how to make electric engines?

[kai]

im not sure how to get the lubricant into the machine crafter ;-;

[SuicidalBanana]

you place the automaker thingy and select the electric engine. It should now have a pump on one side that you can send lubricant into

Didn't work for me.

Yeah getting the pumps lined up correctly took some trying for me too - you don't normally have to rotate the Factories but in this case (or any situation requiring liquid insertion) you may have to rotate the factory and fiddle around with your pipes a bit to get it all to line up correctly.

You need to use a second tier factory or better. The blue or yellowy factory.

I wouldn't be asking this question if I know the descriptions says that you can only make items with 2 materials for the first automated crafter...

Oh hey Cougar! You play this too? Small world. From what I see the input pipe doesn't appear until you choose an item to manufacture that includes liquid in it's construction.

Hi Lu! That's an excellent point that I totally forgot to mention. Been a while since I set up a new liquids line.

Thank you!
