Steam Engines Simple Tutorial Plataform [3.2.9] (Slightly Outdated)

Being fed up with how crazy and unpredictable Steam Engines are to build and how little tutorials are there, I decided to make my own.

The plataform has wooden signs with the important bits and the text displays (only work with UI turned on) have more details and personal notes. Feel free to coment, correct and add suggestions! I do hope this helps you out!

The plataform is 90% complete now. The only parts missing are Steam Valves and Steam Tanks. I'll cover them when they are patched.

If i have the patience i'll write a guide down on the forums, but feel free to do it for me. XD (but link to this page too, if this plataform helped you. T^T)
