Stress Units (SU)

An important aspect of Create is managing Stress Units (SU). Different power sources generate SU, and machines consume SU. Make sure your setup has enough capacity!

Rotation Speed(RP)

Rotation speed is really important too. Rotation speed controls how fast the machines work in create mod. Some machines require a specific RP. Higher RP also means higher SU so whatch out for that!
