Yes, there's a bunch of different ones in different colors and a creative one. If they're not showing up the mod may not be loading right for you. Are you using Community Edition?

dose the jerrycan even exist?
Granjor Jan 4 @ 1:15am 
each time i revisit this mod the pipes dont place and theres no way to get water or lube
Johnbeere Jan 4 @ 1:07am 
Watch the attached video
Granjor Jan 4 @ 1:04am 
It would help greatly to know where to place what and how to manage inventories.
Granjor Jan 4 @ 12:53am 
my whole build is a lifeless husk because of this
Granjor Jan 4 @ 12:52am 
you used to be able to just add fuel and oil and it worked now it seem i need a whole room of tanks machines and pipes just to do the same thing
Granjor Jan 4 @ 12:50am 
all my pipes are just falling to the floor
Granjor Jan 4 @ 12:48am 
Is there a guide to this thing yet? I miss not having to be an actual engineer to figure out mods.
Johnbeere Jan 4 @ 12:32am 
You can attach them anywhere, but you should watch the video on how to use pipes that's attached to the mod
Granjor Jan 4 @ 12:23am 
The steam engine isn't accepting any of the pipe placements i try. Where to we attach our pipes?
Johnbeere Feb 2, 2024 @ 1:02pm 
They need fuel, water, and lubricant, then need to be turned on and let warm up for a minute or two, then you need to throttle them with keybinds. They do work fine

Seem to not work, tried lot of things but that don't rotate, the pistons only moves when i move manualy the vehicle, but the engine start but nothing move
(I attempted with other created vehicle, lots dont work)

Only the "Water output tank" and "Salt Water" are filled
aNOOBis Jan 20, 2024 @ 7:49pm 
I don't have water coming into the steam engine, from the pump, from the canister, from the tank, it doesn't work

