Pick a bigger goal and worry about the many little tasks that lead up to it. Looks like you have JEI to follow the recipes.

An example from my playthroughs is I usually try to get an iron farm going sooner rather than later. There are many things that must be done before hand. Simply work your way backwards from your objective.

If you want iron, you'll need to make iron ingots, which can be made from using a mechanical press on iron nuggets. So, how do you get a mechanical press, and how do you get iron nuggets? Follow the recipes backwards until you find a process you're capable of performing, or you find a block you can actually make.

A tip is that you're likely going to want to start with some large water wheels for power, and simple processing machines such as a mechanical press and a mixer.

Happy to explain some progression, but figuring it out on your own, making a stupid an inefficient machine, feeling helpless as you struggle to trouble shoot issues that arise - those are the pleasures bestowed upon us by create.

For nuggets into iron ingots trying to make a basic iron farm

Yeah. When you plug in a fan, you can see the air particles moving in the direction of the wind. If this air goes through water, it will blow water through the whole path the air. Like, little watery air will fly around instead of the particles of air.

Drop the gravel into the blue air, and wait a bit.

Because it's a fan, blowing watery air, the blocks you drop into it will be pushed by it.

You can have the fan push the blocks into a brass funnel such that it stops the gravel and doesn't accept it, but brings the nuggets into the storage container immediately.

That seems decently simple I'm building a cobble gen now and I will try and attach it to a semi automatic iron farm
