The Water Wheel is a source of rotational power. It generates Rotational

Force when water flows over it.

Due to the fact that the materials required to craft it are easily accessible in the
early-game, the Water Wheel serves as the earliest generator that can be made.

Total stress capacity can be increased by adding more wheels in sequence.

Usage
When water flows over a Water Wheel, it will begin to rotate. This rotational power
can be conveyed to other Components from the Water Wheels' Shaft.
As long as the water flows around the wheel in mostly one direction, the Wheel
will generate Rotational Force.

This feature used to be in the mod but has since been removed.
The water wheel has a correct direction of rotation, shown by how the blades are
oriented. Water flowing the wrong way around the wheel causes it to produce
less rotational speed and stress capacity than if the water was flowing the right
way. Having water flowing in the opposite directions might slow down the
rotational speed or even stop it. The direction of rotation is counter-clockwise
when placed standing, or clockwise when crouching.

Note that Soul Sand bubble columns can also be used to increase the speed.

The maximum SU can also be achieved in a horizontal water wheel without Soul Sand by making a single
water source block flow around the wheel.
Lava can be used as well, but this is not recommended as it produces less power
and is quite dangerous, and as such does not comply with OSHA standards.

To maximize the output from a Water Wheel (320 SU), have water flowing in the
right direction around as much of the wheel as possible, like vertically or
horizontally.

Water wheels can be placed side-by-side to add together their stress capacities.

Water wheels can also be powered by Lava and Chocolate and will grant

advancements upon doing so.

Water wheel set-ups with various powers generated.

A column of two water source blocks over a block of soul sand can drive two water wheels in opposing
directions.

Two opposing water wheels can be linked with a pair of Gearboxes and a Shaft.

Multiple water wheels may be linked together along the same axis.

Fourteen bubbled water wheels, in two rows of seven, generate enough Stress to run a pair of Crushing
Wheels at 256 RPM with the help of a Rotation Speed Controller.

History
 0.5.1:
Water Wheel fins are no longer directional.
Water Wheels now only have one speed level.
Water wheels can now take the appearance of
any reasonably implemented wood type.
 Liquid can no longer spread perpendicularly on
top of water wheels.
 Recipe changed.
 0.3.2: Can now be placed on a vertical axis.
  0.3: Can now be powered by bubble columns.
 0.1: Introduced.

I don't know how but i managed to get 352 su from them.

This page needs editing. In the 1.16.5 version, the waterwheel setup that previously gave 256
S.U. now only gives 160.

Your water wheel probably doesn't have water flowing in the right direction. Try flipping the
setup or flip your water wheels.
Razorwave123·29/04/2023
Having the same issue in create: above and beyond, maybe its just the modpack feature

Razorwave123·29/04/2023
Yep, pretty sure its modpack feature

Razorwave123·29/04/2023
Oh, i just havent read carefull, nvm...

Why does mine only get 10 rpm max?
A Fandom user·11/04/2021
I mean 12
A Fandom user·11/04/2021
I ment 12
HeroMaster137·13/04/2021
You are probably not placing the water right.
A Fandom user·06/06/2021
I think the water is flowing the wrong way
Dawerty98·18/03/2021
Why does it break, eg. when water stops flowing?
Dawerty98·18/03/2021
From what i see it happens when using 'water all around the wheel' technique + with
multiple wheels (rotation desync (some of them move the other way)).

Why does it turn purple when i place it
Dawerty98·18/03/2021
Don't be rude.

Feonid·18/03/2021
I think that's because it's overstressed - you are trying to use it power too many
components, or ones that are too fast
