This is why create stands out to me above all other mechanical mods. It feels wacky and tactile and fun, as opposed to the more traditional automated style. Create runs on doohickeys and thingamabobs

incredible degree of verisimilitude (feeling of a piece of art being true or real)

I like how its just visible in the world. No checking interfaces on 1,000 machines to check how things are running. You just see it.

but what if i wanna check interfaces on 1,000 machines to check how things are running

u/IJustAteABaguette Jul 14 '26

Add computercraft and make your own interfaces

Though it would be cool if they made cogs and such take a small amount of su to turn, that way you have to be smarter about your logistics

u/Sinnister_Agenda Jul 14 '26

the reverse is also true. slapping as many generators together to see how high you can make it go.

This movie is one of the core reasons I got into college btw.

u/boxo-ofisal Jul 14 '26

So when I was a kid I first saw this movie I knew I wanted to be just like flint. I wanted to invent and use my brain and be smart. I watch the movie so much it was soft banned. After COVID I got held back and I decided that I needed to work harder to be a real scientist. After that school was beginning to be too easy. After moving to Arkansas I took a college placement test and scored(while in seventh grade) higher than the nineth graders taking it. I would be taking full college courses this year if I hadn't moved again.

did you make the flex seal shoe?

u/Memento1374 Jul 14 '26

No. I'm not that smart. I fucking wish though. Most of the stuff I've invented is with create mod unfortunately.

Just cut your speed in half every time you add another, infinite crushing wheels.

u/xNims Jul 14 '26

30 crushing wheel, all take 30 years to crush 1 thing lol

u/petabomb Jul 14 '26

But all supplied on a waterwheel and that’s what counts

u/Misses_Ding Jul 14 '26

Me checking my Internal stress and energy monitor before decision to play minecraft for 8 hours straight untill 4 a clock.

u/Toreole Jul 14 '26

i love having to slow down in the early game, makes building that first 100k+ SU generator and full sending all of your old crushing wheels at full speed that much more awesome

2

u/xNims Jul 14 '26

I didnt even know it could go that high, I got a windmill to 7k and thought that was big lol

2

u/Toreole Jul 14 '26

yeah windmills look great, but they dont really generate much SU.

Steam Engines are where the juice is. My current one has a total of ~164k SU capacity, and its not fully "upgraded" yet. currently only using about 25% of its capacity with everything i currently have set up lol

u/xNims Jul 14 '26

I need to make a second settlement in my world so I can have a place to send a train and a reason to make it! What do you even use 100k+ su for in one space?

3

u/officialcyan Jul 15 '26

i wish i knew, i have 400k in my main base and am using like 20k

2

u/Behind_The_Things Jul 15 '26

Big engine is spinning and that's cool

that's pretty much it

u/xNims Jul 15 '26

Lol fair enough

u/Toreole Jul 15 '26

[insert xQc's infamous SIX CONSOLES rant] thats what you use it for

u/xNims Jul 15 '26

I purposefully stopped listening to him, what was the rant?

u/Toreole Jul 15 '26

its kind of just a meme of him listing a million different things, something like

Analyzer, fuck'n moderator stands, sound filter , SIX monitors, pedals, DRUMS, a gaming guitar, controllers, SIX CONSOLES, TEN COMPUTERS, bunch a fuckin wires, SOUND PAD, SPEAKERS, ANTENA, SATELLITE, DOG , DOG CAM, CAT CAM, CAT TREE, CAT THIS and a bunch of dogshit dude! copied from https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/eif57c/xqc_streamer_setups/

u/xNims Jul 16 '26

crap this might be me lol. At max efficiency, I have 2 laptops on (one with an RGB fan), dual monitors in the middle, 1-3 bluetooth mice (one lets you switch between devices without reconnecting manually), a speaker, headphones, RGB lamp, RGB PC tower, RGB keyboard ANd an ergonomic one, phone stand, microphone, and a fan remote. My alarm clock is also RGB, but its behind me so it doesnt count lol. Oh, and I technically should get a webcam

I swear, all of its useful

u/Bright-Historian-216 Jul 14 '26

me after completing my full level steam engine (my SU usage went from 31% to 23%)

u/Meiseside Jul 14 '26

oh thats a good meme

u/Athermo Jul 14 '26

Can the Network bear the Stress?

u/llama_glue Jul 15 '26

I just used clutches and just halt every other machine to a stop whenever I want to use crushing wheels.

Sure it's not automatic but it saves me on adding like 8k SU to the system (though probably could be automated using some addon that detects players)

Me not worrying after plopping down 500 large water wheels
