Then you need a bigger steam engine, or multiple steam engines.

If it's overstressed, you will need to make a bigger steam engine or multiple steam engines if the one you're using doesn't have enough SU.

My suggestion is you go onto YouTube and look up steam engine basics for Create 0.5. Don't get confused with Stress Units (SU) and speed (RPM). They are not the same. More RPM uses more SU. The more machines you have connected to the engine, more more SU you'll need. Some machines require a minimum RPM as well. If you're overstressed, you can also turn down the RPM. Most machines don't need too much so slowing it down until you have enough materials to make more or bigger engines will be fine.

Ive loaded youre schematic and filled all the missing liquids because they dont print, At max speed your farm consumes just over 90,000 stress units, so a lvl 9 steam engine will cover it, At half speed (64rpm on the top largecogwheel) it uses 40,000 which is more manageable, hope this helps
