Create: Fuel Motor - Fuel Engine for Create Mechanics

Create: Fuel Motor is an addon for the Create mod that offers an innovative way to obtain rotational force using consumable items as fuel. No redstone, no electricity - just combustible materials and motion!

How It Works

The Fuel Motor block functions as a source of kinetic energy, similar to existing motors from Create, but with a crucial difference - it operates on fuel items instead of creative or electrical power sources.

Key operational features:

• Fuel Loading: The motor is equipped with a built-in inventory with one fuel slot, accepting any items defined in a custom recipe type (motor_fuel).
• Automatic Collection: The device can automatically pick up fuel items dropped nearby, within a configurable collection radius.

Burn Time and Load: Each fuel type determines burn time (duration of energy generation) and load capacity (maximum kinetic load it can handle).

Adjustable Speed: A scroll wheel interface allows you to control output RPM, with limitations configurable via the common.toml file.

Examples of Fuel Types:

1. Coal

   • Description: Reliable fuel that burns for a long time, providing stable power to your motor.
   • Burn Time: 900 ticks (45 seconds). 900/20 = 45s
   • Power Output: 1235 Stress Units (SU) per tick.

2. Charcoal

   • Description: Slightly less efficient alternative to coal, but still a reliable choice for early power generation.
   • Burn Time: 900 ticks (45 seconds). (900/20 = 45s)
   • Power Output: 1150 SU per tick.

3. Planks

   • Description: Basic fuel source, ideal for early setups, but burns out quickly.
   • Burn Time: 100 ticks (5 seconds). (100/20 = 5s)
   • Power Output: 720 SU per tick.

4. Blaze Powder

   • Description: Magical fuel that burns with intense heat, providing a short but powerful burst of energy.
   • Burn Time: 500 ticks (25 seconds). (500/20 = 25s)
   • Power Output: 1934 SU per tick.

Main Features

1. Full integration with Create mod's kinetic system.
2. Tooltip integration via Goggles shows current burn status, remaining time, and active fuel.
3. Emits flame and smoke particles when active for visual feedback.
4. Compatibility with Forge 1.20.1.

Getting Started

1. Place a Fuel Motor in the world.
2. Load fuel through the interface or drop items near it.
3. Watch as it generates stress units and powers your contraptions!

Whether you're building a compact factory or a complex kinetic system, Create: Fuel Motor offers an engaging and customizable way to generate motion using your own fuel types.
