Gear Blocks
How to get the beam in the hole?
1. Place a solid, square, armor block, build beam on top of it.
2. Place another solid, square, armor block on top of the beam.
3. Place the gear block with the hole in it on top of the armor block then delete the armor block.

Yup, that's it, unless you are in space and you need some sort of towing ship. Thanks for sharing!

I can't express how grateful I am you made this mod! I've been trying to create some machines for years that I think I can finally pull off with these gears!
I'll be making more videos sharing this mod and what we can do with it!
Thats neat lol I would not of thought of doing it that way id of used pistons or such lol

Yeah I had a brain fart for a bit until I thought of trying it that way. That works vertically to get the "bearing" part on the beam or pinion piece but to do it horizontally is quite a task. I've used pistons to do that.

The easiest way I've found to put a bearing on a gear or wheel horizontally is to set a rotor up horizontally with an armor block on it, put 2 beam or shaft blocks on the side (up side) of the block, do as shown in the video, then turn the rotor so it's horizontal, connect other blocks to it and then the rotor and all the 'build' pieces can be deleted.
id of used a piston and extended it then put block on end. And then gear on side of block and retracted piston myself. Lol i have a thing for pistons

So do I. For no good reason I'm not a fan of using rotors. This mod is of personal interest to me for a lot of things I've been trying to build that just don't work with vanilla parts very well that will work since Yurand was awesome enough to make and share this!

I'm subscribed to only very few workshop items and most of them are my own blueprints that are so old I should probably delete them because they don't work.
I have tons of scripts and mods subbed to. Lol some of them I have edited myself to change values lol So i modded mods lol

I love hinges and pistons. it is often how i make moving parts. for doors i will use rotors or for drilling systems I use a rotor but for script i use you must have 1 rotor.
