- A completely self sustaining and infinitely tilable steam boiler setup, creating roughly 500kSu PER CHUNK. Please do let me know how i can improve this design further :)
- Hry
wow! this is great. i made a steam power house, it made 1.7 million stress units but with this design is was simpler. I use an inter-dimensional lava transporter because when you put a hose pulley above a lava lake in the nether its consider infinite.
Definitely, i want to do a video on ways you can do this as we made an infinite source on our server by filling a 1 chunk hole all the way to bedrock with lava source blocks, using a dripstone farm that took about 2 Weeks. I always forget about nether portal trains
The math checks out for a 2:1 blaze ratio, about a 2 minute underlap for the blaze burner being empty though, a total of 140 seconds over the average refill speed of a cauldron, ~19 minutes. At a random tick rate of 68 seconds per tick, that is. Giving you a 1140 seconds of time between your last refill, lasting 1000 seconds per bucket amounts to about 2 cauldrons per blaze burner. Hopefully you just hit the good streak forever, but a 2 cauldron overfill can cover that cost entirely so either way your setup is perfect and I really love using it in my work ❤
5:00 for that elbow next to the tank corner, remove the tank block that the pipe elbow is connected to, encase the pipe elbow in a copper casing, replace the tank block
oh wow! literally perfect timing! I just started looking up vids for power generation and this is perfect!
you made me laugh in the first 10 seconds man... you've got yourself another subscriber and I never really comment on any video but I think this deserves one. Go at it my man
You can put a copper casing on the pipe, thats connecting from the cauldrons to the spout, to stop it from going into the boiler
Bro, Great design dude, simple and compact design. Keep it up man.
F.Y.I:
You should add the names of the blocks needed for the design, took me a bit to find what blocks I needed for the build.
Oh cool. I hope you're going to do more tutorials on Create. I've got some of the basics down but Create is so complicated.
Good stuff man keep it coming
That intro got me rolling 😂
Thanks man, very helpful
Great Video. Easy design. I just got it to work in my creative world. Now I am going to try and build it in my single player survival world.
That was a glorious intro.
I only recently discovered and subscribed to your channel and I'm really enjoying it so far!
My only question is what exactly are you?
Your skin, I mean, are a some kind of lizard? A gecko maybe? something like that?
super clever design
Great tutorial but I kinda missed a explanation how to start the engine.
good intro, i like it
you only have 3 videos and i love them all, i demand more content its so useful
Glad youre enjoying :) if theres anything specific you want me to do and ill put it on my list
1:52 for materials
Materials list is missing 4 blaze burners
Nice video 10/10
If you use Create Crafts and Additions addon you can use paper straws on Blaze burners to direct feed them liquid fuel whic is in our case - lava.
You could prevent that elbow pipe from connecting to the steam tank using a copper casing block.
2:46 "i'm using a filters right now because i get a wierd bug where where like flat items dont render propperly"
update your forge to 43.2.3or heigher
Man i was trying to fix this bug for weeks, thank you!!!!
@@rogerioterryuk7675 you're welcome
But the create devs deserve the most credit, they said on discord how to fix it
@@weshuiz1325 But who really wants to join a discord server filled with people
If it doesn’t work, and it says idle, you need to put a rotate speed controller on the water pump. I bang my on 194 and it works. You can go faster to for batter output.
Ok LOVE this design so off to try it out. First design I made worked in Creative World but once installed at my base it doesn't fill the boiler. Everything looks good, connected to my infinite "Hellhole", pumps all correct dirxns, power source hooked u... but tanks say Lvl 1 water & heat are like NIL.
REALLY hoping this baby takes care of my problems as its gonna power the town I'm so psyched to be building!! 😃
Try a few of these things:
>make sure the pumps are facing the right way
>the pumps need to be running at 256RPM
>Did you remember to put in the water sources for the pump? (Sounds daft but i always forget and feel dumb after)
@@skeej_inc Been working so just now back to play. Thanks for this reply.
It was still slooooow filling up the water tho.
Yep checked that pumps correctly aimed & had water in place correctly. Just decided to start pumping in kelp blocks for fueling my Blazes & it took off, which then soon allowed me to kick up speeds & they all went to Level 9 immediately. 😁 Yahoo!
Problem was that when originally running off the power sources (had tried both a windmill then waterwheels) & got "overstressed" as (just NOT enough s.u. output) IMMEDIATELY so had to keep speeds INSANELY low.)
Very clever
Can we get a schematic for this?
