Wind Power adds three wind turbines to Survival Log, a Small, a Medium and a Large. They keep making power after dark, so your base still has power at night once the solar panels stop, and the stronger the wind, the more they make. A turbine makes less than the solar panel of the same size though, since it runs day and night.
the Small has three blades and a tail on a pole, and turns itself to face the wind. The Medium is an upright rotor made of two half drums, so it catches wind from any side. The Large has three blades on a tall mast, and every so often a gust comes through and swings the whole top around. Each one has its own model and icon.
at the default settings Heavy Smog stops them completely, and Severe Cold is the windiest weather, where they average 9, 18 and 36. Every weather's numbers are in the table below.
the wind picks up and dies down over the hours, by up to 30% either way, and the turbines and their blades follow it. It averages out over a few days. The Variation setting controls how much it swings, and 0 turns it off.
the Medium and Large make 20% more on the 2F terrace than in the yard. The Small only fits the yard, since the terrace has no small spots.
each turbine goes in an outdoor furniture spot of its size, never indoors.
the Small and Medium recipes unlock with the Medium Solar Panel's, when [Main Quest] Assemble Solar Panels starts. The Large unlocks with the Lead-Acid Battery Pack's, at [Main Quest] Store the Electricity. If your save is already past those quests, you get the recipes when it loads.

the Small Wind Turbine Package takes 3 Scrap Metal, 1 Wire and 1 Electronic Components. The Medium takes 4 Scrap Metal, 2 Wire and 2 Electronic Components. The Large takes 5 Scrap Metal, 3 Wire, 3 Electronic Components and 1 Stainless Steel Plate. Taking one down gives you back about half.
before the disaster, the Classic Furniture shop sells 2 of each, the Small for 30, the Medium for 60 and the Large for 120.
dye them in any of the game's 8 colours like your other furniture, or pick a dye on the recipe card to craft one already coloured. Only the olive paint changes colour, the orange stripes and blades stay the same.
the weather box shows a Wind line, such as Moderate (35%/100%), and hovering over a turbine shows what it's making right now and how strong the wind is. 100% is full wind, and a gust can go past it.
you set each turbine's power, materials, what it gives back when taken down, shop price and shop stock, on the Mod Manager's Mods screen or in the config file. With Mod Manager 0.14.0 or newer you pick the materials from item cards, and the screen warns you if a turbine would give back more than its recipe costs.
the game saves each turbine as the solar panel of its size, so your save still loads without the mod. Turn on UninstallPrep before you remove it, or the turbine packages in your bag and storage are lost. The steps are under Uninstall below.
every name and description is in both languages.
What each turbine makes on average at the default settings (power 9, 18 and 36), by weather. A turbine makes its full power setting in Severe Cold, and the wind moves these up and down by up to 30% over the hours. Each weather's wind is a setting too, in the Weather section. How to read the wind in game is under Reading the wind below.
Heavy Smog: 0, the turbines stand still.
Frosty/Clear, Cold/Clear and Chilly/Clear: Small 1, Medium 2, Large 4. On the 2F terrace, Medium 2 and Large 4.
Clear: Small 1, Medium 2, Large 4. On the 2F terrace, Medium 3 and Large 5.
Cloudy: Small 2, Medium 4, Large 7. On the 2F terrace, Medium 4 and Large 9.
Rainy: Small 3, Medium 6, Large 13. On the 2F terrace, Medium 8 and Large 15.
Continuous Rain: Small 4, Medium 8, Large 16. On the 2F terrace, Medium 10 and Large 19.
Mild Cold and Mild Cold Rain: Small 5, Medium 10, Large 20. On the 2F terrace, Medium 12 and Large 24.
Heavy Rain: Small 7, Medium 14, Large 27. On the 2F terrace, Medium 16 and Large 32.
Moderate Cold and Moderate Cold Rain: Small 7, Medium 14, Large 29. On the 2F terrace, Medium 17 and Large 35.
Severe Cold and Severe Cold Rain: Small 9, Medium 18, Large 36. On the 2F terrace, Medium 22 and Large 43.
The weather box has a Wind line, such as Moderate (35%/100%). The word tells you how strong the wind is. The percent tells you how hard it's blowing compared to full wind, which is the average wind in Severe Cold at the default settings. 100% isn't the top: a gust can push it past 100%, up to 130% at the default settings.
A turbine makes its power setting times that percent. The Large is set to 36, so at 35% it makes about 13, at 100% it makes 36, and in a 130% gust it makes about 47. On the 2F terrace it makes 20% more on top of that.
What each word means, and the weather you'll usually see it in:
Calm (0%): Heavy Smog. The turbines stand still.
Light (1-29%): clear and cloudy days.
Moderate (30-49%): Rainy and Continuous Rain.
Strong (50-89%): Mild Cold, Moderate Cold and Heavy Rain.
Gale (90% and up): Severe Cold.
Hover over a turbine to see what it's making right now, with its power setting and the same wind reading below it, such as Rated 36, Rainy wind Moderate (35%/100%).
With Power Manager 0.4.0 or newer, its Wind setting makes every turbine stronger or weaker, like its solar setting does for the panels. The hover's rating then shows the turbine's power with it, and the wind reading stays as it is. With Power Manager 0.5.0 or newer, its SmogOutput setting can also give Heavy Smog some wind, as a share of a Clear day's, so the turbines turn and make power there too.

A turbine package in a bag or in storage would be lost without the mod, so first turn on UninstallPrep and load your save: every turbine package becomes the solar panel package of its size and colour. Save and quit, then delete WindPower.dll from the BepInEx\plugins folder. Do this for each save you want to keep.
To change settings, edit BepInEx\config\com.dev.survivallog.windpower.cfg while the game is closed, or do it in game on the Mod Manager's Mods screen (see CONFIG.md for every setting). Every setting takes effect at once.
UninstallPrep only changes the save you load while it's on, so load and save each save you want to keep before you remove the mod.
