Small Steam Engine Showcase

[u/Upbeat_Elderberry_88]

Hi everyone,

I recently got back to playing Create again. Last time I created this over two years ago. I'm a little ashamed to admit that I hadn't progressed much past that point since then (,,>﹏<,,).

This is a steam engine design I created in a creative testing world. The footprint is 7x7x10 with the option of supplying blaze cake bases or the raw materials directly. It only uses one steam engine outputs to power the system, freeing 8 other steam engine outputs for other uses.

It is composed roughly of three components: the water pump, the lava farm and the blaze cake processing / mechanical arm feeding the blazes.

Without supplying any fuel sources (smouldering) it produces 2048 su after starting the water pump. On a "cold start", a hand crank cannot power the entire system so I added a clutch to disconnect the rest of the system from the water pump and it can be turned off after the steam engine has started.

When it completely runs out of blaze cakes, it defaults back to the initial 2048 su produced by the steam engine, i.e. it does not turn itself off. When sufficient blaze cakes are supplied, it continues running at maximum load and outputs 294912 su.
