[Suggestion] Windmill Generator and Battery
Windmill as an alternate for power generation as well as batteries to store power from Solar power generator (Need repairing every so often or risk of failure/fire) or some other risk to make battery usage need a bit of consideration for risks

WindWraithThis is a perfect place to use all the wasted hides we get. Use those to make the sail portion of the windmills. Also what about human and animal-powered generators/turbines? With the core work done on the water wheel, it shouldn't be hard to modify it for wind, people, or animals. Battery storage is just a no-brainer to me. That would be nice.

GP PatchThis would be great for night and storms as an alternative to solar. This would require more 'units' to be crafted - Solar for daytime, good weather and Wind/Battery for nighttime and storms.

cmopatrickWindmill could use much the same 3d model as the waterwheel, cost only 2/3rds the resources, maybe generate half the power, and be deployable on a flat roof or raised platform (platform should not be included in the model).

Maddstone MergedWind Turbine item and blueprint mentioned in Week 73 Future Content in the patch notes. So hopefully they will be part Prometheus DLC if not sooner.

Ewen MergedAn energy source that is dependent on wind flow, such as a wind storm, will produce more energy when there is a windstorm and less energy when there is less wind, may attract lightning, needs to be repaired because of a burnt blade or came loose. The lower the health, the higher the chance that it will stop working, and will produce less and less power based on how damaged it is.
It could be 2 or 3 stories high, has a base as big as a large tree, and has a ladder and platform to fix the part that’s damaged.
Tier 4 (or tier 5 if it is possible) -
