Generators

Hey just an idea but I would like it if the generators (excluding the wind generators) would run on gas or some form of fuel. That way you would have to rely on the wind for a while till you can either buy fuel or make your own from say oil or whatever that you mined.
Just an idea.

I had been thinking along similar lines, and then I saw that Chris mentioned doing that in a post a few weeks ago in the thread titled "In lieu of update 0.40.5."
Most of the theories here are right. Wind direction and strength will vary, so generators will be more reliable but need fuel. Also altitude will affect windiness, and you'll have different windmill types for different winds (more blades= better in light wind areas but less likely to handle strong winds).

Ok, thats good. that means my mountain base will have moar power in the future. Is their any word on solar panels though? Maybe even a nuke generator?

Surely no nuke generator. I will prefer to go with solar panels or wind farm
