>>344792094
yes
>>344791215
you electricity cable needs to be near your steam engine
>>344792327
there are
>>344792327
it's either that or you're not drawing power from it. steam engines won't run if the power isn't needed somewhere,

Get coal manually into the boils. The grabbers need electricity to run.
thx anons
>All that oil
Jesus fuck anon, what were your map generation settings?
>>344791215
Are those coal powered inserters? It looks like the aren't working so your boilers aren't heating the water to power the steam engine.
I have no idea why coal powered inserters even exist in this game since you can easily make yellow inserters at the start.
>>344793471
using coal inserters is good for your first steam engine, because you will have a large abundance of coal and you dont have to manually fill the boilers. you also then don't have electrically powered inserters eating into your power supply from the get go.
btw OP, the ratio should be 14 boilers to 10 steam engines, if i recall correctly.

Your steam engine is not connected to your electricity poles.
>>344791215
Ensure that the steam engine is connected to something that is using/(wants to use) Power right now via power cables. Each device needs to have at least one square on a square that is being powered by a pole.
have they released .23 yet
>>344796345
I mean .13
Had a lot of fun with this game until reaching the oil stage and building robots.
Became a real fucking grind at that point.
>>344796465
>building robots
Impossible, once you have robots the game is in easy mode
>>344791215
It isn't working because the pump isn't connected to the pipe.
>>344791215
Shit what game is this again?
>>344796446
Yeah, just got its first patch too.
Flamethrower is broken tier powerful now
Were twin headed trains a thing before this patch? I remember trying to make them earlier but they didn't work. Its so nice not having to make massive turnabouts for every shitty outpost.
>>344791215
Pump isn't connected, silly.
