The Mechanical Press is one of the earliest and most important machines in Create. It is used to either press or compact ingredients underneath it.
The '''Mechanical Press''' is a mechanical component that applies Pressing, Packing, and Compacting recipes to items below it. It is an important early-game item, as it is used to press Ingots into Sheets, which are important ingredients for higher-level components.


Its primary use is to press ingots into plates, which are used extensively in machine recipes.


Mechanical Presses are powered by an internal [[Shaft]], accessed from two opposite sides. Much like shafts, presses will relay [[rotation]] along their axis. It will always press/compact items at the same speed, regardless of how much power is provided to it.

The Mechanical Press is a mechanical component that applies Pressing, Packing, and Compacting recipes to items below it. It is an important early-game item, as it is used to press Ingots into Sheets, which are important ingredients for higher-level components.


The Mechanical Press is powered by an internal Shaft, accessed from two opposite sides. Much like Shafts, Presses will relay rotation along their axis. It processes items faster when it receives faster rotational power.

Usage

Pressing

By default, the Mechanical Press will apply Pressing recipes to items underneath it. This can be set up in two ways:

  • When placed one space above any block, it will process all stacks of valid items on the block when given a rotational power. Items with no pressing recipe are unaffected.
  • When placed one space above a Mechanical Belt, it will automatically press stacks of incoming items, stalling the belt until each operation is done. Items with no pressing recipe are ignored.

1 Gold Ingot 1 Gold Sheet
1 Copper Ingot 1 Copper Sheet
1 Brass Ingot 1 Brass Sheet
1 Lapiz Lazuli Block 1 Lapis Sheet

1 Grass Block

1 Grass Path

Packing and Compacting

When a Mechanical Press is placed above a Basin, it will apply Packing or Compacting recipes to ingredients in the Basin.

  • Packing recipes are any 2x2 or 3x3 Crafting recipe consistent entirely of the same item. (For example, the Press will Pack four String into one Wool, as the corresponding Crafting recipe is 2x2).
    • The Mechanical Press will begin Packing items as soon as there are enough of the same item. (This means that if you want to Pack Iron Ingots into Blocks, you'll need to put an Iron Block in the Basin's Recipe Filter. Otherwise you run the risk of the Press turning your Ingots into a Trapdoor once there are four ingots in the Basin.)
  • Compacting recipes are as follows:

The Press will automatically process any valid recipe it detects inside the Basin, regardless if there are leftovers inside, as long as the Basin has inventory space remaining.
