Wind speed reducing over time?

[DeathsAngel 0]

I have a town in the Cape Trinity region and at the start there was a good wind, was a good spot for wind power. The wind started at 12. So I installed around 8-12 wind turbine, but now the wind dropped at 8, and when I reloaded today it was down to 7....

 

Is it normal that overtime the winds drops? Will it cycle back to full wind power? I let the game run in cheathah for about 30 minutes and the wind is still getting lower and lower...

Yes it has a random generated cicle. It can go as low as 7 and as high as 18.7

At least they've been good enough to simulate the weather a bit :-) The wind never blows constantly for us in RL, so why should it in the game? :-) lol

 

Although I think that they should increase the top wind speed a bit more so that the game can simulate RL where the wind turbines shut down if it's too windy, forcing you to think about having a secondary power supply to hand and ready to switch on as/when required.

Yes, but then to be balanced there should be shortages or coal, oil, bad weather lowering solar power efficiency ect.

Agreed. If they can simulate (and display) pollution in the air as though it was smog then they should be able to simulate cloudy days as well so that solar arrays weren't as effective.

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you guys!!
