Which Electricity Addon for Create is Right For You? Create: New Age VS Crafts and Additions

the factory must grow is a very in depth alternative!

Bro new age is the way to go
You do 5 magnets horizontally with the pre netherite tier, super cheap, like 1 diamond 4 gold, do a basic 50% heat capped steam engine, its going to do 140 something k, 5 coils will do 150k something max, its 80% eff (already better than c&a) plus motors go 256 from get go. ''oh motor expensive'' just do more of the cheap one with the booster, gold cable goes 4k zeus and the 140k su engine caps bellow, gold in 1.16 is super cheap since the nether update. Meanwhile the alternator and generator recipes suck to automate + you need 9 of them per 50% heat engine, plus the motor only goes 192 so you need to ramp it again, plus you are hard capped 75% whereas late game new age you get 98%

You forgot to show what happens if the reactor is broken while its in use or you didnt know it:)

i wish videos like these existed when i was younger

I just simply dont get the matter of these mods. There is a literal endless energy called redstone in the game. Why do we need to produce energy out of kynetics? I could get the point if it removes all redstone relations and focuses on how we gain electricity irl. But it those none of these??

I mean the new age netherite magnet section was moving REALLY slowly and also you can stack multiple coils

After the TMFG update, I tend to use that, with less addons everything is more organized and I like the approach for TMFG

Ya but nuclear power

how do you wear the pale gold amulet

I still remember when no one knew about create, when the test footage had like 2000 views

I just use both, its easier

Cannot wait for Mechano to come out

I usually use both. But also, as long as New Age continues to have a problem with motors erasing themselves from existence when being loaded, I will be mad at it (and still use it, just with chunkloaders).

Also, take a look at The Factory Must Grow; it may look like it's all about oil, but it also has electricity too.

I want some hardcore challanges. For that, ı am using New Age! And ı think it is more detailed.

I generally just find New Age more fun. Generating electricity with just one block is boring and goes against what Create is all about, but Crafts & Additions is still worth having for all of the other stuff it adds

both

should be said, the energy being used by new age motors directly corolates to the su made

I thought the nuclear reactor was going to explode & I was worried for real

i would like to use my Electricity created by other mods to get su

new age's models and textures look TERRIBLE. just awful. that's honestly the biggest reason i don't use it.

I wanted to use both in my world with other addons too but sadly New Age is not really compatible with Optifine and whenever I wanted to put down an Energizer, it crashed my game so I needed to get rid of it :/

you can just use both, i do that and get the best of both

I tend to use mekanism and immersive engineering with create along with big reactors.

I mean if you use the nuclear reactor from new age to power the Addons it’s a win win

Does the new age thing allow to power machines from other mods, for example Immersive Engineering?

Are they compatible together ?

Every server I have seen uses both

crafts and additions is more vanilla friendly it has better textures and models and isnt extremely complicated so i think its better

ngl new age is dog man. ITS NOT LETTING ME EVEN USE THE CABLES (it does work for electricity, but I cannot TRANSFER it.)

new age is better, i can explain so you only get a minimum of 50 energy from the coil and the netherite magnets, however u can expand on that with more coils and netherite magnets bumping its energy up higher then 50

You’re better off using immersive engineering for connecting energy together.

Are there any mods that convert FE to Redstone?

How do you make generator coils in new age

I think both is useful because uh I forgot makes forge energy which can allow compatibility with many other mods

Me to Build Plant Nuclear Power station
Power output: 1 Million

can you store electricity from create new age in the "battery" (accumilators) and then use that power with create new age again? (and can i somehow use relays in the create new age mod combined with crafts and additions)

Adjustable chain drives too

And to that I say, why can’t we have both

Hbm’s nuclear tech does that too… like 20x better

I like that it uses Thorium, instead of Uranium

i like new age more purely for its progression feeling
i much prefer having early innefficient things that lead into lategame power houses than 1 mid game thing that will be it
(outside of wire connectors but those dont really feel impactful to me)
plus the aesthetic of new age is much cooler

Tbh I use the Thermal series for my electricity needs coupled with immersive Engineering. Thermal machines are AMAZING but are a PAIN to power and Immersive power is awesome but you can only scale it slowly. I can see how Create could allow for a gear shifting system for charging Immersive Tools stupidly fast or generating massive power for walls of Thermal Machines. I’m gonna have to try these for myself. Been needing something to replace Nuclearcraft in 1.20.

Me in steampunk with more than 500 mods added (steampunk has 331 mods and I added 500 so there’s 831 mods XDDD

I think crafts n addition is better cause it's more compact and easier to use

"In terms of power generation" bro had the netherite coil spinning insanely slow, it would produce a lot more if given more rpm, which is what you're supposed to do

New age can go upwards of 17,000 fe/tick with a good generator.

I wonder if the connectors and connecting to the connectors...

They're both compatible with each other just use both
