NOTE: THIS DOESNT WORK IN THE RISE AND SHINE UPDATE! you need to speed up the waterwheels by 1 more large to small cog to fix this

[@Niiwastaken]

God the rise and shine update is so fucking annoyingggggg

man mines still not working, it works with a hand crank but not the water wheels...

Instructions unclear, my entire base is one big boiler now

now youre cooking with gas! wait no.. steam

[@sammyoerth]

Oh no

[@chtechindustries4174]

Actually… that kinda is the instructions! Need more POWAY!!!

[@slimedguy]

Ha

[@bertnelson4087]

FOR THOSE WHO ARE SAYING IT DOESN'T WORK. I used 2 large water wheels, and also increased the gear ratio - by adding a large cog onto the same shaft as a smaller one, and meshing it with another larger one which turns the small under the tank. I hope this helps someone! It's a great build.

[@sonicthehedgehog2928]

This boiler room is epic, it isn't that big doesn't cost too many resources and makes a lot of power, nice work

[@skydragonfire93]

at 8:40 instead of doing the alternating heights on the pipes and creating the windowed pipes you "decorate" them with the copper casings as you place them. Pipes encased in copper casings won't change the direction they're in when other pipes are placed next to them.

[@krypticcaliber4854]

I just started the Create mod and these videos are awesome!!! Please keep them coming!!

You're videos are the first I've found that actually explain things very well and show some decoration around the buildings :D

This setup was so useful for my challenge mod pack since the nether is gate kept for much later

[@sammyyasin8213]

New update seems to have broken this, you need to put 2 mechanical pumps instead of one

Yes, but the concept applies.

[@alfae]

Definitely gonna keep this tutorial handy for if I ever start messing around with the create mod!

[@HamnetsWorld]

alhamdulillah, thank you so much for this i could not understand how to use this thing but now it makes sense. I just made it to the moon with create:astral and i need a powerstation. Thanks again

[@m1scar746]

Worked on 1.20.1 i just had to add 2 pumps to the main boiler

[@Mad-Jack]

Ive just build this in my survival world it didnt work at first i had to place a second pump to get it to work now it works like a charm gg for the vid😅

[@wuffles9584]

This is a great tutorial, my only complaint is that you didn't show how you built the exterior

[@sossololpipi9633]

last update's removed the importance of the quantity of flowing water around waterwheels and the direction of pump rotation. keep this in mind when recreating this

[@imveryaverage3209]

wwdym

[@rasmusdamkjr5270]

You have to elaborate more

[@sossololpipi9633]

@@rasmusdamkjr5270 any amount of flowing water around a waterwheel makes the waterwheel output the best possible stress unit (which we know as 320 SU) and speed output. this also applies to the new large waterwheel. as for the 2nd part, pumps will only pump fluid in the direction they are facing, and not change their direction based on the direction of their gear's rotation. no more fiddling around with every single pump in a system after you add gearshifts.

[@missfox2782]

How would you change this to make it output enough power? Because im assuming this change is the reason the engine wont work when attached to the first boiler now

[@grandpasgaming5232]

Thank you for s great video!!

[@SillyWalks-rr5er]

This is great work, not only is your video very informative, but also looks and sounds very professional...

[@SgtDinoBoy]

You should make another starter base but in the latest create update

[@SashaLegush]

guys, maybe im stupid but the steam engine on the first 4 fluid tanks is not working even tho i did everything like in that video. any ideas?

[@mrbarebunz]

Powerful

[@skylazart]

Hello … that’s a cool design. Well done. I’m curious about the output power. How much of stress units is it generating? In my world I built a steam engine with blazers but they are definitely not an early game option so campfire would be a good alternative. thank you

[@skeej_inc]

So this system is made from 8 individual Level One boilers. So it produces roughly 16K Stress, however I do want to make another video doing more of a deep dive into how the blaze burners and heating mechanics works. So I'll get to work on that, keep an eye out for it :) I have a video in the works before that but it's on the list

[@benmagnus0858]

In our old server, I also used kelp to power my factory. Now I'll use Bioethanol but before thst also kelp because since someone decided to add cinder flour to the recipie, it's a pain to automate.

Hola una pregunta quiero hacer un motor de vapor de triple expansión pero como puedo programar algo así? Tomar en cuenta que necesito un piston de 20 bloques de altura, una biela de 15 bloques de altura y un cigueñal de tres bloques de ancho. Mi situación: Si alguien me ayuda lo agradezco. Tengo la estructura del motor es un motor de barco para que se puedan hacer una idea de la magnitud la tubería de extracción de vapor a baja presión tiene un ancho diámetro de 5 bloques. Tengo ya el motor montado actualmente uso create mod puedo el cigüeñal y la biela pero cuando quiero conectar un tercer mechanical bearing no se tuerce la biela. Hay alguna forma de crear un motor de esas características o algún mod que me ayude? Lo siento por no escribirlo en inglés pero quiero que el escrito sea preciso.

[@Damidron]

bro i believe you get a nice future on KZbin, you very well tell`s how P.S. sorry for my English

[@CilfaNieraad]

Wonderful tutorial! I love your buildstyle and the tutorial format. Please make more! Sadly, this doesn't seem to be working in Create v0.5.1b anymore. I'm getting the impression it doesn't generate enough RPM. The small (regular sized) waterwheels produce 256SU, I've tried with the large waterwheel (512SU) and that halves the number of water intake. That intake seems just not to be enough (8 instead of the required 10 with 2 small waterwheels, and 4 with 2 large waterwheels) So it must be the RPM. One time shift up (small cog -> large cog) doesn't seem to be enough. I'm going to test this with a larger setup.

