The exported Create server configuration records several rules that directly affect engineering choices on this server. These are useful when dimensioning belts, contraptions, fans and parcel routes.
Kinetic and logistics limits
- Stress mechanics are enabled; networks must be sized rather than assumed unlimited.
- Maximum kinetic rotation speed is recorded as 256 RPM.
- Mechanical belts are limited to 20 blocks per belt connection.
- Chain Conveyor connections are limited to 32 blocks and each conveyor may have up to 4 connections.
- A Windmill requires at least 8 sail-type blocks; the config records 8 additional sails per RPM increase.
Processing and movement limits
- Bulk Pressing and Bulk Cutting are disabled in the exported settings.
- Fan processing takes 150 game ticks and fan push/pull reach is limited to 20 blocks.
- Moving contraptions are limited to 2048 blocks; chassis attachment range is limited to 16.
- Mechanical Piston extension is limited to 64 poles and Rope Pulley length to 384 blocks.
- Harvesters replant crops and do not harvest partially grown crops.
Learning workflow
- Start with Ponder and a recipe viewer, then build a small working example before committing to a large aesthetic structure.
- Make power, item movement and output storage visible during testing; hide machinery only once it is reliable.
Commissioning checklist
- Confirm the recipe or intended action.
- Confirm motion reaches the working block.
- Confirm outputs have somewhere to go.
- Label or document any shared control.
How to approach a Create build
A successful Create project normally begins as a small demonstrator rather than a complete factory. Build the smallest version that proves the power path, recipe and output handling, then wrap architecture around a mechanism that already works.
Keep your first machines deliberately visible. Create is at its best when players can understand the line by walking alongside it: rotation enters, items advance, a machine performs an action and finished stock reaches storage.
Before you expand
Confirm that the process runs continuously without manual rescue, that output storage cannot immediately jam the line, and that someone other than the builder can understand how to turn it on or restock it.
