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.
