Discussion: Floating Island Biome Turbines?

Seldkam

"Heavily develop / finish the Floating Island area, with the intention that they be ready for Turbines"


Do we know what the dev means by turbines? This was taken from a card on trello

Turbines could mean. Power generation. Or propulsion.

I would love propulsion.

Seldkam

That would be really interesting... both of them would. I was just interested because it gives us an insight as to what the devs have planned for that particular biome (or the islands)

solar71

Yes it would be. But who knows what the Devs are thinking?

Currents?

My immediate thought was to wind turbines for power generation on surface bases.

Seldkam

It would be awesome if we had another layer of power generation (I'm crossing my fingers that it has the capability to charge the Cyclops as well. As a side note a big reason why I don't explore anymore (though I've explored A LOT already lol) is because of the extreme power consumption even with the efficiency module...)

Myrm

I have only just stumbled on the floating island. As I was walking around it I get half expecting a dinosaur to show up. Think I might build a base on this island.

maybe?

I expect windmills.

Windmill power sources seem great. Maybe a wiring system that connects buildings to the windmill, and you can also power your underwater bases with it.

A windmill

Underwater

When absolutely 0 work has been done on undersea currents?

Mmmmmmmaybe it's something else?

How most of you guys think of energy generation, before thinking of being able to turn floating islands into controllable boats of badassery is beyond me

I suspect its wind turbines for the big surface floating island. Not those smaller ones under water. That to me makes the most possible sense.
