So let's get on with it.
Conveyor belts, let's do the thing.
I've created a little scenario here of some buildings that I've just kind of put down for myself.
And what we're going to try and do is, the goal for the scenario is to create reinforced iron plates.
And these are available in the assembly here.
And so what we need for reinforced iron plates are plates and screws, iron plates and screws.
So that's what we need to make.
And so before we can make anything, we need resources.
And this is a miner sitting on top of some iron ore. And if we open that up, it's not doing anything because it has no power, of course.
So let's make some power.
Go down to power, grab a biomass burner, and we'll put that out here like this.
okay cool we have it we have a look in here it has no fuel so of course we need some fuel so i'm going to run around and just pick up some leaves this isn't the only way to the only thing you can put into a biomass burner but it is what huh
But it is what I'm going to be putting in there for now.
And that's probably what you're going to be doing in the beginning of the game.
Just grabbing leaves and then putting them into the biomass burner.
So let's put some in here.
I've used cheats to make my fuel last for, you know, like ever.
So here we go.
Let's plug the... And you can see there's like a green light on here now because it's working.
And that one has a red light.
So if we plug the power line into the miner...
Then we can see the light has gone green and the animations have started and it's gonna start digging out some iron ore.
