Why Can't I forge?

[Cruddi The Gamer Dad]

I've set up a basic weapon forge to play with, but for some reason i can't craft anything, i've got all the the correct componets n the forge and it's fully powered but still won't do anything.

Can anyone help?

You don't create weapons, you mod them. You also need specific perks

I think he's talking about the Contaptions bit, since it's powered.

Cruddi, you need to create a terminal and tell the forge what to build....

[Cruddi The Gamer Dad]

done that, everything is connected. When i select the 10mm pistol it does nothing

You need to add the materials

I have already added the mats, it's fully wired up all the belts are moving unless i just don't have enough power.

I currently have 3 5 power generators hooked together, (machine needs 12, comp needs 1, belt needs 1 and storage needs 1 which = 15 power requred) i'll add a 4th and see what happens

store and place the forge?

Try cycling power and reselecting what you want to build. My ammo forge wouldn't build at first, but that got it working. It might have taken a few tries, I can't remember.

cool, i'll try both of them later and report back :)

are u using a pylon? wire each generator to the pylon, then 1 wire from pylon to each device.

[Cruddi The Gamer Dad]

not using a pylon, just a connector on the wall/roof

1, u can't wire a generator to a generator.
When you take a wire from generator u see it sparking, ok that spark goes along your chain of devices if no spark you got a bad connection.

I gave up on the guns for now, the ammo forge is working though

Yes you can wire a generator to another generator I do it all the time.