[@CilfaNieraad]

Yes, tested the new setup: For the first steam boiler to work with the current Create 0.5.1b version, you *have* to shift up once with gears. You need more RPM (minimum of 8). I took your design, but instead of placing the large cog diagonally towards the player in the video ("forward" or "down" however you want to call the direction), you have to put it diagonally to the top (away from the player). Then add a small cog on top of the large one ("shifting up", and now you go diagonally down again with a second large cog. It breaks the cute little building, have to find something to fix that. I hope this is clear for you all. It's hard to explain without pictures.

[@skeej_inc]

Thanks for letting me know! I havent tested any of my old designs yet so thats good to know

[@bigchadman]

Is there a pic on how you set yours up anywhere??

hi, sorry my shafts aren't turning I used the cannon and fixed the things that needed fixing but they still don't turn am I missing something? edit: never mind i just had to replace the fluid tanks

[@Beenters]

The initial water pump didnt work for me anymore, it was 2mb/tick short, had to gear ratio it again by moving the water wheels back 1 block

[@BLACKHELICOPTERCROUD]

The steam engine doesnt work for me on the first liquid storage, it says my waters too low but ive done it exactly like you have. Has something changed with the mod?

[@underloard102]

You did an awesome job on actually explaining. I have noticed that my water wheels do not spin as fast as yours. I did everything that you shown. But my water wheels spin slower, and my steam engine is not moveing. The tank is full of water.

[@austinmi9075]

The new 5.1 update has broken the waterwheel part of the farm because they work a bit differently now, i need to revisit it and update them to work in 5.1

[@sfs855]

the first steam engine you made isn’t working for me, the water fills up fine in the tank but the engine just doesn’t work

[@Yuudachi_Pois]

i thought the pumps required a set amount of source blocks to be considered infinite because i remember i had a steam boiler just drain the lake i was using for give it water

[@maxesquibel8744]

if water is a line of 3 or more and you take from the center block it will be infinite so with this one you may need to extend the ends out by 1 on each side

[@xtocy96]

I think in your case you used the hose pulley in the lake. That will drain it, unless the lake is at least 10K source blocks, and the hose pulley is at the bottom of the lake. Then it will work as an infinite water source.

[@jamesbemrose3290]

Idk why, but this isn't working. Says it ain't getting enough heat or water any advice?

[@crosstr15]

For the 0.5.1 update, you can just cover a bit of it with water

[@schultheisstrinker6186]

?

[@Paulett007]

I did it in Pojavlauncher on mobile, now it powers up most of my base

[@kimhennessy6071]

i attach the steam engine them the water disappears and nothing happens. what am i doing wrong plz

[@genericname2988]

waterwheels only care about non-source flowing water or bubbled water directly touching the wheel block, completely ignoring diagonals

[@sugimotoishigami4275]

4:50 now you only need one large water wheel

[@officialTree.]

Yo i used the scematic and added water where water needs to be and it does not work… do you maybe know why?

[@stratify23]

so i built it the same but im not getting the first steam engine to power everything else running, i have the goggles that say it needs more water but i built it the same so i dont get it

[@vivangaming9324]

How much power??

[@YoursTrulyAudrey]

Water blocks going down the side of water wheels doesn't increase power

[@missfox2782]

I made the first bit with the water wheel but when i place the engine like you did mine isnt spinning at all, why might that be?

[@mouth_wash9078]

Replace the small cog with another pump :)

[@Oversent]

@@mouth_wash9078 you're a awesome human bless your heart

[@randomname1984]

Doesn't seem to work with 0.5.1b anymore as water throughput is too low. Although the waterwheel is generating 128, the pump is only inputting 640 mB when an input of 81o mB is necessary to start the original boiler.

[@krbraveofficial]

you can replace the campfire infront of the first pump with a second pump then it'll work and I'm pretty sure if you want more heat you can add a blaze burner instead of the single campfire left but it wirks with a single campfire

[@nuhuh688]

i have one problem when building the small water based steam enigne just is in a idle state (im on 1.20.1)

[@IS-3]

how to build the roof

[@LiBlock]

My small boiler is running but the steam engine isn't running. Can anyone help? Edit: I realized that after the update it requires much more power to pump the water in there. You can fix it by adding a windmill or any other way of increasing the stress unit.

[@ilalc11]

Thanks, I had the same problem

[@danielrhouck]

If my calculations are correct, a single water wheel can handle not just the starter boiler but the eight actual boilers. I havenʼt tested that in game though and itʼs close enough any factor of 2 I missed would ruin it.

[@danielrhouck]

Yeah, I was missing a factor of 4, *and* I was missing that mechanical pumps have halved effectiveness when pumping from blocks in the world instead of from tanks. EDIT: No, I misunderstood the pump debuff *again.* This is in fact one water wheel per four pumps in your setup, if you have the water wheel *fully* powered (all four sides), which is easiest with horizontal water wheel; this also has the advantage you donʼt need to shift the speed because the required speed is 20 RPM which is the output of a fully-powered water wheel. Combining the output of horizontal water wheels can be a pain, though, so since you want eight productive pumps this is probably easier.

There is only 3 options that the recipe is different in your pack A) you changed the recipe B) the modpack author changed the recipe or C) the steam engine recipe is apart of an add on for create and not the actual create mod. If it's the 3rd option then you are looking at the wrong recipe. When you hover over it in jei it'll say what mod it is from.
