Convenient Large Water Wheel

Just want to drop a "Thank you" here, Bob. I allready had tons of fun with your mods in Factorio and now you make my day again =)

"It's mostly about changing the support block. normally you can only connect a power shaft to the end of it, in line with the wheel's center, but this mod makes it a 4 way junction so you can connect on the other sides too.

You can also place a platform on that block."

Tried to connect power shaft to the top - it does not work. Tried to put a "vanilla" platform onto it - it does not accept it.

Still learning about mechanics of the game...

Edit: And I have managed to connect shatf from top. You have to put "vanilla" platform on top of it in the first place. It makes a sandwitch.

Thanks - I love this mod and it is in fact the only one I use (because I play on both Mac and Windows) and Harmony doesn't run on Mac :-(

the experimental branch was so stable that I forgot it was experimental :-)

@Doomsday
Yeah, the latest experimental is one of those that broke A LOT of mods.
Including the unbreakable Harmony!

I'll fix this when I get around to it. In the mean time, if you want to use mods (not just mine), you're probably better off sticking to stable until people have a chance to update things.

Convenient Large Water Wheel crashes the game with the latest experimental update of today (26 May 2025)

Any chance of adding a bottom power connection too, so we can put this atop a solid power shaft and get the power that way, similar to how the non-solid power shaft works?

Great mod, BTW.

@anden93dk Can you be more specific?

This mod doesn't add anything new, it just edits the Ironteeth Large Water Wheel.
Other mods like "Platform over large water wheel" also edit the same entity, so you can't use them both, only one or the other.

i have tryed it and its not work

@ZombieSlayer It updates the Iron Teeth Large Water Wheel, so, that's right, only for Iron Teeth.

So, it doesn't work with Folktails, Water Beavers and Emberpelts.

But if you have another mod that adds it to another faction, like Greedy Builders, it will work for them too.

only for Iron Teeth??
