 Wind generators produce [[Energy]] based on global wind '''strength''' and local wind '''range'''.
 * Wind '''range''' is based on altitude. Higher altitudes increase the minimum but not the maximum number. This means that wind generators on hills and mountains have a minimum range higher than 0. If you don't want to spend too much time figuring out whether or not to build wind generators, a simple rule could be: Make sure the minimum wind strength in the placement tooltip is close to or above 1.
 * Wind '''strength''' is a number that randomly goes up and down over time. The minimum means the lowest range number on each wind generator is used, the maximum means they produce a full 2.5 Energy.
