Talk:Improved Windmill

Some data: (measurements taken in FTB Infinity Evolved Expert Mode Skyblock 1.1 using the Ender IO vibrant capacitor bank which shows the nett RF/t throughput) Placed at y=201-?: 50RF/t At y=151-200: 37RF/t y=101-150: 31RF/t y=70-101: 25RF/t y=?-69: 8RF/t GreenZombie76 (talk) 20:04, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
 * (Formatted below). Interesting. I would definitely like to see the math for this. I think documenting it would be important.

 * There is no maths to see here. The ranges seem to be quite hard coded. From Y 151 to 200 the output is exactly 37RF/t. Move the kinetic dynamo 1 block up from 200 to 201, and suddenly it outputs 50RF/t. I'd guess from the numbers that the code for this is simply a chained if statement:

if(y>200) return 50; if(y>150) return 37; if(y>100) return 31; etc. GreenZombie76 (talk) 09:26, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 * You are ruining my black box reverse engineering by actually going to the source :P - exactly like that as it turns out.

 * If a mod is open source, it is better to go straight to the source than black box reverse engineering. Also some mods are closed source but the authors are okay with you decompiling it to document it. 15:26, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
