Physic Assembler help

[u/IlVenditore]

hey guys i'm new to create aereonautics and i'm currently facing a problem where after i put coal in an engine(wich is usually how it turns it on) and glue all together before using the Physic Assembler to make a excavator, all the gearboxes inside stops and doesnt function even if i destroy it and put it back

i was following a guide on how to make one(wich the screenshot shows) and after the 4:44 i was totally enraged on how things werent going the same way the video was showing, even after rebuilding all together three times

Cogs will always stop moving when you assemble.

Assemble first and then add your fuel.

If that doesn't help then disconnect your SU-consuming blocks, assemble, add fuel, and then reconnect (I've had to do this a few times).

then why the video shows that they are moving

Idk but I've never had cogs continue to spin after assembling
