v1 v2 9 9 [[Image(boiler-assembly.jpeg)]] 10 10 11 This tutorial assumes that you have completed the [wiki:Quern How to make a Quern / Millstone], [wiki:CookingCauldron Make a Cooking Cauldron], [wiki:Refractory Refractory Furnace], and [wiki:CookingCauldron/autofill Auto-hydrating Cooking Cauldron] tutorials. If you haven't completed * all* of those tutorials then some steps in this tutorial may be confusing.11 This tutorial assumes that you have completed the [wiki:Quern How to make a Quern / Millstone], [wiki:CookingCauldron Make a Cooking Cauldron], [wiki:Refractory Refractory Furnace], and [wiki:CookingCauldron/autofill Auto-hydrating Cooking Cauldron] tutorials. If you haven't completed **all** of those tutorials then some steps in this tutorial may be confusing. 12 12 13 13 = Before you Begin 14 14 There are some prerequisites that are not covered by the tutorials that are necessary to complete this tutorial. 15 15 == Flax 16 [[Image(flax-farm.jpeg)]] 17 16 18 Make sure you have a fully-operational flax farm running. You are going to need ''a lot'' of flax to make the various machine components. 17 19 20 == Molybdenum 21 22 You'll need a fair bit of molybdenum for this tutorial, 16 ingots in total. But this shouldn't be an issue for you, you should already have some from completing the ''refractory furnace'' tutorial. 23 18 24 == Location! Location! Location! 19 Before we get started on actually building anything, it is very important that you pick a prime location for the following key things:25 It is very important that you pick a prime location for the following key things: 20 26 * Boiler 21 27 * Machine shop … … 35 41 === Power Changes over Distance 36 42 If you transport any liquid or steam over long distances there are important ramifications to be aware of: 37 * Steam *increases* power the higher it goes *upward*(decreases going downward)38 * Both water and lava *increase* power the lower they are moved *downward*(decreases going upward)43 * Steam ''increases'' power the higher it goes ''upward'' (decreases going downward) 44 * Both water and lava ''increase'' power the lower they are moved ''downward'' (decreases going upward) 39 45 40 If you have insufficient power then your machines will not work. If you have too much power then your pipes will start to explode, which can spread fires and knock-out nearby structures .46 If you have insufficient power then your machines will not work. If you have too much power then your pipes will start to explode, which can spread fires and knock-out nearby structures (incidentally, there is a way to mitigate pipes bursting using iron pipe stands / braces, we will discuss this in another tutorial though). 41 47 42 48 === Quern Placement … … 56 62 [[Image(boiler-recipe.jpeg)]] 57 63 58 Like the thermal accelerator, the boiler must be placed on a stable foundation. Leave enough room to connect ''copper'' and ''bauxite'' pipes at the bottom to transport lava and waterinto it.64 Like the thermal accelerator, the boiler must be placed on a stable foundation. Leave enough room to connect ''copper'' and ''bauxite'' pipes at the bottom to transport water and lava (respectively) into it. 59 65 60 66 == Steam Turbine … … 76 82 [[Image(gear-recipe.jpeg)]] 77 83 78 Now let's craft at least one gear so we can craft our steam turbine, you will need one stick and 4 iron nuggets (to craft an iron nugget just put an iron ingot in your crafting matrix, you'll get 9 nuggets for every ingot).84 Now let's craft at least one gear so we can craft our steam turbine, you will need one stick, 4 iron nuggets (to craft an iron nugget just put an iron ingot in your crafting matrix, you'll get 9 nuggets for every ingot), and 4 flax bundles to produce 4 gears. 79 85 80 86 ==== Turbine … … 89 95 90 96 == Lava and Water Sources 91 This step should be easy for you if you've completed the other tutorials, connect your thermal accelerator and water intake funnel (via bauxite and copper piping respectively) to the **bottom** of your boiler assembly (it doesn't have to be the bottom block, you could connect it to the top block, but you'll get slightly more power if it's connected at the bottom). 97 This step should be easy for you if you've completed the other tutorials, connect your thermal accelerator and water intake funnel (via bauxite and copper piping respectively) to the **bottom** of your boiler assembly (it doesn't have to be the bottom block, you could connect it to the top block, but you'll get slightly more power if it's connected at the bottom). Refer to the illustration at the beginning of this tutorial [wiki:SteamEngine#QuernAutomationMillstone here] for reference. 92 98 93 99 == Mechanical Axles … … 108 114 109 115 === Axles 110 Axles work a lot like pipes, they connect to various machines that work via mechanical power and they connect to gear boxes to change direction or split power into multiple axle lines. 116 Axles work a lot like pipes, they connect to various machines that work via mechanical power and they connect to gear boxes to change direction or split power into multiple axle lines. Moreover, you can still use a ''pipe wrench'' to rotate them even though they aren't technically pipes. 111 117 112 118 [[Image(axle-recipe.jpeg)]] … … 115 121 116 122 == Attach your Quern 117 [[Image(quern-placement )]]123 [[Image(quern-placement.jpeg)]] 118 124 119 125 Now comes the finishing touch, your ''quern'' becomes a mechanical ''millstone'' when it is attached to wooden axles providing mechanical power. Remove the lever on-top of your quern and place axles on it instead connecting it to the ''front'' of your steam turbine (the broad end). Use gear boxes (like corner pipes) to change axle direction as needed. … … 132 138 * Using a ''junction box'' (wooden mechanical axle system) to cut power to the axles 133 139 * Using sticky pistons to physically displace the pipes (not recommended for steam, there's a chance the venting steam will burn-up the pipe that was just displaced, and I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature). 140 141 = Congratulations! You're a Dwarf Now! 142 If you've made it this far through the tutorial you've earned the right and the privilege of being named ''dwarf'' among your people, a prestigious title given to clever engineers and craftsmen. If you're on the ''J+K Lands Whitelist Server'' contact Vonkepps and he'll award you a special magical pipe-wrench. In future tutorials we'll show you how to connect-up multiple machines and expand your pipe network to have more power.
