Tethered Wind Turbine

Tethered Wind Turbine

Tethered Wind Turbine. Or the Gulper, as I like to call it.

Run out of free land?
Skyscrapers taking up every bit of your county?
Not enough open water?
Are tourists complaining about those advanced wind turbines covering every inch of your your precious (clean!?) surface waters?

Fabulous environmentally friendly tethered wind turbines do not ruin the view! (nobody ever looks up anyways).
Fabulous environmentally friendly tethered wind turbines create less noise pollution! (in a way… 1/5th of normal wind turbines over 3x the area)
Fabulous environmentally friendly tethered wind turbines create more energy per buck than normal wind turbines! (50% more power for 30% more upkeep, 0-12 energy for 104 per week)
Fabulous environmentally friendly tethered wind turbines have a tiny footprint! (just make sure you rotate using the right mouse button (click for digital, drag for analog), so the tether doesn’t glitch through nearby buildings. Don’t worry! It’s surprisingly easy to fit in between some apartement buildings!)

512×256 Texture res.
1100 tris.
LOD has 600 tris… which is a tad high, but these things do not blend in with the urban environment on the ground, aka they stand out, and I felt they needed some more detail, I especially wanted the tether to be visibleat a distance. Then again, they are not growables, so you probably won’t have hundreds of these flying around lagging up your pc. ^^

The colored rings light up to provide a warning for unsuspecting pilots to heed. As always, you may change the light ring’s color variations in the asset editor!