Don't you dare Slander Faded!
2:35 - 4:00 i want to suggest u to use Depot Brass-Funnel set Filter by used Lava-Bucket and set Arm-Input Depot and set Arm-Output Brass-Funnel and Blaze-Burner
Your channel is amazing since most of the create mod tutorials that are on CZcams are really outdated. Thanks 👍
you gained like just from the intro dude bruhhh
Im finding issues with the mechanical arm not interacting with the smart chutes, everything seems to be set up exactly like in the video so I am not sure what is causing it. Otherwise great tutorial!
Okay I researched this a bit and discovered there is a bug with SMP Create.
To solve the 'no target' bug, you have to have two mechanical arms so that when you place one, you are still holding another.
Very weird and annoying bug!
Tested it out in creative in 0.5. Could not get it to be self-sufficient at all and still required something to power it like water wheels. Not sure if the mechanics somehow got broken or what but can't get it to run under its own power. Glad I tested it out in creative and didn't waste time pulling down my current steam engine arrangement in survival only to find out that it wouldn't work and then have to rebuild what I had anyway 😅
I just tested it in creative and it works. What you have to do is to take the output from the steam engines (chain drive them), and send them to a speed controller. Through the speed controller, set the RPM to 192 and you will maintain a level 4 steam engine.
do you have a skematic for this?
Tip if anyone's engine isn't working:
Try making sure your tank is filling with water and not lava. Break the tank and re-place the tank starting from the top, where the water pipe connects, making sure water flows into the tank, then replace the tank fully.
@@gavinchoi4239 yea the design will need an external source of power continuously running the engine, despite the "self-sustaining" title.
@@mr.spaghetti2807 it actually doesn't. You just need to attach a speed controller from the output to keep it running.
I made an even better version of this using 2 lvl 9 generators side by side that produce nearly 300k SU. It's actually better than if I tiled 2 lvl 9 generators in the way you showed (Upscaled obviously) due to the fact that it uses a lot less resources for more SU. It only has one of those autofeeder mechanical arm things and overall uses less cogs and shafts.
Definitely, im glad you were able to find a way to improve on my design, the only issue is making sure theres enough cauldrons to reliably supply sll those burners
@@skeej_inc Well I guess I'll find out in my survival world when I build it there because I've only done short tests. Well, 30 minutes is a pretty decent time and it didn't turn off.
A good metric ive gone with is 2 cauldrons to 1 burner, sometimes i use 2.5:1 just to be safe but id love to hear how your tests go.
ok so i made this but for some reason the mechanical arm doesnt seem to work and i did it exactly how u did did i do something wrong-?
Has anyone encountered an issue with the rate of lava collection? I find I need substantially more lava to keep the steam engine running, around 5-6 sources per burner. I'm playing on Vault Hunters, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
for some reason steam engines wont fire and water isnt going to the tank
The pumps are too slow, speed them up with rotation controllers.
Someone can help me? When i use this machine it doesnt work to power farms i put the speed controler but it just use the windmill power that i used to power the machine, just generates 2k su in each side
You need to pull the SU from the top of the boilers (add shafts), all that on ground level is just to power the engine itself.
i've made your steam engine ( wich is great) but i have a problem where the mechanical arm glitches out when i reloge and does not reconige the smart shutes or depot anymore it does not matter if i replace them they just wont regonize it, so basicly the entire contraption is useless for me, do you know any way to fix it? its a well know bug.
I had the same bug. Here is the deal. Mechanical arm doesn't feed blaze until he has about 200 sec to burn.
I tried many times to replace the arm, but just need to feed the blaze by myself, and then, in about 30 secs the arm took over the process.
Also, I put 4 pumps otherwise the boiler don't run on the max power.
wouldn't a ton of large water wheels be better? steam engines and large water wheels both make 500su and water wheels are more compact and simple, I'm pretty new to create so there could be something im missing.
no steam is far better. on the wiki it says it has the highest su capacity (16,384 su) in survival mode. contrary to that a water wheel has a max su of 320 but are more oriented to powering simpler and early game machines.
Steam engines only make 500 su when their water isn’t boiling hot enough. If you put lava in a blaze burner, and then use it with a steam engine, it goes up to around 16,000 stress units
was about to make this and i came to the comments section to look before i built it. seems everyone has had problems with this. so does it actually work? or is there another method i should try instead? im fairly new to the create mod and just trying to find a simple design for big stress units. please help
I've tried it and if u somehow to manage to start the process it seems to work. I did it with a Windmill and afterwards connected it to the steamengine itself, u just need to put a speed controller with 192 speed, that should be enough to run that whole thing.
