "wind" and "gen." for "generator") produce a variable amount of energy, depending on altitude and wind speed. They are extremely fragile and chain-explode when bunched, so consider their placement carefully. When placed in water, they become somewhat sturdier tidal generators with a constant output.

+Wind generators (often ''windgens'', running together the words "wind" and "gen." for "generator") produce a variable amount of energy, depending on altitude and wind speed. They are extremely fragile and chain-explode when bunched, so consider their placement carefully. When placed in water, they become somewhat sturdier tidal generators with a constant output.
 == Basic Mechanics ==
 Turbines placed in water become tidal generators, producing a constant +1.2 E/s.
-On land they become wind generators, generating a variable amount of energy which changes periodically. While the energy produced can rise and fall, the amount produced will be stable for around 30 seconds before the wind changes again. Wind Generators placed higher will always produce more than those placed lower.

Wind Generators placed higher will always produce more than those placed lower.
 The maximum is always +2.5 E/s, while the minimum starts at +0 E/s at the lowest point of the battlefield but increases with height, up to +2.5 E/s.

 The lowest and highest points are determined at game start and will not change later (due to terraform or explosions).
 The production at intermediate altitudes is given by linearly interpolating (or extrapolating) incomes at the highest and lowest points, though never more than 2.5 E/s.
