Windmills and outdoors

They definitely transmit power indiscriminate of land claim. They also will transmit power if they don't work, from other power sources that do work. For example, you can hang water wheels on the wall to send power across large distances.

That being said, Windmills need the space in front of them to be clear in order to produce power. What can be peculiar about this, is that if you have blocks that are in front of the windmill, but also above the windmill, this also counts as blocking windmill. This is because the server pulls the position data for the highest block in a vertical column, and uses that to determine if there's something in the way.

Hope this helps

There was a tree close by i wonder if that borked it

Obstructions will cause the windmill (and turbine) to have reduced or no power production.
On the industrial property issue, we have some plans to readjust so industrial furniture only reduce the value of the room type instead of completely blocking it so there will be a slight adjustment to allow these objects to coexist with other rooms..