@@Michael-bi2rv same
can u make one thats a 4 x 4 area
I'm too dumb for this. Followed every step but then comes the jump cut and it's already running
He used a creative motor to jumpstart the system since it needs SOMETHING to get the arm moving and water pump running before the engine kicks in and becomes self-sufficient. Normal people do this with a handcrank on the water source for single water pump design OR by using a secondary SU source to kickstart the water pumps/mechanical arm.
What is the best way to connect the machine to itself. When I tried to connect it to the steam engine, it stopped working entirely.
Never mind I found a way
@@mangofire4846 could you make a short video on that ? or explain how you did it ? I'm having trouble doing that too
I'm struggling to figure this out too. It seems the water pumps completely stop, even with 2 pumps running at 256
pls tell us how u made it
Very cool design , but i gotta ask, why would someone need so much su ?
Presses and Crushing Wheels, i rest my case 😂
Is there a benefit for using 4 steamengines instead of 1 per machine?
depends on the level of the steam engine; level 4 means you need 4 steam engines to get the maximum stress units. so in this case yes
So this is a great tutorial, but it is not clear at all that you used a speed controller on the first one to run the power back in for the pumps. After rewatching the video several times, I saw the speed controller. I've been spending almost an hour trying to use a hand pump to get it jump started and then every time I disconnect it, it stops because the steam engines don't go fast enough to keep the boiler full of water.
Not the hand pump 💀💀😭😭😭
@@gavinchoi4239 you gotta make the windmill have enough stress units and fast enough to jump start the steam engines
Ok but what actually was the song in the intro?
Original song is Faded by Alan Walker but the version playing in the intro specifically is the NoCopyrightSounds version
Here’s a link to the NCS ver
czcams.com/video/D9syciL3Xsg/video.htmlsi=jhtQGGCQcL6PHZ2D
I made 5x5x3 one.
I followed your build exactly but after i disconect it from a starting engine the water pump shuts off immediatly how do i fix it?
Same issue
Water isn’t going up the pipe at all on my end, anyone know the fix?
@@tr8v211 add a water wheel to jump-start it. Add a speed controller to the exit of the boiler and loop it into its own power input
@@tr8v211 the thing is that the initial RPM of the boiler isn't enough for the water to flow at the good rate
I misspoke, I do have a starter engine, and water is going up the pipe. Its just not entering the fluid tank

0:47 could you please make a tutorial on how to make that engine plz, ive got everything i need i think
the water is not getting into my fluid tank. I have the build exactly like you, and the pump is in the right direktion.
Add another pump linked to the water pipe, and crank it manually to fill the tank so it starts the cycle. Make sure the Blaze Burners are fed before pumping water.
@@neilius-san Hi, thank you for your comment. I did that now but still not working. If I remove the steam engines. The tank turns into a normal tank and recieves water but as soon as I put back the engines on top it stops receiving water
How do I launch it. I followed the tutorial but you don't show how you start the engine
You need to power the bottom half of the engine, using a waterwheel or another smaller boiler
@@skeej_inc thank you bruv really good tutorial
@@skeej_inc Have to get something to run it up to 192 RPM. Once you've got that running for a few minutes you can hook it up to itself (via the drive train) and it will support itself
Exactly, why don't you just show that part? I'm a noob, I have no clue how to start it. So I've built it for nothing.
@@erwinzoor A Windmill of sufficient size will do it. Use a windmill bearing attached a sufficient number of sails and it will kickstart it.
why are there 2 different grasses?
I'm guessing what u mean is grass (that has the color/texture of the biome it's in) and moss blocks that look like grass and have several of grasslike properties but one singular color.
tbh i dont even build these, i just like his voice :D
my whole thing stop after 12 rpm, what do i do?
Sounds like you need more power to run it, the higher the speed the more power you need
fixed it now :D
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW I MAKE IT SO IT DONT STOP AFTER I DISCONNECT CREATIVE ENGINE
You add a rotational seed controller to the water pump and set it to 255 so the water pump is faster, as just linking it is to slow and dries the engine out.
@@OliverClark0907 192 RPM, but yes.
Yeah if you want more su you can use 192 but I like going to 255 to upgrade the actual main engine
@@OliverClark0907 yeah, it ultimately doesn't matter.
