# Create Photomovement<\/p>\n
A Create mod addon that adds **solar-powered rotation sources** to your mechanical contraptions!<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### Solar Generator
\nA reliable, vertical-facing power source.<\/p>\n
– **Generation**: 16 RPM and 16 SU (constant)
\n– **Requirement**: Light Level 12+ (needs direct sky access)
\n– **Weather**: Speed is halved to 8 RPM during rain
\n– **Orientation**: Must be placed with the glass panel facing up
\n– **Compatibility**: Check status with Engineer’s Goggles<\/p>\n
### Horizontal Solar Generator
\nA directional variant that tracks the sun’s position.<\/p>\n
– **Dynamic Output**:
\n – **East Facing**: Peak generation in the morning
\n – **West Facing**: Peak generation in the evening
\n– **Smart Obstruction System**:
\n – **Block touching face**: Stops generation (0 RPM)
\n – **Block within 2-10 blocks**: Reduced output
\n– **Weather**: Speed is halved during rain<\/p>\n
### Advanced Solar Generator (NEW in 0.2.0!)
\nA powerful upgrade with brass casing for 2x power output.<\/p>\n
– **Generation**: 32 RPM and 32 SU (double the basic version!)
\n– **Requirement**: Same as basic Solar Generator
\n– **Weather**: Speed is halved to 16 RPM during rain
\n– **Crafting**: Upgrade your basic generator with brass components<\/p>\n
### Horizontal Advanced Solar Generator (NEW in 0.2.0!)
\nThe horizontal version of the advanced generator.<\/p>\n
– **Generation**: 32 RPM base with dynamic stress capacity
\n– **Dynamic Output**: Same sun-tracking behavior as the basic horizontal
\n– **Weather**: Speed is halved during rain<\/p>\n
### Solar Windmill Bearing & Solar Sails
\nFor massive power generation, build a custom solar array!<\/p>\n
#### Solar Windmill Bearing
\nWorks like a standard Windmill Bearing but is optimized for Solar Sails.
\n– **Connection**: Attaches to Solar Sails (and standard sails).
\n– **Output**: Generates **Stress Units (SU)** based on sail count and weather.
\n– **Requirement**: Needs sky access to benefit from solar multipliers.<\/p>\n
#### Solar Sails
\nSpecialized sails that harness sunlight for boosted power.
\n– **Material**: Translucent, comes in all 16 colors + clear.
\n– **Efficiency**:
\n – **Sunny**: 2x power output (compared to white sails).
\n – **Raining**: 1.5x power output.
\n – **Night\/Thunder\/Covered**: 1x power output (same as white sails).<\/p>\n
| Sails | Speed (RPM) | Standard SU | Solar (Rain) SU | Solar (Sunny) SU |
