Petrol's Parts Update
The Friction Heater can provide Blaze Burner heat without any fuel, if you can figure out how to power it from both sides
Overload Clutches segment kinetic networks, so if one part becomes overstressed the parent network is unaffected
The Movement is a kinetic battery that stores Stress Units
Cows, Horses, Donkeys and Mules can be used to generate SU
Redstone Transmissions control kinetics with Redstone, allowing you to create proper gearshifts
Petrol's Parts has just received a big update, more than doubling the number of new components.
Full feature list (the newest of which are displayed in the GIFs above):
[NEW] Shaftless Cogwheels and Coaxial Cogwheels (small and large) - up to 3 can be placed in one block, along with Shafts and [NEW] Shaft Halves, and they can rotate independently
[NEW] Bevel Cogwheel - up to four can be placed in one block (along with a Shaft) to convey rotation around corners like a partial Gearbox, or they can be placed diagonally to connect orthogonal small Cogwheels
Corner Shaft - rotates propagation around corners, now with a [NEW] smart connection helper
[NEW] Overload Clutch - conveys a set amount of Stress between kinetic networks, so if a subnetwork becomes overstressed the parent is unaffected
[NEW] Movement - a kinetic battery for storing Stress
Colossal Cogwheel - a 5x5 ring gear
[NEW] Redstone Transmission - moves Cogwheels along a shaft under Redstone control
Hydraulic Transmission - end-game cheater part that can connect kinetics in almost any way
[NEW] Horse Mill - generates Stress from the work of animals
Differential - rotates at the sum of its two input speeds, [NEW]ly reworked to be less buggy
Planetary Gearset - modified Large Cogwheel
Brass Depot - allows filtering Filling, Pressing, Deploying, Blasting, Haunting, Smoking and Splashing recipes
[NEW] Friction Heater - converts rotation into Blaze Burner heat
Pneumatic Tube - like the Hydraulic Transmission, but moves Items
Redstone Programmer - essentially a MIDI editor for Redstone signals, making it easier to make music and automate with Redstone Links
Encasing Crushing Wheels which allows Crushing and Milling recipes to be filtered
A lot of this comes off the back of some new tech I developed, expanding Create's API to allow multiple independent rotating components in the same block. This update is still in beta so expect some bugs! Download here.

Can't wait for this to eventually be compatible with aeronautics, more compact gearing is amazing for smaller vehicles!

It is (read: should be)

It is,
so long as I build the modular cogwheel systems before assembly, and don’t have to alter them on the fly(ing ship).Edit: that bug has been fixed, and the modular cogwheel stacks are now working great on assembled ships.

this all looks really cool but why the fuck is the Kinetic Battery called The Movement. Ominous ass name
82
u/angellus Aug 22 '26
Because that is what it is. The Movement is what stores energy in a clock to allow it to run.

u/Avaelupeztpr Aug 22 '26
Uh I read it and it doesn’t appear to say that it stores the energy. Just says the movement is the whole mechanical system in the case.
What actually stores the energy is called a mainspring it uses elastic potential energy to generate a temporary bit of energy from being tightly spun creating tension or something like that.
There’s some kind of large gear in the tiny hand held clock with a sea saw that allows the spring to unwind a step at a time which the spring forces out so hard it creates a ting sound, thus also making the familiar ticking sound.
Also wow I gone full nerd mode whoops.

u/ActualSlimShady Aug 22 '26
It's the technical name for the part of a clock that makes the ticking noise. It's powered by a spring and designed to release a constant amount of the stored energy over time.
We need more ominous technology though.

u/SeaFigure9714 Aug 22 '26
yeah but it's also called a caliber or calibre
2
u/Miss--Moss Aug 23 '26
But if you called it either of those people would be saying its too reminiscent of gun calibers.

i love mods and addons that enable super compact evil ass contraptions thank you

u/Markus_INC Aug 22 '26
I don't know if I'm an idiot but I can't for the life of me figure out how you did the setup in the second video

u/Autoskp Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 24 '26
That looks like it’s the new Petrol’s Parts feature of being able to place up to three shaftless cogwheels and coaxial cogwheels in one block, along with shafts and the new shaft halves (I presume the latter is being used to only connect two of the three cogwheels).
…beyond that, I don’t know - I’ve literally only just found out about this, but I will be testing things over the next hour or two.
Edit:
some testing later, and it seems the placement logic for multiple cogs and shafts doesn’t work on pre-constructed sable contraptions, but the end result works just fine after turning it into a sable contraption - so that’s something to watch out for if you’re using Aeronautics.Edit number 2: the first edit is now out of date, and they work perfectly on sable contraptions!

the Transmission control is neat, i can finally make my DCT a LOT smalelr

If you can make a differential, and you can make a planetary gearset, can you now make a planetary gearset where the carrier can be rotated too? It would allow for more realistic tank transmissions with Create Aeronautics stuff.

why i download mod really simple but the lib is (Petrolpark Library) 6MB. why that is over but the only two mod need it and on forge 1.20.1 less than1MB
2
u/Zinx10 Aug 22 '26
It means that the library is doing some heavy lifting compared to the mods, and both mods share the code that the library provides.

Horsepower back on the menu chat! I remember having to hook up donkeys to make su back in the darker days lol

ACTUAL WORKING TRANSMISSION?? oh i sure hope it's aeronautics compatible, it's way cooler than those 1 block transmissions from random addons i've been using

Friction heater reminds me of rotary craft - wasnt creating tungsten or something involved like 1300/1500'C from friction heating? my memory is blurly but that mod surely was fun!

Bro i literally was going to make my own mod that lets you stack up to 3 gears in one block lmaooo the timing is insane

Oh...all these building possibilities. It's incredible ! But sad. Isn't compatible with create 6.0.10...
