Create: Propulsion

is an addon for Create and Valkyrien Skies 2 adding new ways to propel and control your crafts, all in Create mod style!

What does it add?

Methods of propulsion

• Thruster: Provides thrust to vehicles. Controllable by redstone.
• Creative Thruster: Produces a variable amount of thrust based on redstone signal level and its configuration. Particle type is configurable.
• Propeller: A new method of propulsion that requires RPM, blades, and some empty space around them. Comes with 3 different blade types: Wooden, Copper and Andesite blades.

Redstone components

• Inline Optical Sensor: Basic and small raycast block detector.
• Optical Sensor: Configurable raycast block detector. Set target distance and filter by block type.
• Lodestone Tracker: Tracks lodestone blocks with compass bound to them.
• Redstone Transmission: A block that allows precise control of RPM with redstone signals. Has two modes: Direct and Incremental.

Hot Air Balloons

• Envelope: Serves as a shell for balloons. Can be dyed.
• Enveloped shaft: Allows to pass rotation through the envelope without creating a hole in the balloon.
• Hot Air Burner: An early-game way to fill balloons with hot air. Burns solid fuels.
• Hot Air Pump: Requires rotation and heat source to produce a large amount of hot air. RPM can be used to finely control the amount of hot air injected, and therefore altitude.

Heat system

• Solid Burner: Produces a moderate amount of heat by burning solid fuels.
• Liquid Burner: Produces a large amount of heat by burning liquid fuels. Allows liquid to pass through it.
• Stirling engine: Generates RPM when heat is provided from below.

Miscellaneous stuff

• Redstone Magnet: Attracts or repels other magnets based on polarity.
• Physics Assembler: Assembles blocks into physical entities.
• Tilt Adapter: Allows to rotate shafts by set angles. In combination with a mechanical bearing, it can be used to create control surfaces for planes.

FAQ:

When will you add Create 6 support?

• Create: Propulsion is already compatible with Create 6!

Will Create: Propulsion be ported to Fabric?

• Yes, not sure when though.

Thrusters (or other feature) is over/underpowered

• Modify corresponding values in configuration menu. Pretty much everything is configurable!

Is there any compat with Computer Craft?

• Yes, see Wiki.

Do you plan to add X?

• Check my Discord for roadmap.
