RotaryCraft is a mod centering around rotational (shaft) power. It implements various ways to produce, transmit, store, and use this power. ElectriCraft and ReactorCraft are both extensions to RotaryCraft.

Progression

Unlike many other mods, RotaryCraft requires progression through multiple tiers of machines and power systems sequentially, preventing you from skipping to later tiers before you have the requirements from previous tiers ready. Advancing tiers is usually done by setting up higher-power engines.

Note that machines can be powered from a maximum of 4 engines total. This is to prevent bypassing higher tier requirements by using many lower-tier engines.

The below list is a guideline only. Especially in later tiers, you have some freedom in which engines to use, the order in which to set up production of various resources, and what you decide to make. This list is provided as a starting point to build your own progression from. There are also many machines and items that may be of utility outside of the direct progression advancements.

Tier 0 (Entry Level)

This tier includes everything in the mod that can be done before anything else is set up.

Tier 3 (Lubricant)

Machines in this tier can still be powered by only DC Engines, Wind Turbines, or Steam Engines, depending on their power requirements. However, Gearboxes are required to power these machines from any of those engines.

To enter tier 3, Lubricant production is required (via Canola in the Grinder), as lubricant is required to be able to operate Gearboxes.

Tier 4 (Ethanol)

Machines in this tier can be powered by Gasoline Engines (requiring Ethanol) or AC Electric Engines (requiring Magnetized Shaft Cores). Ethanol will be required regardless, however AC Electric Engines may be more cost-efficient to operate long-term. No gearboxes above steel are required yet.

To enter tier 4, Ethanol production (via Fermenters) is required.
