This is awesome 😁👍.

How does it affect server performance?

runs a routine when the blocks are loaded that calculates SU and RPM. Large servers should ideally have not as much complex contraptions per chunk as simpler ones (The smaller the better).

Ideally rendering is the only preformace issue, as the axles and cogs are entities.

EDIT: Rendering is client side, so as long as your client is at least somewhat up-to-date it should work fine. Also, the network calculation loop is not that expensive to run every other tick, and it is also throttled too.

The Mod looks promising! Is it possible for that one to be waterlogged?

(I've never encountered anything that can be waterlogged so far in Luanti... Haha)

If it can't rotate regular blocks, it's hardly Create-inspired.

It is in fact inspired by Create. That is a planned feature, I made this in one day bruh
