Man Power Create

Human-, mob- and steam-powered generators for Create. Run in a giant wooden hamster wheel or on a treadmill, put your pigs, horses and iron golems to work, store the power in a Gravity Battery, and build a steam network powered by the sun, the deep earth or a boiler.

Requires Create 6 on NeoForge 1.21.1.

Hamster Wheel

A 2 x 5 x 5 wooden treadwheel with a Create shaft in the centre of the back.

• Run it yourself: right-click to climb in, hold W to run (or S to reverse), sneak to step out. Running makes you a little hungry.
• Or let a mob run it: any mob can go in, from chickens to iron golems. Bring it with a lead, pick it up with a Mob Harness, or carry it in with Carry On.
• Size matters: bigger runners give more stress capacity at lower RPM; smaller runners spin faster with less.
• Speed matters: every runner's in-game movement speed sets how fast it spins things, so a villager outruns a cow, and speed potions help.

• Horses use their stats: a faster horse spins it faster, and a higher jumper pushes more SU.
• Your wood, your wheel: the wheel is built from whatever planks you craft it with, modded planks included.

Treadmill

Prefer something flat? The Treadmill is 3 x 5 x 1 and works just like the Hamster Wheel: run on it yourself or put any mob on it. Runner size and horse stats still count, and it's built from your planks. The shaft comes out of the side of the front roller.

Gravity Battery

Store rotational power by lifting a heavy weight, and get it back as it falls.

• 3 x 3 x 3 base in Create's wood-and-andesite style, with windows so you can watch the weight. Grows up to 5 x 5 x 27.
• Both shafts work both ways: wrench a shaft to switch it between Output and Lift.
• Output: 64 RPM at 512 SU to start. Every upgrade raises both RPM and SU, up to 200 RPM and 10,240 SU.
• Lift: set the lift power on the shaft's value box. The more RPM and SU you put in, the faster it charges, up to 10x faster than it drains by default.
• Grow it: stack Tower pieces on top (+30 min, +8 RPM, +256 SU each) and add Gravity Weights (+512 SU, +8 RPM). A Wide Tower rebuilds the battery as 5x5 for double SU, double run time and +32 RPM.
• Redstone: a signal on any block can stop or start the drop (right-click with Redstone Dust to choose). Comparators read the charge.

Stress Governor

A 2 x 2 smart gearbox built from Create parts: Andesite Casing, Gearbox ends, a Display Board front and a throttle lever on top. It watches how much SU your input network can spare and how much your machines need, then slows the output just enough to never overstress, and speeds back up when power frees up. Its Display Board shows input and output RPM, load and status at a glance, and you set its speed limit with the throttle lever on top.

Steam power

Steam in Man Power Create carries its pressure (PSI and bar) through blue-grey Steam Pipes, which need no pump and keep that pressure (but leak from open ends, like Create's pipes). Steam travels 5x further through pipes than water does.

• Solar Tracker: build a column from Create blocks (Gearbox, Encased Chain Drive, 1-8 blocks of scaffolding like the new Steel Scaffolding) and top it with the Solar Tracker Head. Turn the Gearbox and it tilts a tray of up to 15 Solar Panels to follow the sun. Pipe water in and get steam out. No rotation and the panels freeze.
• Geothermal Heater: go underground. The deeper it is, the faster it boils water and the higher the pressure.
• Steam Boiler: put a heater, like a Blaze Burner, under a Steam Tank and it becomes a boiler. Pipe water in and it boils it into steam. More heat, more steam: a fueled burner makes 10 mB per tick at 20 PSI, a superheated one 20 mB at 40 PSI, and wider tanks fit more burners.
• Steam Tank: a copper tank wrapped in blue-grey steel that stores steam (joins into big tanks like Create's). Steam can only be stored in Steam Tanks; Create's Fluid Tanks won't take it.
• Steam Tank Engine: Create's Steam Engine in blue-grey, running on steam pressure. One Steam Tank block runs one engine at full power; on a Steam Pipe it runs at half power. A throttle lever on the tank sets the power.
• Heat Coil: turns steam back into heat for Basins, boilers and cooking items: kindled on any steam, superheated at 125 PSI or more.
• Steam Hammer and Steam Arm: Create's Mechanical Press and Mechanical Arm in blue-grey, running on steam instead of a shaft, faster the higher the pressure.
• Steam Condenser: turns spent steam back into water.
• Steam-to-Air Generator: got PneumaticCraft: Repressurized? Put it between your Steam Pipes and Pressure Tubes to charge them with compressed air at the steam's pressure.
• Got Create: Simulated? Stick its Throttle Lever on a Steam Tank to control the throttle with it.

Insulated fluid parts

Water in Create's pipes, pumps, tanks and Portable Fluid Interfaces now boils away in the Nether and freezes in snowy biomes. Wrap them in wool for insulated versions that work exactly like Create's but keep water safe: Water Pipe (which can even pump water through a Nether Portal), Glass, Encased and Smart Pipes, Fluid Valve, Mechanical Pump, Fluid Tank (joins into 2x2 and 3x3 tanks), and the Insulated Portable Fluid Interface for contraptions.

Redstone output

Every machine gives a comparator signal from any of its blocks, showing its speed or its stress (and charge on the Gravity Battery). Right-click it with a Redstone Comparator to switch.

Riding Goggles

They work as Create's Engineer's Goggles, so you see the speed and stress of your machines. Look at any mob to see what it would make in a hamster wheel, plus its health, speed, jump, owner, and everything it's holding or wearing, all on a see-through panel.

Mob Harness

Right-click any mob to pick it up (hostile or huge, it doesn't matter), then right-click a wheel to put it to work.

Configurable

Every number (RPM, SU, run times, lift speed, mob rules, steam pressure and output, panel opacity) is in manpowercreate-common.toml and manpowercreate-client.toml.

Compatibility

• Required: Create 6.0.6 or newer on NeoForge 1.21.1
• Optional: Carry On (carried mobs go straight into a wheel), PneumaticCraft: Repressurized (Steam-to-Air Generator), Create: Simulated (Throttle Lever)
