Steam engines don't do anything inside factory mk1. Am I doing something wrong? The factory is connected power wise and the boilers have enough fuel (and output to the steam engines).

I'm also using bob's mods but that shouldn't matter. I'm running the most recent live version of Factorio.

Edit: Nm, didn't see the yellow arrow in the factory.

I seem to be having trouble with this too - not getting the MK1 to output its power. I've changed the throughput settings and rotated the yellow arrow to no effect.

-edit- Solution found!

I had remapped the hotkey for changing output direction to ALT-R. What confused me is that my 'rotate object' hotkey is R. So when I hovered the mouse over the yellow arrow and hit R, it would rotate the arrow but that doesn't actually change the output direction. I had to hit ALT-R to change output direction!

The sad part is: this isn't the first time I've forgotten about this lol

Wow, I finally understand how people have been having that particular issue. I'll need to fix that.

Really fantastic mod btw. This really makes the playing field a little more reasonable with the more complicated mods (bobs/angels - I'm looking at you).
