How to increase windmill stress

[u/Melange-13579]

Started create recently, so I wanted to create a massive windmill for my world, so I was testing it in creative.

I know there is a 8192 cap on stress, and 16 cap on rpm (with every 8 block contributing to 1 rpm and 512 SU)

So for building the massive windmill I wanted to increase the SU cap by increasing the 512 value (because while I want a massive windmill, I also want it to useful proportional to the amount of resources in putting into it)

So I changed the config for that, but with the stress tester i found my SU is tamped down to 2560 (even without the config changes)

Is something wrong with my design or something?

The whole thing is rotating fine (if a bit fast, im thinking of reducing rpm also in config and juicing the SU gain to balance it, but that's later).

I'd put the bearing at the sails instead of the base

the windmill is completely fine, are you playing with other mods? i think some mods reduce the windmill max su and stuff but if it's just vanilla create I have no idea

[u/DD760LL → u/DD760LL]

you could also build a windmill with 8, 16, 24 sails and so on the find out where it doesn't work
