Electric Motor: Power In, Rotation Out

The Electric Motor is the reverse of the Alternator — feed it electricity and it outputs Create rotational force (stress/speed). Wire it to an Accumulator or Alternator output, then attach a shaft to its output face. This is how you power mechanical Create machines from stored electricity instead of water or wind.

Servo Motor: Precise Control

The Servo Motor is used where you need controlled or switched motion rather than a constant spin. Wire it in and use it to drive mechanisms that should only run on demand — think doors, gates, or intermittent machine activation. Pair it with a Redstone Relay so a redstone signal toggles the motor on and off.

Wiring Basics

  • Use Copper Wire or Electrum Wire to connect motors to your power source.
  • Small Connectors and Large Connectors anchor wires to blocks.
  • A Capacitor nearby absorbs startup surges so your Accumulator isn't drained instantly.

Tips

  • Motors consume charge continuously while running — don't leave them on idle.
  • Use the Redstone Relay to cut power when a machine isn't needed.
  • Match motor speed to the machine; over-speeding wastes electricity.
