Which Create: New Age config options matter?
4 parts
Same as in the FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.10.0 guide
Create: New Age is configurable, and this pack only changes two values from the mod defaults. Everything else in the config files matches the mod default, so the options below are the ones worth knowing about.[1][2]
What the pack changed
- conductivityMultiplier is 1.25 in this pack. The mod default is 1. It multiplies wire conductivity.[1]
- suToEnergy is 0.09 in this pack. The mod default is 0.029296875. It controls how much energy is generated per 1 stress unit in a tick. The mod's default is meant to be compatible with the default configuration of Create: Crafts and Additions.[1]
Motors
All motor values are the mod defaults in this pack. The speed is the top speed, the stress is the generated SU, and the capacity is the internal energy capacity.[1]
- Basic motor: Motors.basicMotorSpeed is 128, Motors.basicMotorStress is 512 and Motors.basicMotorCapacity is 16,000.[1]
- Advanced motor: Motors.advancedMotorSpeed is 256, Motors.advancedMotorStress is 2,048 and Motors.advancedMotorCapacity is 64,000.[1]
- Reinforced motor: Motors.reinforcedMotorSpeed is 256, Motors.reinforcedMotorStress is 8,192 and Motors.reinforcedMotorCapacity is 128,000.[1]
- Motors.motorSuMultiplier is 1, the maximum motor SU multiplier.[1]
The motor extensions are also at their defaults. The basic extension has a multiplier of 2 and extra capacity of 64,000. The advanced extension has a multiplier of 8 and extra capacity of 256,000. These are set by [[config:config/create_new_age-common.toml#Motor Extensions.basicMotorExtensionMultiplier]], [[config:config/create_new_age-common.toml#Motor Extensions.basicMotorExtensionExtraCapacity]], [[config:config/create_new_age-common.toml#Motor Extensions.advancedMotorExtensionMultiplier]] and [[config:config/create_new_age-common.toml#Motor Extensions.advancedMotorExtensionExtraCapacity]].[1]
Heat and reactors
- overheatingMultiplier is 1. Set it to -1 to disable overheating.[1]
- ReactorRodHeat is 30 heat per tick for a reactor rod. ReactorRodHeatLoss is 25 heat per tick lost above 16000*overheatingMultiplier.[1]
- maxRodsInDirection is 32, the number of reactor rods a fuel inserter or heat vent can have in one direction.[1]
- Radiation and explosions are set in the server file. Geiger counter sounds, nausea from radiation and fire from a charged rod's explosion are all true. Reactor.radiationDamageExplosionScale is 2 and Reactor.reactorOverheatExplosionMultiplier is 0.9.[3]
Wires
maxWireLength is 16, maxPathfindingDepth is 24 and maxCoils is 8. All of these are mod defaults. On the client side, wireSectionsPerMeter is 10 and wireThickness is 0.03. Lowering the sections value can theoretically improve performance.[1][4]
