It is used to either press or compact ingredients underneath it. + +Its primary use is to press Ingots into [[Plates|Create's-Materials]], used extensively in machine recipes, such as [[Casings|Casing]]. + +Mechanical Presses are powered by an internal [[shaft|Generate-and-Convey#Shaft]], accessed from two opposite sides. Much like shafts, adjacent Presses will power each other, and relay [[rotation|The-Basics-of-Rotation-in-Create]] along their axis. It will always press/compact items at the same speed, regardless of how much power is provided to it. + +## Pressing + +By default, the Mechanical Press will try to stamp items underneath it. This can be set up in two ways: + +- When placed one space above any block, it will process all stacks of items above the block when given a Redstone signal; +- When placed above a [[conveyor belt|Generate-and-Convey#Belt]], it will automatically press stacks of incoming items, stalling the belt until each operation is done. + +The Press will activate for any items, regardless of having a valid recipe. Any incompatible items are simply left unchanged. + +## Compacting + +When a Mechanical Press is placed above a [[Basin]], it will begin compacting ingredients instead of pressing them. This will attempt to craft the basin's contents into a 2x2 (e.g. Glowstone Block) or 3x3 grid shape (e.g. Block of Iron) + +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. \ No newline at end of file
