Converting Electricity into Mechanical Rotation Using Motors

Instead of stretching Create shafts, gearboxes, and belts across your entire world, you can transmit electricity through wires and turn it back into mechanical rotation right next to your contraptions using motors.

Choosing and Placing a Motor

The mod includes multiple motors rather than just a single tier, allowing you to match the motor to the demands of your build.

1. Look up the available motors in your recipe viewer to compare the different options you can craft.

2. Place a motor directly adjacent to the Create machine or shaft line you want to spin, aligning its rotational output face with your mechanical components.

3. Leave an accessible side clear so you can attach your incoming electrical line.

Powering Your Machines

A motor will only produce rotation while it receives a steady flow of electricity from an active generator.

1. Ensure your spinning copper coil and magnet generator is running in your power station.

2. Run wires from the generator network and connect them to the placed motor.

3. Verify that the connected Create shaft or machine begins rotating once the wire link is complete.

Because wires are much easier to route around corners and walls than mechanical shafts, placing individual motors at each workstation keeps your factory floor compact and organized.
