Wind turbine

[Nukkxx]

My wind turbine is blocked by an oak tree they say. But
1- it's working
2- i don't see the oak tree.
Any idea ?

Open your eyes... I see at least two trees within the turbine's operating area.
Lay down some flooring to cover the whole of the turbine's area to prevent all growth.

Bottom right corner of it tree is in the way it won't kill your power but it will lower the max amount you will get. I put crops on the larger side of mine so no trees will ever grow, and a solar panel on the back side of them that blocks most the tiles from ever spawning a tree, and saves me on cost of power cables. like you did a good job its just that tiny little corner has a tree in it.

Oh and that whole area is a ticking time bomb for fire... That floor is gonna light up good if you get a zzzt over there.

I recomend upgrading that area to stone asap or use concrete. its -1 beuty for concrete floors uses one metal but fire proof flooring. That way if a zzt goes off nothing is lighting up but the other stuff near what goes. Also I recomend covering wires in stone walsl whe you can as they can pop any where and they soak it up like a sponge for you bit harder to do with outdoor lines so I try make those as short as I can and use non flamable floor like stone around them so say one pops it won't set my farms on fire...

The base rooms are not to horrible to be wood for a bit but I woudl have dirt floor then wood in any area with things that need compenets. Later on when you start making your own guns, and what not you want every companet you can get so proteck anythign that costs them to avoid expenses you didn't plan for like kitchen being set on fire burnign up the stove, and I wierd put sewing machine in same room since I build it near the stock pile and I got make the room a decen size anyways so I do butcher table, stove, then sewing machine, and stone cutter on the other side of the room, and slap down some toolbox things that workin on eveyr thing but the stove.

OK, I didn't know about the operating area.
And thanks TOG for the recommendations !

1. Each block takes a huge part out of the energy, you need 3 to stop it fully
2. I do. Trees are these big brown sticks with green bushes on top

Build more Solar Generators to cover the empty spaces, and fill the rest of are with artificial floor panels - this will solve the SUDDEN tree appearance problem.

just so you know, turbine's operating zone can overlap one another with no detrimental effects.
