Editing Windmill (section)

== Overview ==
The Windmill costs '''{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=cost|biome=wood|resource=wood}}''' of the [[Biomes|biome's]] primary resource, '''{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=cost|biome=wood|resource=stone}}''' of a secondary resource, and '''{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=cost|biome=wood|resource=tools}}''' {{Icon|Tools}} to construct. The [[Earth Biome|Earth]] variant substitutes {{Icon|Stone}} for {{Icon|Wood}} as the secondary resource. It requires '''{{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=balance|resource=population}}}}''' [[Population|workers]] and stores '''{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=storage|resource=volume}}''' units each of {{Icon|Flour}} and {{Icon|Grain}}.

Each day the Windmill consumes '''{{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=grain}}}}''' {{Icon|Grain}} and produces '''{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=flour}}''' {{Icon|Flour}}, a 1:1 conversion. It also consumes a small amount of {{Icon|Tools}} ({{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=tools}}/day) for ongoing maintenance.

A Windmill enforces a 25-meter exclusion zone, preventing other production buildings from being placed too close. Decorative buildings, roads and other LineString-shaped structures, and Polygon-shaped buildings such as [[Field]]s, [[Plaza]]s, and [[Dirt]] are exempt from this restriction and may be placed inside the zone.

The Windmill upgrades to the [[Improved Windmill]] for '''{{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=cost|resource=scrap}}''' {{Icon|Scrap}}. The upgrade reduces grain consumption to '''{{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=rate|resource=grain}}}}''' {{Icon|Grain}} per day for the same '''{{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=rate|resource=flour}}''' {{Icon|Flour}} output, and removes the {{Icon|Tools}} maintenance cost entirely.
