Editing Improved Windmill (section)

== Overview ==
The Improved Windmill cannot be constructed directly. It is obtained by spending '''{{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=cost|resource=scrap}}''' {{Icon|Scrap}} to upgrade an existing [[Windmill]]. The upgrade preserves the parent Windmill's '''{{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=balance|resource=population}}}}''' [[Population|worker]] requirement and 25-meter exclusion zone.

Each day the Improved Windmill consumes '''{{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=rate|resource=grain}}}}''' {{Icon|Grain}} and produces '''{{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=rate|resource=flour}}''' {{Icon|Flour}}. Flour output is unchanged from the base Windmill, but grain consumption drops by '''{{#expr:({{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=grain}}-{{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=rate|resource=grain}})}}''' per day, a meaningful saving for settlements that scale up bread production. The upgrade also removes the {{Icon|Tools}} maintenance cost present on the base Windmill.

Storage capacity is reduced to '''{{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=storage|resource=volume}}''' units of {{Icon|Flour}} only. Unlike the base Windmill, the Improved Windmill no longer holds a {{Icon|Grain}} buffer, so settlements relying on it should ensure {{Icon|Grain}} is available from a nearby [[Field]] or storage building.
