Why is the Core the only windy place in the game?
It should be entirely un-windy down there, being...y'know...the core of the planet and all.
Cannae help but wonder if that's a complete oversight, or one of these sneaky wee things Nick was talkin' about them "revealing" in later updates...

And? It's underground. Really, really underground. Where's the wind coming from?

Gases being released from the core would be my guess.

Ok warm air rises, that’s why
Ok warm air rises, that’s why we have wind - where the sun hits the equator the air is heated causing the air currents across the world.
So the core heats the air around it, it rises, the air cools, falls and the process begins again.
Or it may be that there are huge turbines down there that cause the wind.
Or seeing as the clockworks seem to float on (i imagine) hydraulic struts, the surface may not be solid causing a...er...draft...."shut that door!"

That'd explain the
That'd explain the gas/dust..but what's making them whoosh around all windy-like, with the windy sound effects? Like, it's not just dust fluttering around, it's actually heavy wind, enough to cause a bit of gfx lag when you load up.

I would accept that the giant
I would accept that the giant turbines cause wind throughout the entire CWs, but then:
"Why is the Core the only windy place in the game?" key word: only.
If that was the case, there'd be wind elsewhere too. There's not even wind in Haven, ABOVE the surface. At the surface of planets, the ground causes friction and slows down the speed of the wind, so even with the ground being broken up into bits for the CWs, the sheer amount of layered land, and the depth alone of it all would have the wind at a standstill by the time you reach the core.
Not just tryin' to be difficult and smash all theories here, btw, just tryin' to keep some degree of logic involved, and whatever the case, I can't imagine a scenario where the core of a planet is windier than any other section.

There are lots of fans
There are lots of fans everywhere, including the haven fountain. It would be normal to find one there.
Who knows, maybe there's a gaint fan behind us, but hidden since the camera doesnt rotate.

a wizard did it
but no
a wizard did it
but no seriously I assume it's some kind of energy from the core.

Dude, have you seen the inside of your computer?
The energy coursing through the system generates heat, so fans are in place to make wind to circulate air to keep it cool, so it doesn't burn up...

Comparing storm-force winds
Comparing storm-force winds surrounding the core of a planet to a computer fan is a bit heavy handed, no? The noise doesn't sound like fans, it sounds like wind. The animation graphic doesn't look like dust being blown from a fan, it looks like wind. If they're fans, then the fans are surounding the core *behind* the camera and nowhere else, yet create enough of a gust to let it travel far beyond where it should.
And absolutely none of it reaches anywhere else in the planet.
Iunno, just doesnae quite fit, in my eyes.

Well, the fans were less of the point.
The main point was that with an object with power of that magnitude coursing through it, it would be liable to SEVERELY overheat.
The WIND is there to circulate the hot air away from the core, bringing in cooler air so the core doesn't have a meltdown.
Either that, or energy rising from the core energizes air particles, causing to travel at higher speeds causing more particle collision leading to the particle movement event we know as wind.
Or something.
The fans thing was just a crude example. VERY crude.

Who knows, I may just be entirely over-analysing it; they may have put the wind in to add a desolate, empty and barren kind of atmosphere and I'm just looking into it too deep, but I can never help be curious when I find anomalies in games, I always wonder if they're just accidental, with other purpose or have some secrety meaning behind them.
Or if I'm jus' bein' a fool.

nah
Don't worry about it. I like doing that all the time too.
Over-analyzing helps to stimulate creativity, and thats always a nice thing to have.

Zelda
maybe they added the windy effects to suggest that its deserted, which brings us back to #1
Zelda has stronger winds tho :/

Uh..the core isn't the only place there is wind. I saw wind at the Royal Jelly boss level after beating it earlier. ( 4 star guns solo.. apparently it IS possible. )

probably there will be deeper places in the future or at the core, you can teleport somewhere else

@ Melisan
You must be foolish if you think he's the only one whom lags at this part. Also, alot of the community lags when they've just in the arcade, bazaar, etc. I'm sorry we all don't have a T4 Line like you?
The core is really big. Really really big.
