- Note: What is actually built is the Stator. The rotor needs to be built separately after the stator is completed.
- Note: rotor is named motor in the youtube videos.
The Rotor is a powered block that has ability to rotate one of its sides.
Controls
A rotor may be configured with the following options:

| Title | Upper limit | Lower limit | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torque | 0 Nm | 33.6 MNm | Strength of the rotor, how fast it will accelerate; applied when the rotor is turned on |
| Braking torque | 0 Nm | 33.6 MNm | Braking strength of the rotor, how fast it will stop; applied when the rotor is turned off |
| Velocity | -30 rpm | 30 rpm | Target velocity of the rotor; rotor will accelerate until target velocity is reached |
| Lower limit | unlimited | 360° | Lower angular limit |
| Upper limit | -360° | unlimited | Upper angular limit |
These settings can be used in order to create different functions with the rotors such as building gates.
Known issues
V01.079.008:
Rotors are currently known for beeing unstable. They work good in single player. But in multiplayer, especially when used on a dedicated server (DS), they tend to move/vibrate unecpectedly and can also destroy themselves and damage their surroundings in the proccess.
