MA Stackable Wind Turbine

Description
Functionally identical to the vanilla wind turbine, but stackable! Includes a 15 meter long pole, and a light lantern.


The light lantern is to spread low-intensity light over a very large area.

Some info on how the turbines work:
They scan horizontally to verify no obstructions to a distance of 20. The more things this raycast detects, the worse the efficiency is. If it completely surrounded then considered blocked and efficiency drops to zero. They also check for clearance off the ground, "optimal" being 25.
Since they do not scan vertically for obstructions, stacking them vertically is novel and efficient.

Any chance you'd make an Industrial Overhaul compatible version?

Just looked on the bug reporting site and it seems everyone is having the same issue, only 1 turbine is working on any grid. Keen say they are working on it...

Just tested in an frisk starsystem, no mods, it also does it with vanilla turbines. So the problem must not be the mod. (did PC reboot also)

I've just had the same issue. I had originally placed 4 on top of each other working fine, I loaded in to my world today and the first/lowest is spinning but now the other 3 say the clearance is None. I've removed them, replaced them, but only the lowest one now spins.

Only the first windturbine i place down is spinning.
Even though it is connected to 1 large bat and ref with speed modules and assembler with speed modules.
Anyone seen the same problem?

Love your mod. I use a lot of them. You have a ETA for DLC version?

Now if only I could get my DLC disabler mod to work right. I can't figure it out. :/ Some items can't be disabled it seems. I just hope that modders like yourself, when they make DLC versions of mods, they make them as separate additions so that people can choose to opt out of DLC.
