Generating and Transferring Electrical Energy in Create: New Age

guide

This guide explains how to generate electrical energy and move it using wires in Create: New Age. Electrical energy is a new system introduced by this addon for the Create mod.

Generating Electricity

To generate electricity, use Generator Coils. These blocks produce electricity when they are rotating and are surrounded by magnets. The electricity generated by Generator Coils can be collected using the Carbon Brushes block.

Generator Coils do not create their own rotation; they only produce electricity when rotated by an external source.

The amount of electricity generated from a given rotational stress unit (SU) depends on the magnetic force of the surrounding magnets. As the magnetic force around the Generator Coils increases, a higher percentage of SU is converted into electricity.

There are different levels of efficiency for electricity generation:

  • An efficiency of 33.3% is possible.
  • An efficiency of 50.0% is possible.

However, increasing the efficiency of electricity generation also increases the amount of SU consumed by the Generator Coils.

Wiring

Wires are used to move electrical energy from one location to another. These blocks automatically send their energy to adjacent blocks.

A Connector block can pull energy from the block it is placed on. To enable this, the Connector must be switched to 'Pull' mode using a wrench. 'Pull' mode is intended for compatibility with other mods and cannot be used to extract energy from the internal storage of an energizer or motor.