Also, one thing I did was build up a jumper steam engine. It's a self sustaining steam engine that uses campfires as the heat source and generates 2048 SU, enough for half a module. If you hook it up right, you can use that half of the module to kick start the rest of the steam engines.
@troybaxter ye that's a good idea I usually use waterwheels
You are a genius
how do i even use this thing lmao
Is a power engine, similiar with windmill and waterwheel
@@sir.baguette2448 ive never really seen create mod, i can tell this video is way over day one knowledge, but what does this run into? like how many farms could operate off of one of these?
@@Kuzumai This is not a early game or a beginner generator. One of these could run a whole factory depending on the size.
TLDR: Steam engines are used for powering a vast variety of machines at full capacity.
For a bit of context, every machine in the Create mod requires Rotational Force in order to operate. This can range from fans, mechanical arms, presses, fluid pipes, mechanical pistons, etc.
However, one isn't able to simply hook up a single water wheel and call it a day. Stress Units are this mod's measurement to how much stress/torque you're putting on your source of rotation. Different machines have different multipliers for how much stress output they have. For example, a Mechanical Press, having a 4x multiplier, will create stress units four times it's rotational speed input. Water wheels, which have a lower stress capacity, may become Overstressed if the mechanical press is using too high of an RPM.
Overstressing a system freezes all connected parts until the build is modified to facilitate all the machines without going over the stress limit, yet slowing down machines to prevent overstressing is generally not optimal. Nobody likes slow machines, as it causes bottle-necks in production lines.
Steam engines are really complicated yet useful machines that have incredibly high stress capacities, and are therefore highly sought after. Their high stress capacities allow savvy engineers to put out more rotational speed and therefore have all their mechanisms working at full capacity.
@mcskeeter5361 did read, thank you for the insight.
Boiler does not fill with water :(
Two main things id try:
1) Make sure your pumps are facing the right way, you can rotate them with the wrench
2) Make sure the pumps are spinning at max speed so the water keeps up with the needs of the engine :)
Were u able to fix yours? I had same prob with mine tho from a diff design. (Hence me scouting for a better design option to try.) Hoping this one works better as love that its compact (enuf for me) & that its tileable. (;
@@jcofortco i did fix it, pump has to be at 640su
5 water wheels with 3 speedups, works on serwers too i added it along the bottom shaft but for full chunk module i would make one full engine to power pumps.
Have to get something to run it up to 192 RPM. Once you've got that running for a few minutes you can hook it up to itself (via the drive train) and it will support itself
Ok you used creative motor, so how can i power it in survival??
you can whit a windmil
@@vipe_exx213 thx ❤️❤️
how about infinite lava source
that would be less efficient
unless you change the config
@@ralphwiggum1203 concious about why "that would be less efficient"
@@user-vp6gp1sn7d do you mean confused?
if so i mean that a hose pulley getting an infinite lava source is slower and requires 10,000 blocks of lava
@@ralphwiggum1203 got it, thanks. So, the cauldron is fast enough to produce sufficient lava, right?
@@user-vp6gp1sn7d it should be yes, in addition, the tile-ability of the design means you can expand it as needed without the 10,000 block lava source
Some constructive criticism:
Could definitely be compacted with a lot of the piping done away with.
Putting the engines on the top is very space inefficient imo.
And lv9 engines are generally more bang for your buck as you get twice as much power with the same amount of supporting mechanisms ie pumps, mechanical arms, speed changers etc.
And the lava system doesn't require 2 smart chutes. A single brass funnel will do. Nor do you need to use an item filter when you only are filtering for one item. You can place single items within the filter slot of a chute or funnel
Definitely, though part of my design was keep it small so i could fit a larger number of the modules into one chunk, i have plans on making a V.2 design, so the criticism is much appreciated ❤️
You cant really see it in the video also, but with regards to the filtering, im using item filters as im having a bug in create lately where items render behind the chute texture and you cant see them clearly, it was for demonstration purposes so you could easily tell there was a filter there
@@skeej_inc already got a lv 9 to fit in a 3x10x6 with cauldron supply.
Usually my designs assume one has an infinite lava source as those are pretty easy to make even in the early game so I haven't worked with cauldron based stm plants in a while.
Did notice the bug yes. Only commented on it because I went about 2 weeks before realizing you didn't need item filters myself.
it is not working
you dont need a filter for just the one item, you can just click with the item
how about just a schematic?
Schematics videos leave no explanation on how things work an people don't learn anything from it.
