Create: New Age
Create: New Age (v1.1.7f) is an addon that bridges Create’s kinetic power (Stress Units / RPM) into a Forge Energy-based electricity system, letting a base’s rotational machinery power — and be powered by — FE-based mods like Powah!, Tech Reborn, or Modern Industrialization. Motors are the core conversion block, available in Basic, Advanced, and Reinforced tiers that turn stored electricity into rotation: a Basic Motor holds 16,000 FE and drives 512 SU of stress at 128 RPM, scaling up to a Reinforced Motor’s 128,000 FE capacity and 8,192 SU at 256 RPM. The server’s conversion rate between Create’s Stress Units and Forge Energy is set at suToEnergy = 0.029296875, and Energisers (basic/advanced/reinforced) plus Solar Heating Plates and Heat Pumps/Pipes handle the reverse and auxiliary power flows, all connected over a wire network (max wire length 16 blocks, using Copper/overcharged Iron/Golden/Diamond wire blocks).
Its standout system is a genuine nuclear reactor: Reactor Casing, Reactor Rod, Fuel Acceptor, Heat Vent, and Reactor Glass blocks assemble into a multiblock fueled by Thorium Ore, with real meltdown consequences — Corium (and a Solid Corium variant) exist specifically as the molten byproduct of a reactor failure, mirroring real-world reactor meltdown lore. Server-side reactor tuning (ReactorRodHeat = 30, ReactorRodHeatLoss = 25, and multipliers for overheating/passive heat loss/solar panel output) is left at its defaults, so reactor risk and reward play out as the mod author intended.
Anticipated questions
Q: What does Create: New Age do? A: It bridges Create’s kinetic power (SU/RPM) into a Forge Energy electricity system, letting rotational machinery power — and be powered by — FE mods like Powah!, Tech Reborn, or Modern Industrialization.
Q: How do I convert electricity to rotation? A: Motors in Basic/Advanced/Reinforced tiers — a Basic Motor holds 16,000 FE and drives 512 SU at 128 RPM, up to a Reinforced Motor’s 128,000 FE and 8,192 SU at 256 RPM; Energisers handle the reverse.
Q: What’s its standout system? A: A genuine nuclear reactor multiblock fueled by Thorium Ore, with real meltdown consequences — Corium (and a Solid Corium variant) exists specifically as the molten byproduct of a reactor failure.
Q: Where does it sit in progression? A: It’s a Create addon meant to electrify a kinetic base and interconnect it with the FE-based tech trees, rather than a standalone tech tree of its own.
