Turbines tend to go up late, and the bill explains why. Sheet metal never comes off any bench, and gears only do at Level 3, so three of each means a lot of crates and road runs. The high quality metal and the wood are one evening's farm beside them.
Those sheets are also three crafts of high stone walls. Price the turbine against the compound it could have been, and against the other ways to skip fuel: a water wheel takes a single sheet if you live on a river, and a solar panel swaps the sheets for tech trash.
Tip
Start a sheet box early. Heavy plate armour you no longer wear gives sheets back in the recycler, so put it through instead of letting it gather dust.
