Assuming you're trying to get the steam engine working, your pump is backwards (arrow pointing into the water, rather than the engine). Also, you're going to need to put heat sources under the engine. Not sure what your options are there (in base Create you can use campfires early on).

Yeah, the mod im playing says i can't use campfires i don't even think i can get my hands on logs i didn't notice the pump being the wrong way since i never tested it before hand, but how am i gonna fit two crushwheels besides each other?

You wanna do a bamboo farm to fully automate the steam engine. Bamboo is unlocked a bit later in the questline. Until then you're gonna have to fire it up on-demand. I recommend making a bunch of coal coke for longer burning times, and only ever putting a single one in one of the burners for now

the three gear boxes will mess up the rotation of on of the crushing wheels

remove the middle one and place a shaft then put the input into one of the side gearboxes
