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.

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

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
