Create Photomovement

A Create mod addon that adds solar-powered rotation sources to your mechanical contraptions!

Features

Solar Generator

A reliable, vertical-facing power source.

• Generation: 16 RPM and 16 SU (constant)
• Requirement: Light Level 12+ (needs direct sky access)
• Weather: Speed is halved to 8 RPM during rain
• Orientation: Must be placed with the glass panel facing up
• Compatibility: Check status with Engineer's Goggles

Horizontal Solar Generator

A directional variant that tracks the sun's position.

• Dynamic Output:
  • East Facing: Peak generation in the morning
  • West Facing: Peak generation in the evening
• Smart Obstruction System:
  • Block touching face: Stops generation (0 RPM)
  • Block within 2-10 blocks: Reduced output
• Weather: Speed is halved during rain

Advanced Solar Generator (NEW in 0.2.0!)

A powerful upgrade with brass casing for 2x power output.

• Generation: 32 RPM and 32 SU (double the basic version!)
• Requirement: Same as basic Solar Generator
• Weather: Speed is halved to 16 RPM during rain
• Crafting: Upgrade your basic generator with brass components

Horizontal Advanced Solar Generator (NEW in 0.2.0!)

The horizontal version of the advanced generator.

• Generation: 32 RPM base with dynamic stress capacity
• Dynamic Output: Same sun-tracking behavior as the basic horizontal
• Weather: Speed is halved during rain

Solar Windmill Bearing & Solar Sails

For massive power generation, build a custom solar array!

Solar Windmill Bearing

Works like a standard Windmill Bearing but is optimized for Solar Sails.

• Connection: Attaches to Solar Sails (and standard sails).
• Output: Generates Stress Units (SU) based on sail count and weather.
• Requirement: Needs sky access to benefit from solar multipliers.

Solar Sails

Specialized sails that harness sunlight for boosted power.

• Material: Translucent, comes in all 16 colors + clear.
• Efficiency:
  • Sunny: 2x power output (compared to white sails).
  • Raining: 1.5x power output.
  • Night/Thunder/Covered: 1x power output (same as white sails).

| Sails | Speed (RPM) | Standard SU | Solar (Rain) SU | Solar (Sunny) SU |
| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| 8 | 1 | 512 | 768 | 1024 |
| 16 | 2 | 1024 | 1536 | 2048 |
| 32 | 4 | 2048 | 3072 | 4096 |
| 64 | 8 | 4096 | 6144 | 8192 |
| 128 | 16 | 8192 | 12288 | 16384 |
