Introduction to FTB Rickety Water Wheel Modification
This mod provides a simple yet practical addition to Create mechanics, introducing a unique block to the game - a water wheel with limited lifespan. Unlike the standard Create counterpart, this mechanism gradually wears out during active operation.
Functional Features
The new water wheel completely replicates the capabilities of the small version from the Create mod, delivering identical performance of 32.0 stress units. However, the key difference lies in the wear system - the block loses durability each tick when connected to a mechanical system and experiencing working load.
Usage Dynamics
Smart players can significantly extend the mechanism's lifespan by using a clutch to temporarily disconnect the wheel from the power transmission system during idle periods. The initial durability is set at 36,000 ticks, equivalent to approximately 30 minutes of continuous operation. These parameters are fully customizable through the configuration file.
Parameter Configuration
The modification offers a flexible configuration system:
- max_durability in ricketyww-common.toml file - control of maximum durability
- water_wheel_stress_capacity - adjustment of output power
Practical Application
The mod is primarily designed for modified pack developers, who can use this water wheel as an early energy alternative, adding an element of resource planning and technical maintenance to the game progression.
