Flow

How to build

  1. Windmill Bearing + at least 8 sails (pack minimum). Every 8 sails add 1 RPM, up to 16 RPM with 128 sails. — create:windmill_bearing, create:white_sail
  2. Capacity is 512 SU per RPM of the windmill: 16 RPM → 8 192 SU. Gearing up keeps the SU total; the faster you run machines, the fewer you can power. — create:windmill_bearing
  3. Large→small cogwheel doubles RPM. Chain a few to go from 16 to 128 RPM; a Rotation Speed Controller sets any exact speed up to 256. — create:large_cogwheel, create:cogwheel
  4. Water wheels: 32 SU/RPM, cheap but weak; Large Water Wheel 128 SU/RPM. Windmills win on skyblock. — create:water_wheel

Tips

  • More sails = more stress capacity.
  • Encased fan at max RPM superheats the Basic Burner (32× fuel).
  • Past EV Create adds nothing.
  • Big option: Huge Diesel Engine on crude biodiesel gives 12 288 SU at 224 RPM per engine; 208 engines = 2.56 M SU. Create mixer: 100 plant oil + 100 ethanol → 200 biodiesel. Unverified in game: the burn rate (config 0.05).
  • Biodiesel without oil: LCR (LV recipe), 54 B fish oil + 9 B ethanol or methanol + NaOH dust → 54 B biodiesel + 9 B glycerol in 270 s. Fish oil needs fish: the only fish source in the pack is the Industrial Fishery (IV controller).
