Getting started with Create

Create turns rotation into useful machines. Start with a small hand-powered setup, then add machines when you have a job for them.

Step 1: Make Andesite Alloy

Andesite Alloy is the foundation for early Create components. Make some before you plan a machine.

Step 2: Make rotation

Craft a Shaft, Cogwheel, and Hand Crank.

Place the hand crank on a shaft and turn it. Cogwheels carry, change, and redirect that rotation.

Step 3: Build your first machine

Start with a Mechanical Press. Give it rotational power and use it when a recipe calls for pressing.

Step 4: Add a Basin and Mixer

When you need to combine items or fluids, put a Basin under a Mechanical Mixer. The mixer needs rotation just like the press.
