Create Mod Steam Engine Guide!

the guy who created this mod has done an amazing job. i used to be a huge fan of the old industrial craft and this is my new favorite mod.

[@dejojotheawsome]

Create is an absolutely stellar mod!

[@Surr3alD3sign]

Create is honestly, in my opinion backed by a little under 10 years of playing modded, by far the most well made and enjoyable mod to play with, i havent played vanilla in years but now if i want to go play vanilla what i actually do is play vanilla+ with just a few handpicked mods that i have fallen in love with, create being at the top of the list. The mod creator did a fantastic job and i wish the absolute mad lad has all their dreams come true bc they deserve it

The lava farm does need sources, but you can use virtually any solid block under the lava, not just the dripstone block. It's actually just the pointed dripstone doing the work, not the block.

[@Trenty_Boi]

How would one get the lava into the place it needs to go then?

[@PasiFourmyle]

@@Trenty_Boi You still need a solid block under the lava source, and then the pointed dripstone on the bottom of that solid block. You can use anything non-flammable on the sides of the lava sources to hold it in. Just to reiterate, you basically do exactly what he did in the video, but the dripstone "blocks", not the "pointed" dripstone, can be pretty much any non-flammable block.

You also don't need an air block between the pointed dripstone and the cauldron if you want to save a block of vertical space.

I tried a simple two block long radial tree farm once, it could not keep up with a single blaze burner with a 4 tall boiler above it, even if the wood was turned into charcoal.

[@walkersunited7962]

For those struggling at 13:02, you will need to have a brass casing as the block. So first, on the same level of the copper pipe that feeds the steam engine water, place a LARGE cogwheel, and this is FIRST. After that you get your brass casing and place it ON the cogwheel you just placed, it should sort of become a combination of the two blocks. Next put the small cogwheel diagonally and another large cogwheel under that. Finally put another small cogwheel diagonally, this should end up right under the brass casing/cogwheel combination from earlier, and one more small cogwheel next to that. The reason why this may have not worked at first, and why it didn't work for me despite having the exact same blocks, is because you had to do the cogwheel and casing FIRST, as in break the smaller cogwheel underneath. If the small wheel is there, or gets placed first, the brass encased large cogwheel will connect to it and that's what breaks the steam engine.

[@NWOHIO77]

Love videos like this. This "explain, example, expand" way of teaching about this stuff is perfect for me.

[@sandwichboy1268]

Great tutorial, I learned a lot about Create steam engines! Working on a public use blaze cake factory that "sells" blaze cakes for 2 netherrack a piece

[@FeuerToifel]

from my experience, you don't need the dripstone blocks, just the dripstones itself are enough. and as long as its not possible to fully automate blazecakes (=generating netherack), i'll stick to using a lvl9 one and add another one if needed. more expensive to build but runs forever (unless you overstress it, but thats why you use a stressmeter)

[@ruberine2086]

You don’t need to automate it though? Unless you plan on spending maybe 400+ hours in one world. 2 double chests of netherrack takes the same amount of time to gather as a farm would imo, and thats 400hrs of fuel right there

[@canon-de-75]

yeah and it’s not like you’re gonna mine the whole Nether and run out of netherrack lol... right? Right???

[@neztech.]

5x5 drill netherrack and you'll have like 200 stacks in 10 minutes (not to mention you can do this while you're mining netherite to save time)

[@naberville3305]

​​@@ruberine2086still better just to built 2 lvl 9 as there isnt any advantage whatsoever to lvl 18 boilers. Literally all you save is 9 blaze burners in construction. And you can make 2 lvl9 boilers much more compact

Thanks! I'm currently playing "Forever Factory" on Curseforge, where you build one single interconnected factory and keep adding onto it instead of building multiple factories and connecting them together. The modpack lets you do wireless create stress on channels, so I wanted a great way to power a single wireless channel and this looks to be it!

[@PrestonGriffith]

If you are using the Create: Liquid Fuel mod you can pump lava directly into the blaze burners. Found this out playing on Beardstone's Perfect World pack.

[@666neoselen]

thanks so much for the video I didn't know steam engine would be that much given power ! besides that, you can craft netherrack without going in the nether at all (well, it's nicer to go in the nether since it's faster to get netherrack like that). so, if you're on a server that deactivated nether, here's how, with Create: - gunpowder = either mob farm, OR crush creeperhead OR wash crushed raw zinc (the other method require sulphur from nether) - quartz: crush diorite OR crush prismarine crystals OR wash crushed gold ore - netherrack = compact in a bassin (gravel, gunpowder, quartz, clay)

[@BlazeMakesGames]

Yeah one of the common add ons makes it possible to generate netherrack by pouring healing potions on cobblestone, which makes a top tier steam engine an insanely complicated but very satisfying setup. You need a Melon Farm, Netherrack Farm, and a gold farm, which itself is a whole project on its own, then of course you need to farm chickens for the eggs and sugarcane, and then you can finally have all that feed into making blaze cakes infinitely in a massive factory sized engine. On the plus side tho you do get a healing potion farm out of it among other things.

