Crafting and Placing the Boilerbox
Assembling the Boilerbox
To construct a steam-powered car using the Create Automotives Mod, you must first craft the core chassis: the Boilerbox. Set up a mechanical crafter system from the Create mod and process the required components to craft the Boilerbox item. Take care to ensure your crafter layout is fully powered and connected properly so the crafting sequence completes.
Placing the Vehicle in the World
Once crafted, hold the Boilerbox in your hand and right-click on the ground to place it down into the world. Choose a flat, open space so that you have ample room to drive and maneuver once the vehicle is fully assembled. Placing the Boilerbox spawns the base structure of your vehicle, matching the visual style and mechanical aesthetic of the Create mod.
You will see several functional components attached to the base, including the driver's seat, upgrade points, and the fluid tanks. Take time to inspect the exterior, as you will need direct access to the side panels and seat during operation. Make sure the vehicle is completely unobstructed by surrounding terrain blocks before moving on to fueling and startup.
