ok but seriously how the forget do i use rotarycraft
like i'm too used to wires
As someone of the tech masterrace, i can give you the answer. (BTW, Read the handbook.)
It is difficult but rewarding. First off, you need a generator. To start, you should use the DC Generator. It only requires to be powered by redstone. The DC has an issue and that is the fact that almost no machines can use its power. Make some shafts to transport the power. Rotarycraft is special when it handles power. It uses two factors. Torque and Speed. Having more speed in a machine make it faster, more torque in a machine does nothing. You can use special gears to transfer speed and torque to the other type but with a cost of efficency.
The first machine you need to make is a grinder. Beware the fact that the DC does not produces enough power so you will need a steam engine that is powered by Water and Heat. The heat does not matter, it just has to be a source of heat like lava or fire under the machine. Water can be put in manually or pumped in at the back. You also will need a 4:1 wooden gearbox. Beware that this does not make the machine go super fast. To complete a single operation it needs to take 24 seconds. The steam engine also has a temperature factor that can make it go explode.
"BUT WHY DO YOU NEED A GRINDER" You might ask. Well, its really useful. You know those macerators and grinders from other mods that double your ore? Well this machine when you add in most ores it actually triples them! Also that gearbox from earlier? It requires lubricant to stay functional. To make lubricant you need to process canola into the grinder.
To add more speed, first you need a fermenter. The fermenter is good in that you can power it with a DC electric engine so it does not require complex stuff. However adding a faster engine does make it faster. The machine needs water to run so be sure to fill it with water First, you need to make yeast. Add sugar at the top slot of the machine and dirt at the bottom and you should get yeast. Afterwards, add in plant matter(Can be leaves, wheat or sugar cane.)at the bottom and the yeast at the top to make sludge. Now, put the sludge into a furnace and you should get Ethanol Crystals.
Now, make a Gasoline Engine. Once you have your gasoline engine, simply put ethanol crystals in there and it should convert them into liquid ethanol that it can use as fuel.