[@gagemonster555]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial, I didn't realize how early these are to setup.. that you could feed blaze with lava.. And most importantly i've never used the mechanical arm because I assumed they were as basic/limited as a factorio inserter. I had no idea they could target so freely.. create is so powerful! Dripstone lava farms don't need dripstone -blocks-, any block that will hold the pointed dripstone stalactites (10 block long max) should work. It checks two blocks above the topmost pointed dripstone and looks for a cauldron up to 10 blocks below the tip. There is no advantage to having a longer than 1 block pointed dripstone. It is of course random chance based on world ticks and dice rolls, but on average 1 tip will make just over 1 lava every day (19 minutes~). Any furnace fuel can be used in blaze burners for its usual time, so since lava lasts 1,000 seconds, you would need an average of 1.2~ cauldrons per blaze spawner (so 11+) to keep them more or less on; (char)coal would be 15/day/blaze(135). For you psychopaths out there, dried kelp blocks would be 6/day/blaze aka 486 kelp. Arms don't refill blaze unless the blaze has less than 500 seconds of time left but the blaze can hold up to 10,000 seconds without waste; so It Just Works™. Blaze cakes are 160s so need 7.5/day/blaze (67.5/day flour/eggs/sugar for the full 9) but will not overfeed the blaze. Every heat source except -heated/superheated- (not cold) blaze provides the same passive 0 heat value, heated is 1, and super is 2. For water you need 10mb/t/level: Passive=1x20rpm pump, Heated=1x180rpm pump, Super=2x180rpm pumps. Water is not stored anywhere, so overfilling the steam tank provides no benefit. Maxed tank level is 18 at 294,912su requiring 18 engines at 16,384su each to make use of. Engines are all separate generators so one getting overstressed doesn't inherently make all the others stop too. Random sidenote but the wiki page for encased fans has a ton of interesting knowledge.

[@dejojotheawsome]

That's a lot of really amazing numbers! Thank you very much for sharing

[@kasuraga]

Better option to feed the blaze burners is to use straws (part of the Create Crafts & Additions add on), and fluid pipes. It allows the blaze burners to take from the pipes connected to them. So instead I use a 2 stage pump system. One pump pulls from the lava farm into a fluid tank for lava. The second pump pulls from the lava tank to the blaze burners. I use clutches and switches so I can turn on and off the feed pump so if I want to the steam engine to shut down I can disable the transfer pump from the tank to build up a supply of lava to use when I need the steam engine running. The pump from the lava farm to the fluid pump is driven by a water wheel so it constantly pumps out any collected lava to the storage tank. The water wheel/lava pump combo is also connected to the engine as well with a clutch, so I can use the water wheel to jump start the steam engine to get some rotation in to start up the water pump connected to the steam engine and the feed pump from the tank to the blaze burners.

[@fordalels]

i knew most of this but i hadn’t considered blaze cake automation!! it sounds silly but i usually use a tier 9 steam engine to power most of my stuff and i prefer just making another one as expanding up REALLY has drawbacks when you put steam engines under your base.. seeing that it makes almost 300,000 su i might consider it! also some packs and create addons make it so you can farm cinder flour, the one i remember is spouting redstone on cinder flour

[@dejojotheawsome]

yeah the super boost in SU is honestly just really fun lol. Also thanks for letting me know about the addons :D

[@davidalsobrook4052]

If I'm honest, with the most recent create version, I see two level 9's compared to a maxer being more efficient anyways, possibly even space wise, considering a max level boiler puts out as much as two 9's... that, and you dont have to make blaze cakes, just lava or even wood if you wanted, youd also have to spend the same amount of resources building a max level instead of two 9's anyways, the only thing you'd have to use more of is blaze burners, but those aren't too hard to get really

[@collinkaufman2316]

There is one where haunting flour gives cider fleur it is called additionele recipes or something similair

[@SonicDRJ]

RETRACTION: I wrote this before finishing watching the video (like an idiot) and henceforth retract this statement... must be an addon that I've been using (I've only played Create in modpacks made by friends) ~I believe that vanilla create can allow for cinder flour to be renewable as well... but it isn't as efficient... something to do with when crushing Netherrack there is a 50% chance to get 1 extra cinder flour, and if you do cobble, lava, and cinder flour you can make Netherrack, so that means that for every two Netherrack you crush on average, you can get one extra cinder flour. Again... not the most efficient thing... but technically plausible... however I do not know if that's a standard Create thing or a result of an add-on... so if this is misinformation do let me know, and don't quote me on this, XD~

[@spicydeath82]

what my buddy did on our modded server was set up the infinite automatic lava first. it pumped into a giant tank. then the tank fed the blaze burners in the same way you did. he also had a water tank supplying water as well. he considered the blaze cakes but figure lava was more than enough power for a whole base. there's also a mod that adds compatibility between create and immersive engineering.

