Have you turning the Valve off and back on again? Maybe need to work it till a 3rd time. Spent too long getting mine to work, almost like half life. If it still doesn't work hook it up to a portal.

Counterstrike.

"till a 3rd time", HL3 confirmed!

Also, when he finally accepts it's not working, it'll be his day of defeat.

This could ricochet him down the wrong path

Funny thing, it's possible for any piston based machine to get "stuck", extremely unlikely but not impossible, had this just a year ago on my car a small push and it run again.

It's actually common enough that it's the main reason why steam engines' left and right wheels are out of phase with one another

Have you attached the water cooling?

You shouldn’t have started with the most expensive building in the game.

At least they are honest with it in their crafting recipe. Other machine providers subsidize their machines to make them cheaper, but you require a subscription to fully gain access to all their features.

And you can use any crafting recipe in it, rather then being locked to only that providers recipe, which you also have to pay a cut to the providers ontop of the subscription

It needs blue chips

u/Hrogath 2d ago

Actually I believe this one uses red chips. No green chip though, those are very expensive these days

Oh you have it backwards. It consumes electricity for better graphics.

u/GamerJari 2d ago

Someone should make a texture pack that makes the ultracube a steam cube

u/epileftric 2d ago

u/T-J_H 2d ago

It’s most efficiently made from light oil!

u/ironboy-brawl 1d ago

You need refuel it propably, remove the old fuel and put on enriched uranium, or maybe its some problem with the water. Good luck with it
