Overview

The Advanced Rotor is a block that lets the player place blocks on top and rotate them. It is in all respects similar to the Rotor, except that it allows objects to pass through it via the Conveyor System. Its functions are identical of that of the original rotor. The other difference is that the advanced rotor is larger.

Usage

Simply place the advanced rotor block, and then place any blocks on top. To rotate the advanced rotor, go into the control panel and adjust the velocity to either a positive or negative value. The higher the value, the faster the rotor will spin. The amount of mass the rotor has on top will affect its speed and torque. The more mass, the slower it will go (even at high velocity). It is possible for the advanced rotor to break apart if the mass is too great, or the base it is placed on is unstable. To learn how to use rotors, see this guide:

The main feature advanced rotor is that it can connect to Conveyor blocks and transfer items through it (even while rotating). This requires no setup by the player, just place any conveyor or inventory block on-top of it, and it will be ready to use.

Control Panel

Reverse Reverses the velocity (rotation direction) of the rotor
Torque Amount of force (strength) applied behind the rotor rotation
Braking tor. Amount of force applied against the rotor in order to stop the rotation
Velocity The speed of which the rotor rotates
Lower limit The maximum limit the rotor can rotate counter-clockwise
Upper limit The maximum limit the rotor can rotate clockwise
Rotor displacement Adjusts the distance between the base of the rotor and the rotor head

Tips

  • The advanced rotor consists of two blocks. The top and base are both two different blocks.
  • The block must be powered to transfer items through it
  • If you delete / destroy the top part of the rotor, you must build a new advanced rotor because there is no top block in the block list.
