Quest Steps
Step 1
Advanced technology requires more effort to learn. Gather the resources you'll need first. Linseed Oil is required for mechanical parts to operate but, once it's expended, you will not get it back after deconstructing a mechanical block.
- • Obtain 8x Wooden Sticks (0/8)
- • Obtain 52x Timber (0/52)
- • Obtain 9x Round Timber (0/9)
- • Obtain 6x Linseed Oil (0/6)
- • Obtain 6x Basic Rope (0/6)
- • Obtain 4x Cloth (0/4)
- • Obtain 4x Wind Mill Blade (0/4)
- • Obtain 1x Mill Stone (0/1)
- • Obtain 10x Wheat Straws (0/10)
- • Obtain 4x Large Stone (0/4)
Step 2
A simple windmill is a perfect demonstration for mechanical blocks. Create a building at least five blocks tall. On a flat outside wall build a Mechanical Gristmill.
- Build Mechanical Gristmill.
Step 3
Build 3 Framed Vertical Mechanical Shafts on top of the gristmill.
- • Place 3x Framed Vertical Mechanical Shaft (0/3)
- • Build 3x Framed Vertical Mechanical Shaft (0/3)
Step 4
On top of the shafts, place a Framed Vertical Mechanical Joint, Down. Make sure the horizontal connector faces away from the building.
- • Place 1x Framed Vertical Mechanical Joint, Down (0/1)
- • Build 1x Framed Vertical Mechanical Joint, Down (0/1)
Step 5
Attach a Mechanical Windmill to the joint. Use 
+
and +
while placing the Mechanical Windmill to change the distance.
- • Place 1x Mechanical Windmill (0/1)
- • Build 1x Mechanical Windmill (0/1)
Step 6
Notice that after attaching the windmill, your mechanical system came alive. if you connected everything properly, the round shafts in all of the mechanical blocks are moving now. However, it does nothing useful. Let's change that by crafting a Coarse Millstone Toolhead for Gristmill on Crafting Table.
- Craft a Coarse Millstone.
Step 7
Each mechanical block added to the system increases friction. If you build a mechanical system that stops, then it has become too large for a single windmill to power. Reduce the amount of transmissions until windmill rotates. Place the toolhead into the mill's toolhead inventory. Add Wheat Straws to the Gristmill's crafting inventory and watch as they are crafted automatically into Flour Sacks.
- Produce 2 Flour Sacks and take them.
