Create Legacy: Mod Guide

Overview

Create Legacy is a backport of Create and functions similarly. From now on we will refer to Create as "modern Create" and Create Legacy as "Create" for simplicity.

The Kinetic System

In Create, all components that "do" something participate in the kinetic system.

Based very loosely on real life kinetics, rotating components can have a rotation speed (measured in rotation speed RS) and induce a certain amount of stress (measured in stress units SU) on the network. "Generating" components dictate the network speed and increase the networks stress capacity per added generating component. Examples include the water wheel.

"Consuming" components perform actions and induce stress on the network. The stress induced on the network can be calculated by multiplying the network speed with the base stress consumption of the component. Examples include the millstone.

Overstress

A network is overstressed when the combined actual stress consumption (product of network speed and sum of actor components' stress consumption) is higher than the combined actual stress capacity (product of network speed and sum of generator components' stress capacity).

When a network is overstressed, it will halt. To resolve overstress, more generating components can be added, or, consuming components removed.

Network meters

Create includes two types of network meters by default: the stressometer and the speedometer. These two components are connected to the network and act like axles. When clicked they display a message detailing network stress capacity and consumption, and network speed respectively. These components can be read by OpenComputers and CC: Tweaked computers. More on compatibility later in this wiki. For players not using additional computer mods: placing a comparator next to a stressometer will give you a redstone signal according to these rules:

  • 0 if the network has infinite SU capacity
  • 15 if the network is overstressed
  • 0 - 15 reflecting how much of the network stress capacity is being used

The Wrench and Directional Blocks

Many, or rather most of Create's blocks are directional. This means that they will face in a certain direction when placed and this could change if a face implementing functionality is exposed. To change the facing or direction of a block, click on the block while holding a wrench. Clicking on a block's face will rotate the block by 90° about the corresponding axis.

Compatibility with other mods

JEI / HEI

Like many mods that include new machines or mechanics, Create has custom recipes and you can use JEI or a fork of it like HEI to view Create's recipes in-game! We highly recommend playing with JEI or HEI to view recipes in game.

TheOneProbe & HWYLA

Create has integration both with TOP and HWYLA, allowing you to see network statistics and information about kinetic blocks just by looking at them. We recommend playing with one of these mods for a better experience.

OpenComputers

If you're playing with OpenComputers, you can get information from the speedometer and the stressometer - this can be useful for building more complex contraptions involving redstone and kinetics. The following methods are available for you:

Component speedometer

  • getNetworkSpeed() : returns the network speed in RS - int

Component stressometer

  • getNetworkStress() : returns the network's current consumed stress in SU - int
  • isNetworkOverstressed() : returns true if the network is overstressed - boolean
  • isNetworkInfiniteSU() : returns true if the network has an infinite SU capacity - boolean

ComputerCraft / CC: Tweaked

If you're playing with ComputerCraft or CC: Tweaked (a fork of ComputerCraft), you can similarly get information from the speedometer and stressometer:

Peripheral speedometer

  • getNetworkSpeed() : returns the network speed in RS - Integer

Peripheral stressometer

  • getNetworkStress() : returns the network's current consumed stress in SU - Integer
  • isNetworkOverstressed() : returns true if the network is overstressed - Boolean
  • isNetworkInfiniteSU() : returns true if the network has an infinite SU capacity - Boolean

GregTech Community Edition Unofficial (GTCEu)

If you're playing with GTCEu, you can configure the following integration options:

  • gtVoltage (long) (default: 32L) | Equivalent GTCEu voltage tier for Create Legacy machines (Values can be found here)
  • enableFanOreWashing (boolean) (default: true) | Whether the encased fan's washing recipe can run GT's ore washer recipes
  • enableMillstoneMacerate (boolean) (default: true) | Whether the millstone can run GT's macerator recipes
