Need more vertical windmill types?  Be sure to check out Nanotect's very cool add-on!

Millwright VAWT Addon

Build reinforced rotors (with iron plates) and then craft improved sails to attach to them, in order to power your gear more effectively.

The new sails are twice as efficient as vanilla sails, and up to twice as many can be mounted to the proper reinforced rotor in order to achieve quadruple the output power or more. Pro-tip: search for "rotor" and "sail" in the handbook.

Any sail (plus a knife) in the crafting grid will let you can recover your linen in order to build different sail types more easily.

NEW in version 1.2.1.  Vertical axis windmills! There's an example in the screenshot section above.  Requires a Three sail vertical axis windmill rotor and then 1-8 Sail Assembly (for vertical axis windmills).

NEW in version 1.2.1.  Improved passthrough axles (which will eventually replace passthrough axles).  They're not perfect yet, but should function without power loss, and take up much less space.

NEW in version 1.1.6: Several of the windmill types can now have more than 5 sets of sails:

• 8 blades = 5 sets of sails max
• 6 blades = 6 sets of sails max
• 4 blades = 7 sets of sails max
• 3 blades = 8 sets of sails max
  
  

NEW in version 1.1.1 - Wide sails - They look a lot like vanilla sails, but are twice as wide for extra oomph! 

NEW in version 1.1.0 - Build two passthough axles and place them on either side of a solid block, to easily transfer power through walls and ceilings while still maintaining room integrity!

NEW in version 1.0.9: Build reinforced brakes to actually (possibly) stop these high-octane windmills!

If you want to customize this mod the old fashioned way, see %appdata%/VintagestoryData/ModConfig/millwright.json

    AllowSailDeconstruction - set it to false to prevent recovering linen from sails in the crafting grid - default = true
    BrakeResistanceModifier - the braking modifier for reinforced brakes - default = 2.0
    SailCenteredModifier - the output power modifier for the improved "centered" sails
    SailAngledModifier - the output power modifier for the improved "angled" sails
    SailWideModifier - the output power modifier for the improved "wide" sails
    SailRotationModifier - the rotation speed of the new rotors/sails. 1.0 = 100%, 0.5 = 50%, etc. Cosmetic only
