Wind Turbine's cannot be damaged by incendiary rockets or fire arrows. This could be because people used to destroy wind turbines by flying minicopters into them and the fire would consume them.
Wind Turbine's cannot be picked up.

Make a tower with stone frames, fill the gaps with netting and place the turbine there

*2 wind turbines can be placed on a single square foundation (going out 1) on each side and (power source) facing you
*1 Turbine can be placed on a single triangle foundation that has 2 floors
*Turbines need 3 triangle distance away from eachother

The Wind turbine produces 0–150 power and can operate at day and night unlike the solar panel that can only produce 0–20 power and only generates power from day
The Wind turbine is very useful for lighting systems and power storage

The wind turbine produces 0-150 power and can generate the most power than any other electrical thing in this game. The higher you place it in the air the more power it will produce. If you are producing 150 power make sure you have an electrical branch from the wind turbine connecting it to a large battery and a medium battery (electrical branches are confusing to use at first please look up how to use it). Finally, use a root combiner to have a single output for both of the batteries. Good luck!
