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.

Pre-Power

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

Tier 1 (HSLA Steel)

Machines in this tier can be powered by DC Engines, Wind Turbines, or Steam Engines, depending on their power requirements. No gearboxes are necessary, only Shaft Junctions, Bevel Gears and/or Shafts.

To enter tier 1, HSLA Steel production (via a Blast Furnace) is required.

Tier 2 (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 2, Lubricant production is required (via Canola in the Grinder), as lubricant is required to be able to operate Gearboxes.

Tier 3 (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 in later tiers regardless, however AC Electric Engines may be more cost-efficient to operate long-term.

To enter tier 3, either Ethanol production (via Fermenters) or Magnetized Shaft Cores (which are magnetized in the Magnetizing Unit) are required.