Steam Engines notably overstress individually, so if you don't mind wasting most of the 16k SU the one engine produces, you can have single separate engine feeding water and fuel, and no matter what happens to the other engines (assuming the fuel holds up), the engine keeps running. You can also use the "wasted" SU to run 2nd to 4th additional boilers, if you want to.

Find a sufficiently large whole in the overworld, use a hose pulley to fill up the hole from your lava gen. Once you have enough lava, reverse your pump and you'll be pumping an infinite lava source.

[@ThisIsMego]

you need 10k Lava sources for the lake to be considered infinite. That takes A WHILE with an automatic lava farm. Given that the average time for a cauldron to get filled by drip stone is 19 minutes (according to the minecraft wiki) even with the 20 cauldrons that are running here it would take 150 hours 20 minutes on average (not counting time for setup) just to generate the lava needed to create an infinite source. At that point it would probably be faster going to the Nether, finding an infinite lake, setting up an infinite pump there, bring a bunch of tanks and then run 1250 filled create tanks (or comparatively larger ones from other mods if you have access to them for fewer trips) and create your lake that way

I am not sure if this has been brought up within the comments (i'm disinclined to acquiesce towards reading more than one or two comments, myself), but there are ways of utilizing infinite lava sources. I may be out of date, as this feature may have been disabled or the requirements may have changed, but as I recall you only around 100 lava source blocks to constitute an infinite supply. You could have the cauldrons pump a percentage of their supply into a prepared space and, once it fills, change your system to feed from there rather than the cauldrons which can then be torn down and moved to another project. Enjoyed your video, looking forward to browsing the rest of your content and see if there are some things I haven't discovered as of yet.

I dont understand what you did to make it wait for the lava bucket to fill EDIT: Yeah it seems there was an update that made mechanical arms dumber. I got around this by adding an extra depot and an extra funnel. arm places empty bucket in input funnel, input funnel puts it in depot 1, spout fills empty bucket with lava in depot 1, output funnel puts the full lava bucket in depot 2 (which is 1 block lower and one block to the side of depot 1), arm takes it from depot 2, repeat).

8:55 respect for using belts to transfer rotational power

So these tutorials are amazing I have been wanting to make a really big factory sometime I just didn't know where to start so now that I have a better idea of what to do I hope I can eventually show my big factory either chocolate factory or fruit factory if u can or whatever I come up with idk yet but it's going to be really big an amazing when I can show it

[@DarkGmng944]

Btw I noticed something. In the second solution(lava farm) the mechanical arm moves too fast, it just takes the empty bucket. Probably it could be fixed with a different solution, not using the power from the steam engine. Really good vid, I learned a lot. Thanks!

[@darkhalocraft4515]

A rotation speed controller can fix that

[@Cretaelx]

You can also use a second depot

With Create Stuff and Additions, you can power the blazde burners directly by giving them straws

[@RyoRonin]

I learnt recently by accident while experimenting with create that you can generate netherack by haunting soul sand so if u have a cobble gen milling gravel then mill gravel to sand then haunt sand then haunt the soul sand you get netherack. :)

good job dude really helpful! now i now how steam engines work

[@juhmop]

im pretty sure this is before rise and shine but you can bulk haunt charcoal into coal (or its from a different addon)

Fantastic - VERY informative & Helpful, thanks!

[@tristanmitchell1242]

Honestly, you don't need the steam engine on top. You need it attached to the boiler. So you can have it sideways very easily, and in fact for larger engines having all the arms on one side is highly recommended. Plus, it makes it easier to expand as you don't have things on top of the boiler blocking you from placing more tanks.

Yes, he was just doing a small demonstration. He wasnt going out of his way to make it efficient or anything, just messing around to show how it all works

[@mysteryboyee]

the problem with having the steam engine power it's own water pump is that if you overstress it and it shuts off, you now have to go and start it all over again manually from scratch, and you'll usually also have to disconnect all your equipment from it as the hand crank doesn't create enough SU to power more then really just that pump

[@Macaroni_King]

Alternative to a tree farm perhaps a kelp farm since chutes drop the output from furnaces and then can be packed automatically on a mechanical press that both feeds itself as well as excess dried kelp to power the engine unless a bamboo farm is used to cook the kelp which seems a little excessive at that point but idk. 👀

[@cinere_ignis]

This is very cool but it's sad that the older version of create don't have those.

[@dejojotheawsome]

The furnace engines are cool tool! But yeah these are great

[@anthonytan1094]

Just subscribed I like your create video it’s great. Enjoy your weekend

[@jamesseraph8813]

You don't need dripstone blocks, just the dripstone themselves. The lava will drip through essentially any standard block. I use glass.

As a person who doesn't use the create mod i see that i won't see the end of the video (but i'll leave a like anyway)
