=== Internal/External Control (A) ===
 
 
 
If set to internal control, you can move the Gauges yourself. If set to external, the Gauges are controlled by a signal coming in over a [[Signal Cable]].
 
 
 
=== Take/Decline Fuel (B) ===
 
 
 
If under Internal control, this controls whether the Furnace will consume fuel. If it is left off, the furnace won't consume any fuel.
 
 
 
=== Regulator Slot (C) ===
 
 
 
Normally only the Control Gauge can be controlled. If you have a [[Regulator]] installed, you can set a particular temperature for the furnace to hold. The [[Regulator|Analog Regulator]] does so gradually, finding the exact right control setting, while the 1%/10% regulators work approximately like a standard thermostat.

Positioning

The Higher, The Better. Try to position your Wind Turbine As high as it is possible (on a hill or build a tower) The wind speed peaks at Y100 so if you want optimal performance, build that high. Make sure that nothing obstructs airflow: No blocks either at the front, or the back of a Windmill (tip: Power generation is higher during rain or storm) REMEMBER:160W of power is the maximum of it.The real power of it is about 15-35w.Sometimes higher,but really rare.Very unstable!
