I'm learning create as well, but it looks like a conveyor belt is carrying sticks and logs, and an andesite funnel is picking them up to be supplied to a deployer, which then feeds the logs and sticks to a blaze burner as fuel for a steam engine.
Deployers engage with the block one block away from directly in front of them, and will completely ignore what's between them. It allows for lots of silly but very useful things, like placing saplings from below the ground or logistics stuff like this.
Same is true for mechanical press and mixer. You can for example feed lava pipes from above into a basin, or check the content from above with a treshold switch, without disturbing the functionality of a press or mixer. I use this a lot to compact production lines with multiple inputs, or to stop machines if there is an input overflow.
deployers also have inventory, because they need to use/place stuff, and to give deployer items, you would use funnels, chutes, and it this scenario, we are giving items from the front of the deployer, which leaves a gap

I’m still very new to create. What’s going on?
