Description

The Stationeers wind turbine was first designed by Norsec atmospheric engineers, looking to create a wind-driven power generation system that would operate even on exceedingly low atmosphere worlds. The ultra-light blades respond to exceedingly low atmospheric densities, while being strong enough to function even under huge strain in much more demanding environments.

While the wind turbine is optimized to produce power (up to 500W) even on low atmosphere worlds, it performs best in denser environments. Output varies with wind speed and, during storms, may increase dramatically (up to 20,000W), so be careful to design your power networks with that in mind.

Kit that produces the Wind Turbine, a tall wind power generating structure. Created with an Electronics Printer (Tier Two) Using the following resources: 10 x Copper, 20 x Steel, 5 x Electrum

After construction it will need to be completed with the following tools/resources: Welding Torch and 5 x Steel Sheets, Screwdriver and 2 Electronic parts.

Once completed in game Stationpedia info currently says it is optimized to produce power up to 500W and the output varies depending on wind speed. Storms could dramatically increase this up to 20,000W so safeguard your power networks!


Arrays beyond 5 units exceed Heavy Cable wattage limit and burn out, need a transformer to protect the cable if the amount of wind turbines exceed 5.

Average Power Output

Through some experimentation, I have found the following average power outputs over time. Note that the power output fluctuates on a 1-2 minute roughly sinusoidal cycle.

World Average Power Output
Mars ~40W
Europa ~190W
Venus ~220W
