Rain energy in Outbound

Rain energy in Outbound fills the gap that solar and wind leave during heavy rainfall. Rainwater turbines convert falling rain into up to 3.0 kW of power, with output scaling to rainfall intensity.

They produce nothing in clear weather, so they work best as the third source in a mixed power grid alongside solar and wind. The basic Rainwater Turbine costs 5 Fibre and unlocks on Pacific Coast. The Efficient Rainwater Turbine requires Tier 3 materials and unlocks on the Canyons island.
