Hots Aerostuff FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get started with this mod?
You'll need Create and Aeronautics installed first, as this mod adds blocks for both. Start by gathering materials to craft 
redstone levitite or a 
link relay—both are early-game additions that don't require advanced Create machinery. Check the crafting recipes in-game to see what you need for your first project.

Regular levitite floats constantly, but redstone levitite only activates when it receives a redstone signal. This lets you control when your airship rises or falls, making it essential for precision flying and landing.

Place a link relay and configure input-output pairs inside it—each pair maps one wireless frequency to another. You can store unlimited pairs in a single block, letting you remap and bundle signals without cluttering your build with multiple relays.

You can store unlimited pairs in a single block, letting you remap and bundle signals without cluttering your build with multiple relays.Can I invert a relay's output so a frequency stays active until I turn it off?
Yes, the link relay has an invert option that reverses its output logic. When enabled, the output signal will remain active until an input signal arrives, flipping the normal on/off behavior.

Analog torsion springs adjust rotation angles based on redstone signal strength, dividing your set angle into 15 steps. This gives you smooth, gradual control over wing or rudder rotation instead of just on/off movement.
What materials do I need to craft an 
analog torsion spring?
You'll need a brass casing, a shaft, a spring, and an electron tube. These are standard Create components, so make sure your Create setup can produce them.
How do I hide redstone wiring in my airship?
You can encase redstone links using copycat panels, andesite casings, or brass casings to keep wiring hidden inside your build. This keeps your airship looking clean while maintaining full functionality.
What are copycat sails and how are they different from regular sails?
Copycat sails are decorative variants that copy the appearance of other blocks, and symmetric sails are crafted from zinc and standard sails. They work the same mechanically but let you customize the look of your flying machine.
Do I need advanced Create progression to use these blocks?
Most blocks like redstone levitite and link relays are accessible early, but analog torsion springs require brass casings and electron tubes, which need mid-game Create machinery. Start simple and work up to more complex builds.

No—this mod is designed as an addon for both Create and Aeronautics together, and requires both to function. The blocks are built specifically to enhance flying machines and wireless control systems from those mods.
