Air Starter adds an industrial air-powered starter designed to automate the startup of alternative engines when using Create and TFMG together.
This block is not a motor and does not provide continuous power. Instead, it delivers a temporary rotational output by consuming TFMG Air, simulating a real-world industrial air starter used to bring large machines up to speed.
This mod is designed to work alongside the following mods:
Create – Required for rotational mechanics and kinetic systems
TFMG (The Factory Must Grow) – Required for air generation and alternative engines
⚠️ The Air Starter will not function correctly without TFMG, as it relies exclusively on TFMG Air.
The Air Starter activates only via redstone signal
Redstone ON → produces rotation
Redstone OFF → stops immediately
While active, it generates rotation until its internal air buffer is fully drained
Once empty, it will not rotate again until refilled with air
Air capacity: 8,000 mB (TFMG Air)
Drain time: 10 seconds at full operation
Rotational output:
64 RPM
8,000 SU
Air consumption is faster than any possible refill rate, preventing feedback loops or infinite power generation
The Air Starter is designed to provide the initial rotational push required to automatically start:
Steam engines
Combustion engines
It fits perfectly into industrial automation setups, where engines require an external kick to begin operating without player interaction.
Requires stored air to function
Provides no power without air
Cannot sustain rotation indefinitely
Cannot be used as a standalone power source
Below is a short clip showing the Air Starter in action, including air consumption, redstone activation, and automated engine startup:
