Create is an amazingly fun mod! But with no stress units there's no create! Thankfully steam engines exist to power your machines and I exist to power your mind! - Ігри
I think that tree farm is more expensive option, because when you have blaze burners, one brass funnel isn't that hard. And tree farm requires deployers to replant trees.
Well you only need 2
You will need alot of cauldrons to fill the lava, that's alot of iron
@@RamonEggerink i don't know about others but i usually make small iron farm before building boilers.
@@RamonEggerinkjust make an easy iron farm
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.
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.
Create is an absolutely stellar mod!
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
If his stuff is such a game changer in experience, his mod may deserve to be in vanilla MC.
@@fishyfinthing8854 hard no... as awsome as create is it needs to stay 100% a mod and not ever be added to vanilla minecraft bc mojang would 100% ruin it and create would then be ruined in all future versions aswell plus mojang already gets away with more than enough of stealing mod content to add in updates and managing to still fuck it up
@@dejojotheawsomehow do you the gearshift thingy
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.
How would one get the lava into the place it needs to go then?
@@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.
I'm a simple man. I power my furnace engines with dried kelp blocks, I power my enslaved Blaze steam engine with dried kelp blocks.
Kelp is a great power source!
I can confidently say I know my way around Create better than many, but I never knew I was overestimating how much water I needed for steam engines!
when you feed it buckets for testing, it makes it feel way more daunting
Use an infinite water source, then have the rotation turn the valves.
20 rpm per boiler level
bruh goated tutorial, couldn't figure out which power source i should use and steam engines seemed too complicated until i watched this! tysm!
15:50 for the netherrack, you could use a threshold switch (or whatever it was called) to turn on some kind of warning (e.g. if you have a control room for your base it could be a redstone lamp there) when the netherrack runs low.
A bunch of steam whistles turning on and of and a big square of lamps flashing on and off should do it.
I am actually getting into the create mod again (I played it 2 times prior but returning to it) thank you for this! Your videos are informative and I enjoy the mostly uncut content as well as saying your thought process aloud, earned a sub from this minecraft veteran
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.
i did this and it still isnt going as fast as he did it in the video
@@gamebox6077 Did you manage to fix it?
@@MrVenat0r yes, the way i had it set up it was turning the mechanical hand or taking power from it, but i fixed it.
OMG thank you, i was wondering why it wasnt working, this helps alot
@@gamebox6077i dont understand
I love playing with Immersive Engineering and Create Crafts & additions, it adds a way to directly upgrade blaze burners to being able to feed them with biodiesel with Create Pipes and superheats them.
Holy. Thank you! Sounds so much easier than automating blaze cakes 💀
I believe you can also pump lava into them with that mod.
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
you don’t have to use the drip stone blocks just pointed drip stone btw :) you could have glass or stone or whatever non flammable block there as long as the point is there
Thanks for this video. I've seen videos about self-sustaining steam engines, but they all just built it and that's cool, but I prefer being able to understand what's happening lol. Now I'll be able to try and design my own.
This actually helps understand how to make a more efficient engine, thank you
thank you for help. at first the Steam Engine was a littel complicadet but now its easy for me to build something cool with it :)
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.
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)
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
yeah and it’s not like you’re gonna mine the whole Nether and run out of netherrack lol... right? Right???
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)
@@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
"The trick there is getting the lava from the nether, but I'll let you figure that one out."
🎵I LIKE TRAINS🎵
The Venn diagram of train child to create mod fan is a circle
I’m trying to make a self sufficient power plant with create: New age and I was having a bit of trouble getting the engine running but this video really helped.
i would be so lost without your instructions of this mod. i cant tell you how much help you are with just two vidieos of yours i can say i learned enough to where i was able to build something way more functional.
An amazing video! Well explained, funny, simplistic, and entertaining from start to finish. You've earned a like + sub!
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
yeah the super boost in SU is honestly just really fun lol. Also thanks for letting me know about the addons :D
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
There is one where haunting flour gives cider fleur it is called additionele recipes or something similair
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~
Learned a lot, thanks! Really helped solidify things in my head.
super glad to hear that!
Thanks for the tutorial, I had the lava but couldnt figure out how i should make it self sufficient.
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.
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.
Loving your channel 😎
this will be useful, i even have an idea to make the lava farm more reliable in the event the generator over stresses, multiple lava farms stockpiling lava in a tank
After messing with a steam engine for the better part of a full afternoon. I have found a stupidly overpowered way to not only jump start a max level steam engine using a hand crank, for if it were to ever stop for some reason, but have it also self pump ridiculous amounts of water into itself, while being in an idle state. The only limiting factor is, unironically, the Blaze Burners.
I also only used around 18 blocks in total if you don't count the core boiler and the Blaze Burners. Just the extra bits on the outside. It's incredibly compact as well.
Obviously keeping the Blaze Burners lit requires the use of an external system, but the core boiler design is kind of OP.
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to make a steam engine and it wasn’t working but this helped a ton!
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.
Form of this videos is brilliant, as you said, teaching how the machine works, thank you for not making us watch you place blocks, I'm so glad I found your channel
This helped more than any how to mod pack i've watch. Subscribed.
instead of using a brass funnel, you can make the mechanical arm put the bucket into an andesite funnel dropping it into a barrel and then dropping it onto the depot so no brass needed for funnels
Correct me if im wrong but couldnt it also technically place it on a belt that goes to the depot? I havent played create in a little while and i cant remember if belts put things onto depots or not
they do but funnels are cheaper@@surr3ald3sign
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
New to the mod, this was a fantastic intro, thank you!
Awesome. I've been using a tree farm with deployers but the lava and a mechanical arm seems way simpler.
It's a really nice easy way to deal with it
It really is nice, i prefer pairing create with other mods that allow me to farm any material infinitely (such as mystical agriculture) bc i personally dont enjoy mining or hand farming materials past the early game, i like to automate everything to the point that i could afk indefinitely without any part of my factory stalling
Am I dumb or did he not mention the tiny fact that you need to go to the Nether and capture blazes inside the blaze burners?? That seems like a pretty HUGE fact to leave out.
So real
Steam Engines are endgame su engines; it’s common knowledge the ingredients for a blaze burner if you’re at the point to make one
@@kvable. It's common knowledge that not everybody knows everything, jackass.
6:50 I'm a bit late, but you can use any solid block above the dripstones, not just dripstone blocks.
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.
That's a lot of really amazing numbers! Thank you very much for sharing
Yes, I really prefer this style of tutorial! I was having many improvement ideas throughout the latter part of the video.
Teach a man to fish, and all!
You have earned my subscription, as well as my recommendations. I just wish I knew more Create creators.
I suspect Tango of the tech variety may have been influenced by you as well. Just a feeling I have.
i have no fucking clue what am doing so this is actually really helpful
Now I can recreate the Industrial Revolution in my multiplayer server
I like to use water wheels to power the water input and other inputs, since waterwheels are nice and cheap and don't shut off when the boiler overstresses or runs out of fuel.
u can also use a hose pully in the nether to bring lava from lakes, use a item drain and buckets( u can bring it throught the net5her with belts)
I just realized that you can add a cogwheel on a different side of the water pump and connect a crank to it, and you can restart the boiler at any time, without using a windmill.
Your vidoes made me play Create its a really fun mod that fits the type of games i usually play and love so thanks for the recomendation bro.
I never thought that vanilla lava farm could be this useful
If you had the lava source conversion game rule on, could you link a mechanical pump to an infinite lava source and power the boiler that way too? Including the spout and arm
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.
Netherrack doesn't really need automation, even if you have an iron pickaxe a bit of efficiency can make netherrack insta-mined, so you can get a lot of it quickly and forget about it. Then you could make a notification system that idk turns on some lamps or smth when the amount of netherrack is low.
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)
6:43 Little note here, you dont need the dripstone blocks (at least to my knowledge you don't). You can use cobblestone or anything that doesn't burn, the pointed dripstone js the important part
good job dude really helpful! now i now how steam engines work
Messed around with steam engines yesterday and this popped up. Whilst messing around I accidentally made a max level steam engine, producing ~110,000su. I hooked it up to a generator to produce electricity. Create is amazing 😅
This guy is so underrated.
Love your videos I’m newly subscribed and this helps alot thxs
Fantastic - VERY informative & Helpful, thanks!
With Create Stuff and Additions, you can power the blazde burners directly by giving them straws
Yes, you can automate netherrack. You can turn cinderflour back into netherrack with lava and cobble. It's a pain but it can be automated and come out netherrack positive since you have that 50% chance of 2.
I'm pretty sure you can use bamboo to power blaze burners instead of buckets of lava or a tree farm. A bamboo farm is very easy to make. Though you would probably want a stockpile switch to stop the farm from producing too much bamboo
It May bottleneck with Just one mech arm. The blaze butners can burn bamboo faster than the arm can provide it
@@user-wp9xx3jf3x 2 arms then
I love this !
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.
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
personally I like setting up an automatic train to keep bringing lava from an infinite source in the nether to the overworld to create infinite sources since it's much much faster
@@neztech. A cool idea could be to make a vulcano out of a mountain and that holds your lava
@@ThisIsMego Why don't use a train ;) A train assembled with a tank can transport the lava trough a portal and bring it to the overworld. No need to carry so much stuff by your own. It is a process to get to trains, but it is really funny to have such a "lake " of infinite supply.
On passive one, you can put the steam engine on the side, compacting it.
Also, using Create Stuff & Additions you can deliver lava without buckets
Leaving something for the algorithm. Love the content. 👍
im pretty sure this is before rise and shine but you can bulk haunt charcoal into coal (or its from a different addon)
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. 👀
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
Great tutorial ive built this on my multiplayer server except for the windmill everything was was functional but out of the blue my mechanical arm started to loop and i havent been able to fix it since so do you have any advise on this?
I really like this content. Please continue them
There is a netherrack recipe in the create crafts additions addon that allows you to automate it.
Add a buffer for the lava. Make the lava go into a big container so there's lava piled up already ready to be used so you don't have to wait for lava to go through the pipes from a single cauldron
That mech arms are more intellegent comparing to %99 of Turkiye population. Good work!
already have one of these bad boys on a server with some mates but im now inspired to do a re-design
You could also download any of the Many many addon mods for create there is even one called liquid fuel that allows you to power blaze burners directly with copper pipes with lava
one of the first things i did with the steam engine update was try to make perpetual motion
This man could legit be the best teacher at my school
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
Just subscribed I like your create video it’s great. Enjoy your weekend
after watching this i can say that i love stress
Now i just need updated tinker's construct
minor correction, an infinite lava farm with dripstone doesn't need a dripstone block, just the dripstone itself, most people use glass to see the lava above the dripstone in survival to make your life easier
We NEED steam ships in this mod!
And actual detailed ship engines
Thank you for the tutorial :D
The R.I.P furnace engine
Thanks a lot for this! Very helpful.
So glad to have helped!
you still need brass for the mechanical arm but wow nice tutorial
If you're doing this in a pack with mystical agriculture, you can fully automate the netherrack too
very good tutorial!
10:47 forget the mechanical arm you can pipe lava directly into the blaze burner with fluid pipes. faster and cheaper
thanks i destroyed my pump system to do what you said but you cant pump lava into the blaze burners
@@00WhiteBlade idk I'm playing on the steampunk modpack and it works just fine for me
Currently involve myself in stoneblock 3 from feed the Beast which has the create mod my only problem is how to power the mechanical crafters to create the grinding wheels
what i found worked best for me was a carpet duper for the blaze burners. cheap and effective albeit a bit laggy
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!
A rotation speed controller can fix that
You can also use a second depot
more pratical tutorials would be great, loving this content, insta sub here :)
You can actually use mechanical pumps in a line and they'll power each other like small cogs! You can just build a 3x3 hole with water and place the pumps in a straight line down the middle, powering one which causes the other two to be powered as well
The pumps are also able to be waterlogged, so you can just have the pumps inside the non-infinite water source blocks, pointing towards the infinite one. Makes things a tad more compact
This is very cool but it's sad that the older version of create don't have those.
The furnace engines are cool tool! But yeah these are great
7:20 you can use any block instead of dripstone, so long as it isn't flammable.
This video got me, I have to get into this mod.
8:55 respect for using belts to transfer rotational power
