Description

Create Photomovement

A Create mod addon that adds solar-powered rotation sources to your mechanical contraptions!

Features

Solar Generator

A reliable, vertical-facing power source.

  • Generation: 16 RPM and 16 SU (constant)
  • Requirement: Light Level 12+ (needs direct sky access)
  • Weather: Speed is halved to 8 RPM during rain
  • Orientation: Must be placed with the glass panel facing up
  • Compatibility: Check status with Engineer's Goggles

Horizontal Solar Generator

A directional variant that tracks the sun's position.

  • Dynamic Output:
    • East Facing: Peak generation in the morning
    • West Facing: Peak generation in the evening
  • Smart Obstruction System:
    • Block touching face: Stops generation (0 RPM)
    • Block within 2-10 blocks: Reduced output
  • Weather: Speed is halved during rain

Advanced Solar Generator (NEW in 0.2.0!)

A powerful upgrade with brass casing for 2x power output.

  • Generation: 32 RPM and 32 SU (double the basic version!)
  • Requirement: Same as basic Solar Generator
  • Weather: Speed is halved to 16 RPM during rain
  • Crafting: Upgrade your basic generator with brass components

Horizontal Advanced Solar Generator (NEW in 0.2.0!)

The horizontal version of the advanced generator.

  • Generation: 32 RPM base with dynamic stress capacity
  • Dynamic Output: Same sun-tracking behavior as the basic horizontal
  • Weather: Speed is halved during rain

Solar Windmill Bearing & Solar Sails

For massive power generation, build a custom solar array!

Solar Windmill Bearing

Works like a standard Windmill Bearing but is optimized for Solar Sails.

  • Connection: Attaches to Solar Sails (and standard sails).
  • Output: Generates Stress Units (SU) based on sail count and weather.
  • Requirement: Needs sky access to benefit from solar multipliers.

Solar Sails

Specialized sails that harness sunlight for boosted power.

  • Material: Translucent, comes in all 16 colors + clear.
  • Efficiency:
    • Sunny: 2x power output (compared to white sails).
    • Raining: 1.5x power output.
    • Night/Thunder/Covered: 1x power output (same as white sails).
Sails Speed (RPM) Standard SU Solar (Rain) SU Solar (Sunny) SU
8 1 512 768 1024
16 2 1024 1536 2048
32 4 2048 3072 4096
64 8 4096 6144 8192
