<div style="font-family: Segoe UI, Inter, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"><hr> <p style="font-size: 1.5em;"><br>Overview</p> <p>Millwright expands Vintage Story's mechanical power system with <strong>reinforced rotors</strong>, a variety of <strong>improved sails</strong>, and <strong>vertical axis windmills</strong>.</p> <p>Build reinforced rotors with iron plates, then craft improved sails to attach to them in order to power your mechanical network more effectively.&nbsp;&nbsp;The new sails are more than 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.</p> <p><br>Any sail (plus a knife) in the crafting grid will let you recover your linen in order to build different sail types more easily.</p> <p><br>Pro-tip: search for <strong>rotor</strong> and <strong>sail</strong> in the handbook.<br><br><br></p> <hr> <p style="font-size: 1.5em;"><br>Windmill and Sail Types</p> <p>Build <strong>Centered</strong>, <strong>Angled</strong>, or <strong>Wide</strong> sails to suit your preferred aesthetic, each providing the same improved performance.</p> <p>Several windmill types can have <strong>more than 5 sets of sails:</strong></p> <ul> <li>8 blades = 5 sets of sails max</li> <li>6 blades = 6 sets of sails max</li> <li>4 blades = 7 sets of sails max</li> <li>3 blades = 8 sets of sails max<br><br><br></li> </ul> <hr> <p style="font-size: 1.5em;"><br>Vertical Axis Windmills</p> <p>But wait, there's more! You can build a <strong>Three Sail Vertical Axis Windmill Rotor</strong> and then attach 1-8 <strong>Sail Assemblies (for vertical axis windmills)</strong>.</p> <p>There's an example in the screenshot section above, and many more sail assembly types via Nanotect's add-on mod (see below).<br><br><br></p> <hr> <p style="font-size: 1.5em;"><br>Mechanical Components</p> <p><strong>Improved passthrough axles</strong> transfer power through walls and ceilings while maintaining room integrity.</p> <p>They're not perfect yet, but should function without power loss and take up much less space.</p> <p><strong>Reinforced brakes</strong> can actually (possibly) stop these high-octane windmills!<br><br><br></p> <hr> <p style="font-size: 1.5em;"><br>Mod Configuration</p> <p>If you want to customize this mod, see <em>%appdata%/VintagestoryData/ModConfig/millwright.json</em></p> <p><em>AllowSailDeconstruction</em> - set it to false to prevent recovering linen from sails in the crafting grid - default = true<br><em>BrakeResistanceModifier</em> - the braking modifier for reinforced brakes - default = 2.0<br><em>SailCenteredModifier</em> - the output power modifier for the improved "centered" sails<br><em>SailAngledModifier</em> - the output power modifier for the improved "angled" sails<br><em>SailWideModifier</em> - the output power modifier for the improved "wide" sails<br><em>SailRotationModifier</em> - the rotation speed of the new rotors/sails. 1.0 = 100%, 0.5 = 50%, etc. Cosmetic only<br><br></p> <p><strong>Optional Configuration Methods</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/imm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Integrated Mod Manager (IMM)</a></li> <li><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/configkit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Config Kit</a></li> <li>The Config That Shall Not Be Named (<a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/configlib" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1</a>)(<a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/imgui" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2</a>)<br><br></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <hr> <p style="font-size: 1.5em;"><br>Add-Ons</p> <p>Need more vertical windmill types?