У меня не поступает вода в паровой двигатель, что с насоса, что с канистры, что с цистерны не получается
Johnbeere Jan 6, 2024 @ 6:49pm 
You place the pump down and power it with mechanical blocks like a windmill, and use pipes or jerrycans to fill engines with water
aNOOBis Jan 6, 2024 @ 6:43pm 
What is the source of water in small blocks? A water pump, if so, where should it pump water from? I'm sorry, I'm not smart
peaceman  [author] Jan 6, 2024 @ 2:11pm 
Watch the video on this page. You need to add water
aNOOBis Jan 6, 2024 @ 4:46am 
ничего не пойму, куда теперь масло класть, почему движки немного поработают, а потом перестают, зачем существует английски язык?
ASmasher100 Dec 9, 2023 @ 8:59pm 
thanks a lot
Johnbeere Dec 9, 2023 @ 12:21pm 
Pretty sure that's in the description of jerrycans
ASmasher100 Dec 9, 2023 @ 8:09am 
another question how do turn linseed oil from the jar into fluid
Johnbeere Dec 8, 2023 @ 3:09pm 
Valves and pipes - watch the video linked to this workshop page
ASmasher100 Dec 8, 2023 @ 3:04pm 
how do you pump water and oil into the engine
havocs1085 Dec 3, 2023 @ 1:21pm 
Thanks everyone!
Johnbeere Dec 3, 2023 @ 12:18am 
Compressed air is for operating engines underwater
havocs1085 Dec 3, 2023 @ 12:08am 
@Phooenix THANKS. Also is the (air intake compressor block) part of this mod? I have figured out how to get it to work however i tested it and don't see any difference in the steam engines performance with the compressed air tank full vs empty ........is the compressed air for something else?
Phooenix Nov 30, 2023 @ 6:52am 
Continue -> For example connecting a water tank and a lubrication tank to an engine you need so specify on the steam engine (reciever) that the water hose goes to the internal water tank in the engine and same for the lubrication hose, and to aim correctly on the outlet have made me swear many times, sometimes it like a pixel you need to aim at and sometimes the place you need to aim is outside the thing. And dont place it near the other accessports because then you won't be able to click on it because it will autoselect the inventory for coal for the engine.
Phooenix Nov 30, 2023 @ 6:52am 
@havocs1085
The water pump can you setup like anywhere because it pumps up "groundwater", plop it down anywhere and it is a mechanical block so i just run a mechanical shaft up and then two windmills on either side. Same with refinery and manufacturers (ok another mod lol but i think the water pump is from another mod also and not in this mod specifically). After the pump have been placed you can place a tank beside it and either connect from the pump to the tank with pipes or use a hose (crafted in the spinning wheel with leather and somthing other i can't remember exactly) you also need a inlet/outlet thing for it, and when connecting them with steam engines it can be fiddly to aim correctly to set up the correct output.
havocs1085 Nov 30, 2023 @ 4:04am 
Could someone make a video showing the use of most of the blocks. id really like to know what the function of the water pump/ fluid dumper is for and how they are set up for example.
Johnbeere Nov 18, 2023 @ 2:10pm 
do /tide help or /help tide, don't remember which order. It'll give you a list of commands that can be used to adjust the water
SuperMaago Nov 18, 2023 @ 1:56pm 
not sure what is going on with the mod but my worlds are flooded with water, is there a way to either remove said water or lower the level?
peaceman  [author] Nov 16, 2023 @ 1:36pm 
You can make plates in the forge with bronze ingots in your inventory. Pipes can be made when you have plates in your inventory
Godric Nov 16, 2023 @ 10:28am 
i'm having issues making the engine. There is no way to make bronze pipes or plates.
Phooenix Oct 20, 2023 @ 8:27am 
I might add that I'm on the community edition.
Phooenix Oct 19, 2023 @ 10:51am 
And another, less important and separate issue, if im holding a jerrycan and empty it, then switch to another filled jerrycan to the same hand the game crashes
Phooenix Oct 19, 2023 @ 10:50am 
To fill the huge steam engine with water from a jerrycan filled with water, when i click when water is selected in the menu it just makes the "creaky" sound
Johnbeere Oct 19, 2023 @ 10:39am 
What exact step doesn't work?
Phooenix Oct 19, 2023 @ 9:55am 
@Johnbeere Yes i know, but it doesn't work. I have a bunch of other mod but nothing that should conflict, other than the advanced steam engine mod.
Johnbeere Oct 17, 2023 @ 9:00pm 
When you middle click the engine with the jerrycan, it should cycle inventories, then when it's on the water inventory left click.
Phooenix Oct 17, 2023 @ 8:52pm 
Tried with the creative jerrycan also but still didn't work.
Phooenix Oct 17, 2023 @ 8:44pm 
Seems i can't fill Huge steam engines with water from jerry cans, i do have the advanced steam engine mod installed aswell.
Ibbo2000 Feb 12, 2023 @ 12:59pm 
@Johnbeere thank you very much I think that's where I was going wrong now lol
Johnbeere Feb 12, 2023 @ 12:56pm 
The engine nowadays do work differently - they need water to run
Ibbo2000 Feb 12, 2023 @ 12:31pm 
@Kill3rCat [1st FORECON] Okay I'm sorry there is no need to be sarcastic, I was asking because I have not played the game for a while and have noticed all my engines are no longer working. Idk if this is due to a update change to how they work now or what, so I am guessing from your comment no one else is having problems
Kill3rCat [1st FORECON] Feb 12, 2023 @ 8:43am 
@Ibbo2000 considering it was updated 8 days ago, what do you think?
Ibbo2000 Feb 12, 2023 @ 7:25am 
Is this mod still working?
MAassassinoTS Sep 26, 2022 @ 6:49pm 
thanks
Kill3rCat [1st FORECON] Sep 24, 2022 @ 2:12pm 
You only need the compressed air if it's running underwater, otherwise it's just water, lubricant and fuel
peaceman  [author] Sep 24, 2022 @ 1:27pm 
The air compressor creates compressed air. You can do with it what you want. Send it directly to the engine or store in, in case your making a submarine :D
