Mechanical power is the lifeblood of a BTW base. Power is generated by a source and transmitted via Axles and Gearboxes.

Power Sources

  • Hand Crank: Provides temporary power when held down by the player. Used for early-game Mill Stone processing.
  • Water Wheel: Must be placed in flowing water. Provides constant, low-intensity power.
  • Wind Mill: Must be placed in a large, open area at high altitude. Provides power based on weather; it can become 'Overpowered' during storms, which will break connected Gearboxes unless a Redstone Clutch is used.

Transmission

  • Axle: Transmits power in a straight line up to 3 blocks. Must be supported by a block.
  • Gearbox: Changes the direction of mechanical power. It can be toggled via Redstone to act as a switch.
  • Redstone Clutch: A gearbox that stops transmitting power when receiving a Redstone signal, essential for protecting machines from storms.
