Windmills aren't mills, they're turbines

Mills mill things. Turbines produce power. They should be renamed.

i think Windmills is a better name then turbine, turbines are for producing power windmills are used to move gears
so windmills are a better naming for this item

Windmills are called that because they are wind-powered mills, in the same way that watermills are called that because they are water-powered mills.

I agree with calling them wind turbines, as they are not milling anything.

To the Richard a year ago, the wind turbines we use in the modern day to produce electricity work by being used to move gears. (Hence "turbine" being in their name rather than something like "generator")

True Windmills are not in the game unless modded, so they should be called Wind Turbines.
