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 52 Timber (0/52)
Obtain 8 Round Timber (0/8)
Obtain 6 Linseed Oil (0/6)
Obtain 6 Basic Rope (0/6)
Obtain 4 Cloth (0/4)
Obtain 4 Wind Mill Blade (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 3 Framed Vertical Mechanical Shaft (0/3)
Build 3 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 1 Framed Vertical Mechanical Joint, Down (0/1)
Build 1 Framed Vertical Mechanical Joint, Down (0/1)

Step 5

Attach a Mechanical Windmill to the joint. Use Control+Mouse Wheel Up and Control+Mouse Wheel Down while placing the Mechanical Windmill to change the distance.

Place 1 Mechanical Windmill (0/1)
Build 1 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.
