Tutorial BasicComputer

This tutorial will demonstrate how to build a simple computer.

The first step is getting all the materials: you'll need a Basic Case, a Basic Screen, a Keyboard, a Basic Graphics Card, some RAM, a Power Converter and lastly, some power source. We'll use a BuildCraft Stirling Engine in this example.

Now place them like in this image: Note that you can actually place them in any constellation you wish, as long as the blocks are next to each other. Just keep in mind that the keyboard can only be attached to a screen.

Make sure your energy source actually produces energy and feeds it into the converter (e.g. when using Thermal Expansion energy cells make sure the right faces emit power).

Now open the inventory of the Basic Case you just placed and insert the graphics card and the RAM into it:

After you've done that, press the power button (the big button in the middle of the GUI). And that's it, you should have a running computer!

Next up: writing programs.
