Create Photomovement Mod extends Create with solar-powered rotation sources for your mechanical contraptions. This addon lets you harness daylight to produce rotational force without burning fuel. It introduces vertical generators, directional sun-tracking blocks, and specialized sails that generate stress capacity based on weather and sunlight levels.
Features:
Adds sunlight-driven rotation sources to run mechanical setups without fuel or water wheels.
Vertical solar generators produce 16 RPM and 16 Stress Units when placed under direct sky access with light level 12 or higher.
Rain cuts the rotational speed of basic and advanced generators in half.
Horizontal solar generators change output depending on the sun’s position, peaking east in the morning and west in the afternoon.
Obstruction mechanics reduce or stop horizontal generator output when solid blocks block their line of sight.
Advanced brass generators double total power output to 32 RPM and 32 Stress Units.
Solar Windmill Bearings work with specialized sails to create large solar-powered kinetic setups.
Solar sails come in 16 dyed colors plus a clear version, doubling output in full sun and boosting output during rain.
Players can inspect generation status and stress capacity directly using Engineer’s Goggles.

How to Use:
Place a Solar Generator under open sky with its glass panel facing upward.
Connect shafts or cogwheels to the kinetic output faces of the generator block.
Face Horizontal Solar Generators toward the east for morning power or west for afternoon peak power.
Keep clear space in front of horizontal panels to prevent output drops from block obstructions.
Attach Solar Sails to a Solar Windmill Bearing under open sky to generate large amounts of stress capacity.
Equip Engineer’s Goggles to monitor RPM and Stress Unit generation in real time.
