Custom Machinery Create in FTB StoneBlock 4

Custom Machinery Create is an addon for the Custom Machinery mod that adds Create integration. With it, a custom machine can interact with Create's contraption system, specifically kinetic speed and stress.^[1]

It needs both Custom Machinery and Create installed to work. This pack ships version 1.2.7.^[1][2]

What it supports

• Kinetic speed and stress, so a custom machine can take part in Create's rotational network.^[1]
• The schematic cannon, listed as a currently supported Create feature.^[1]
• Full compatibility with KubeJS and CraftTweaker for creating machine recipes.^[1]

Who it is for

This is a builder's tool rather than a standalone content mod. It is for people who define their own machines with Custom Machinery and want those machines to work with Create's kinetic mechanics. The KubeJS and CraftTweader support means machine recipes can be scripted.^[1]

Where it fits in progression

Unverified The sources I have don't show where this mod fits in the pack's progression. I found no quests involving it, it is not on the ATM Star path, and I couldn't confirm any in-pack machines or recipes that use it, so treat any such claim as unverified.

Here's the honest starting point: this mod doesn't give you a ready-made machine to craft. It's an addon for Custom Machinery that adds Create integration, so the machines you build with it can interact with Create's contraption system, meaning kinetic speed and stress.^[1]

Because it's an addon, it needs both Custom Machinery and Create installed. Get comfortable with basic Create rotation first (a power source, shafts and some stress capacity), since that's what these machines plug into.^[1]

What the mod adds

• Kinetic speed and stress support, so a custom machine can require rotation or provide it.^[1]
• Schematiccanon support.^[1]
• Machine recipes can be made with KubeJS and CraftTweaker.^[1]

Reading a machine's kinetic info

A machine that uses rotation can show its kinetic requirements in its info. A machine that consumes rotation shows a required speed in RPM and a stress impact as a multiple of RPM. A machine that produces rotation shows an output speed in RPM and a stress capacity, also as a multiple of RPM. Some machines also note that their processing speed scales with rotation speed, so faster rotation means faster work.^[3]

Unverified I couldn't confirm any in-pack recipes, quests or a fixed first-items order for this mod, so there are no recipe blocks here. Machines come from whatever the pack defines through Custom Machinery, and I can't say which ones exist or how to craft them.

Custom Machinery Create is an addon for Custom Machinery that adds Create integration. It lets a custom machine interact with Create's contraption system, specifically kinetic speed and stress. It needs both Custom Machinery and Create installed to work.^[1]

Supported Create features

• Kinetic speed and stress: a custom machine can take part in Create's rotation network.^[1]
• Schematiccanon: the addon currently lists this as a supported Create feature, alongside kinetic speed and stress.^[1]

How rotation works on a machine

The addon's in-game tooltips show how a machine relates to your Create network. A machine can display a required speed in RPM, meaning the rotation speed it needs from your setup.^[3]

Some machines also have a scaling note: processing speed scales with rotation speed. If that note shows, spinning the machine faster should make it process faster, and slower rotation should slow it down.^[3]

Machines can also give rotation back. The tooltips can show an output speed in RPM, plus a stress capacity. Stress impact and stress capacity are both shown as a multiplier of RPM, so the load on your network depends on the speed you run at.^[3]

Recipes and scripting

The addon is also compatible with KubeJS and CraftTweaker for creating machine recipes. Any machine recipes in this pack may therefore have been defined through scripts.^[1]

FTB StoneBlock 4 1.21.0 includes Custom Machinery Create 1.2.7, and the mod has been in the pack since 1.0.0 or earlier. Here are the notable changes from the mod's own changelogs.^[2]

Mod releases

• 1.2.3: updated to the latest Custom Machinery version.^[4]
• 1.2.4: fixed a conflict with Create Aeronautics and added a PT_BR localization.^[5]
• 1.2.7: fixed a crash with the contraption component. This is the version your pack runs.^[2][6]
