Can you please log it as a bug on the Github repository here: Issues · chessmaster42/mechanicalmod · GitHub and make sure that your stonehearth.log file is linked in. If you can’t or don’t feel comfortable doing that you can also PM me the details but I would prefer it to be on Github.
Also, are you using any other mods? Is that on a clean save or a save from an older version of the mod? If it’s a save from v0.3.0+ then you should be fine and the cause is somewhere else.
ok ty i’ll try it out tonight
i rename : mechanicalmod.smod
i use the last zulser.smod
But i reloaded the file before promoting, now it work fine.
Try cycling your carpenter to make sure they have the latest recipe list. Meaning, assign them to basic worker then back to carpenter. The game caches the recipe lists in each hearthling so if recipes have changed you need to cycle their job.
Just release v0.7.0 and this one is mostly a bug-fix/improvement release.
The biggest fix in this release is with the gear box. You can now properly change speed and torque ratios with the gear box machine which will be necessary because the production machines now have speed and torque requirements. The gear box ratio can be set in the machine details UI with a slider on the Settings tab. Also, the speed and torque values of a machine are displayed on the machine details UI in the General tab.
Also, I have now included a link to my microworld that I test with. This microworld is setup with a number of basic resources as well as several of every machine type for you to play with. I will continue to update it as more machines are added to this mod.
So test the crap out of this and let me know if anything is broken!
Enjoy 
Rolling 'em out fast today. I have v0.8.0 out now. This update adds new content including two new production machines as well as some bug fixes.
Right now the Lumber resource is only used for crafting the barrels but there is more on the way. These barrels, along with Corn Meal, are the ingredients for the recipe in the Fermenter to produce ethanol. Also, the ethanol from the Fermenter is the first of many different recipes that will exist for it later. The primary use of the ethanol will be a fuel but I’m sure some clever hearthlings will find “alternative” uses for it 
Lastly, I’m still looking for any and all feature and machine ideas. There’s tons of stuff still coming but your ideas help me a ton with determining what I’m building and when it’s coming out. So let me know what you think of what’s already here and what you guys want me to add.
Enjoy!
Wow, you really are 
. I like the change to torque and speed values.
edit. Works great.
I haven’t updated in a few days but mostly taking a break after the last few big updates. Still looking for community input on machine ideas. No idea is too crazy or out-of-character here because eventually there will be packs for everything from ancient mechanisms to machines of the future. That way people can choose a machinery theme that suits their tastes (e.g. Ancient, Steampunk, Modern, Future). But in order to get the content together for the base mod as well as these I need your ideas!
So let me know what you guys want and what kind of crazy machines you can think up 
I think automation would be cool in general.
Hoppers,
Conveyor belt,
Elevators,
Pistons (able to move blocks? Dams, gates),
Plow (able to work multiple tiles for quicker farming),
Automated melting + molds,
Steam, not just as a stat but a physical element/“block”, have a enclosed “room” where you can heath water and collect the steam at the top, use leather to make balloons. (Hey, I could go crazy so I’m going to). Maybe pipes to transport the steam, be able to use the pressure and manage it good or else “kaboom”,
Tar use tar to make elements water / air tight not a machine buuuuut… 
Everything build upon loose components that some share, (once again referring to BTW).
Love your mods
I want a giant mechanical semi-automaton that takes a dozen-car steam train and turns it into an explosive flail weapon. The machine itself should have a working scale model of the Stonehearth solar system operating inside its chest, with the hearthling commanding the behemoth suspended within the sun of the model while symbols of arcane lore orbit around him or her.
And what the heck–throw in a shoulder-mounted wombat projectile system with homing capabilities while we’re at it.
(By the way, you’ll need to make a train first.)
Just want to let you guys know that I’m not dead but rather taking a short break from modding in general. I was working on mods for several games (including this game) at the same time and was getting worn out. Here soon I will be picking back up where I left off with this mod but I do still need more ideas from you folks.
My thoughts on suggested ideas so far:
Related to my comment about secondary modules I plan to close up the main mod pretty soon as far as content goes. Most other content will be put into separate mini-mods that depend on the main mod. They will add things like steam machinery, electric machinery (and power distribution), and probably one that’s futuristic themed as well.
Keep the suggestions coming and hopefully here soon I’ll sit back down with this code and get many of these implemented
Can you link to some of your other mods? You’ve got a fan here and he’d like to see more!
Maybe integrating of cooking food, a cauldron or a furnace?
Uhm I’m using this mod with the latest 335 build, and I can’t find any of the wooden recipes in the carpenters GUI. (Wood Shaft, Wood Cog and Wood Base). My mason has the stone versions, but not my carpenter… Any Ideas?
Any other mods? I had this exact problem, but fixed it. If removing other mods doesn’t help, I can send you a patched file.
Tried removing the other mods I’m using, but I still can’t find any carpenter recipes. Your help would be much appreciated
And after you removed the mods, did you try creating a new world? If you did and it still does not work, you can do a workaround where you edit the .smod file like so:
(This works if the containers section shows. If that too does not show, i cannot help you.)
Here’s the relevant section of the file:
(p.s, don’t add the “(comma!)” section)
"name" : "Containers",
"recipes" : {
"wood_barrel": {
"recipe": "file(wood_barrel_recipe.json)"
}, (COMMA! )
"wood_cog" : {
"recipe" : "file(wood_cog_recipe.json)"
},
"wood_shaft" : {
"recipe" : "file(wood_shaft_recipe.json)"
},
"wood_base" : {
"recipe" : "file(wood_base_recipe.json)"
}
}Well I tried your suggestion and still no recipes in the carpenters workshop. But thank you for the try anyways
