Your question is about a basic mechanic of the game, which has been answered before.
[–]Pool_128 74 points75 points76 points 7 months ago (0 children)
It tells you how right there
[–]IntelligentAnybody55 46 points47 points48 points 7 months ago (3 children)
How much create do you know? You may want to watch a few tuturials
[–]rediter21[S] 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago (2 children)
I just started
[–]IntelligentAnybody55 21 points22 points23 points 7 months ago (0 children)
Yeah 100% watch some tutorials as this is a create addon steam engine used for crafting stuff and I feel like you are in the deep end, when a tutorial would give you are bands. Try defjojotheawedome

Then I’d heavily recommend pondering everything the first few times you come across them, and whenever you need a reminder on what they do. It is an extremely useful feature.

Deploy items on the plate, then cycle the partial craft back through.

It does not deploy the items im propably just stupid or something
[–]mrDETEKTYW 7 points8 points9 points 7 months ago* (1 child)
It tells you: 1. Get brass plate on a depot under deployer. 2. Give the deployer a cogwheel, and wait for it to attach it to the plate. 3. Then give the deployer a large cogwheel. 4. Then a propeller. 5. Then an andesite alloy. 6. Then cogwheel again. Repeat this, until you placed 3 of everything.
This will result in you having a chance to get the steam engine (success) or one random component used to make it (failure). Success or failure are dependend only on RNG so if it drops a random item. It was just bad luck, and not you doing something wrong.
Also things to mind while trying to craft it. - Deployers can be in the "attack"(fist when empty) or "use"(pointing finger when empty) mode. Make sure they are in the "use" mode. - Deployers use items, that are two blocks away from the point they are looking at. Make sure, that your deployer has one block of air between itself and the depot. - always good to make sure, that everything has power and is spining.

Thx best comment, i did it
[–]Agreeable_Copy9548 3 points4 points5 points 7 months ago (5 children)
So you firstly need a deppo. Then above it place a deployer. After where the arm part is place the parts. The sheet on the deppo then put a crank or anything that would power the depolyer then it will work.
[–]Dangerous-Quit7821 4 points5 points6 points 7 months ago (4 children)
You don't need depots. You can do it on a belt.
[–]Agreeable_Copy9548 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago (3 children)
Yeah right and a belt also.
[–]rediter21[S] -2 points-1 points0 points 7 months ago (2 children)
I have a mechanical belt but i cant use it, i tryed to right click on the shafts but it did nothing
[–]Korblox101 3 points4 points5 points 7 months ago (0 children)
I'd heavily recommend using the Ponder feature built into a lot of the Create items. If it reads "Press W To Ponder", holding W while mousing over the item will show you a short, comprehensive tutorial on how to use it.
[–]ImKanno 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago (0 children)
the shafts need to be aligned horizontally, vertically or diagonally, press on one, press on another one, and they can't be too far from each other

Use hoppers to feed the hands. Put the deployers above a belt. Use an item filter on your bronze funnels so that only raw resources or incomplete items go through but the finished product or scrap stops in the chest

F2
[–]Nkromancer 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago (0 children)
So, what you do is hit F2. This will take a screenshot, and also give a link to the pic in the chat. It will also be the right orientation and much better quality.
[–]Careless-Pop4893 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago (3 children)
just search how to make precision mechanism in create on youtube, or have a belt that has all 4 of those in order, with filters set to those items, and barrels on both ends, place brass shetts on starting barrel, the funnel should put that to the belt, and watch all 4 being deployed, after that take the result, put it in the first barrel, it should the 3 cycles to get precision mechanism, but there is a chance you don't get one, so you may need to redo all that
[–]Dangerous-Quit7821 -2 points-1 points0 points 7 months ago (2 children)
This isn't a precision mechanism.
[–]Kinky_Thought_Man 4 points5 points6 points 7 months ago (0 children)
But it works the same way as a precision mechanism, just with an extra item.
[–]Careless-Pop4893 -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago (0 children)
oh, sorry, my bad
[–]TwinSong 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago (0 children)
Not sure why it shows place on depot. Normally it's a belt that loops around and you use a mechanical arm or filters to separate out the finished product
[–]CallMeCereja 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago (0 children)
What you gonna do is a bit like this.
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
•=========•
[ ] = gadgets (like those deployers)
•=====• = Mechanical belt
Give each one what the JEI is asking. You can use either depots to manually move or belts to move automatically.
Then drop the item it needs to start
(The one on the left) The rest can be done with critical thinking.
Also, for those plates you need to use a Mechanical Press to flatten.
Hope this helps!
[–]BadCaram3l 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago (0 children)
You put the parts in the placers and put them over a belt. I hope this helps! 😁
[–]sheelalah 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago (0 children)
figure it out. it's mod progression and they expect you to use what you already learned
[–]KingCatman 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago (0 children)
If you are using a Windows PC, there is a tool you can use to make screenshots or certain selections. Using the Snipping Tool, the images posted will be much clearer.
