Age of Steam AW2 Generators
Age of Steam AW2 Generators brings three Ancient Warfare 2 styled power generators, a water wheel, a windmill and a Stirling engine, to the Age of Steam mod on NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
The mod adds three power generators styled after the Ancient Warfare 2 machines and built on the Age of Steam base. The Water Wheel Generator is the simplest source, cheap to build and giving a usable amount of power at low speeds. The Windmill Generator is much larger and can reach high output, but its blades spin fast enough to break weak axles, and it produces nothing when the wind is still.
Stirling Generator burns any fuel that burns. It delivers less force than the water wheel or the windmill, yet it holds a steady torque at higher speeds, so it often needs fewer gearboxes. The mod requires Age of Steam, which must be installed beside it.
Files are published for NeoForge only, covering the 1.21 and 1.21.1 game versions, with 1.0.13 for 1.21.1 as the latest build. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is released under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
