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 |
