Fan is a rotational block added by [[Mod:PolyFactory|PolyFactory]]. It can be placed in any direction, similar to a dropper. When connected and powered with rotational force, it will push any entity (including the player) in direction it's facing with force proportional to distance from the fan, distance from fan to a wall, and the speed it's rotating. By using the [[PolyFactory:Wrench|Wrench]], it can be rotated or set to "reverse" mode, which makes it pull entities instead.

=== Movement ===
Fans will move an entity direction it's facing with force proportional to distance from the fan, using this formula, where ''d'' is the distance from the fan to the entity, ''l'' is the length between the fan and the closest fan-preventing block<ref>Up until the length is not less than speed * 20 * 0.98 ^ length</ref>, ''s'' is the rotation speed, and ''m'' is the movement multiplier<ref>[[PolyFactory:Stable Ground]] sets this to 0, otherwise 1</ref>:
push = max(s * (l - d) / (l + 1) * 0.98 ^ l * m, 0);

=== Obtaining ===
It can be crafted using [[PolyFactory:Steel|Steel Plate]], [[PolyFactory:Axle|Axle]], [[Minecraft:Iron Ingot|Iron Ingot]] and [[Minecraft:Iron Bars|Iron Bars]].

PolyFactory:Windmill

Daniel99j: Added formulas for windmill speed and stress

{{Infobox block
| title = Windmill
| image = PolyFactory-Windmill_block.png
| image2 = PolyFactory-Windmill_item.png
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = Yes
| maxStack = 64
| tool = Any (Axe speeds up)
| tntres = 2.5

| light = No
| transparent = Yes
| waterloggable = Yes

| lavasusceptible = Yes
}}Windmill is a rotational source block added by [[Mod:PolyFactory|PolyFactory]]. You can place it by using a Windmill Sail item on an [[PolyFactory:Axle|Axle]], converting it to the Windmill block. It can only connect to other blocks from a single direction. By using the [[PolyFactory:Wrench|Wrench]], it can be rotated.

Windmill Sails can be dyed is similar fashion to [[Minecraft:Leather Armor|Leather Armor]] and mixed together in any pattern within the Windmill block.

=== Rotational power generation ===
Main purpose of the Windmill is to generate rotational force that can be used by other machines. The amount of it depends on multiple factors, such as:

# Amount of sails, with minimum being 2. It effects final stress capacity supported by the windmill.
# Height it is placed on (depending on dimension). It needs to be at least 5 blocks above the ground in Overworld (and any modded dimensions) to start rotating, through being higher gives better results. In The Nether, it needs to be around y=64. In The End dimension position doesn't matter. It effects final speed and stress capacity.
# The biome, with ocean biomes giving x1.3 and beaches and mountains x1.2 boost to both speed and stress capacity.
# Whenever it is raining, giving additional x1.1 boost to speed and stress capacity even if under shelter.

You can connect multiple windmills in parallel to increase total stress capacity available.

Formula for speed, where ''x'' is speed, ''y'' is the number of sails, ''p'' is the block position, ''b'' is the biome multiplier, ''r'' is the rain multiplier, and ''d'' is the distance to ground:<ref name=":0">Assuming 2 or more sails</ref>
If NETHER: Base ''x = 32 - abs(p.getY() - 64) / 2.0; If END: x = 5; Else: x = d - 2;''
If < 2 sails or x = 0, consume 0.15 stress and return 0 speed, 0 stress capacity. [??, needs checking!]
''speed = min(log(x) / log(2) * 2.1, 10.5) * b * r;''
If speed <= 0 return 0 speed, 0 stress capacity.

Formula for stress capacity, where ''s'' is speed and ''y'' is the number of sails:<ref name=":0" />
''stress = min(max(s * 0.15 * y * 1.2, 0.5), 18)''

=== Obtaining ===
It can be crafted using [[PolyFactory:Steel|Steel Plate]]<nowiki/>s, [[Minecraft:Stick|Stick]]<nowiki/>s and [[Minecraft:Wool|any color of wool]].

Daniel99j: Fixed a missing space

}}Grinder is a rotational crafting block added by [[Mod:PolyFactory|PolyFactory]]. It is used to grind down items, creating new materials. it's placement is directional, but only indicates item input/output when used with [[PolyFactory:Item Conveyor|Item Conveyors]], [[PolyFactory:Funnel|Funnels]] and [[Minecraft:Hopper|Hoppers]] It is the first workstation you need to use to start working with the mod, allowing to get basic crafting resources. Later it can be used for more effective crafting of some resources and raw ore doubling. All the recipes are viewable in [[Mod:Polydex|Polydex]] recipe list.

=== Obtaining ===
It can be crafted using [[Minecraft:Stone Slab|Stone Slab]], [[Minecraft:Smooth Stone Slab|Smooth Stone Slabs]] and [[Minecraft:Planks|any Planks]].
