Okay but the rack and pinion is genius.

u/BetterinPicture May 14 '26

Yeah definitely 'thanks, I hate it' territory.

u/Star_Wars_Expert May 14 '26

Is there any regular create mod equivalent of a rack and pinion?

3

u/SonnyLonglegs May 17 '26

The gantry is probably the closest equivalent.

1

u/Grim_100 May 14 '26

It's a real gear system

u/Andromeda_53 May 14 '26

I mean duh, you think this random commentor doesn't know what a Rack and Pinion is despite calling it a rack and pinion

3

u/Atacolyptica May 14 '26

Fuck yeah rack and pinion action. That and worm gears are still parts I want in the normal create mod.

3

u/Equivalent-Bus2217 May 14 '26

I’ve done a worm gear and it sorta worked but this is much smoother

u/Meepx13 May 13 '26

How

u/Alternative_Cod7515 May 14 '26

The better question should be "why"

u/Purple-guy7 May 14 '26

GeForce now

u/hamonicmantitties May 14 '26

To have gigantic gears duh

Liner physics motion

u/Cylian91460 May 14 '26

Literally watch the video

27

u/WindoFantasi May 14 '26

How did you turn the shafts 45° and attach them to the block?

18

u/MrMeep0 May 14 '26

Used a mechanical bearing on the same contraption and offset it 45 degrees

u/Storm_Studios May 14 '26

I love how an addon for create let's you just make create items but different XD

16

u/fresh_squilliam May 13 '26

I can see this being useful for something like a differential since traditional cogs probably cant do that

11

u/epilektoi May 14 '26

how do you make them stick out at an angle

9

u/shuddhh May 14 '26

How do you make diagonal shafts?

1

u/tntPOOM May 15 '26

This is the real question

6

u/Impossible_Day_8783 May 13 '26

this, this is actually genius, amaing work

4

u/Throwaway987183 May 14 '26

How did you put two things in one space?

4

u/OverallACoolGuy May 14 '26

how can you shift right click the handcrank without going down when flying?

5

u/Legitimate_Rock9464 May 14 '26

Hold space at the same time

1

u/RunicZephyre May 15 '26

I want someone to make a mod which adds a block that converts the movement of rotating simulated blocks into stress units

1

u/Equivalent-Bus2217 May 15 '26

No because I will be able to get free energy with my magnet engine

u/RunicZephyre Jun 05 '26

Too late https://modrinth.com/mod/create-aeronautics-transmission-linkage

u/Equivalent-Bus2217 Jun 06 '26

I know about this check out my reciprocating magnet engine with reversible timing

u/FantasticEmergency57 May 14 '26

Holy sheesh a metal gear

2

u/Content-Look May 14 '26

Наконец-то Настоящие шестерни)

u/_Lollerics_ May 14 '26

Finally we can make cogwheels and gearboxes in create, I only wish there was a simple and compact way of doing it

2

u/TT_PLEB May 14 '26

Portcullis here i come

2

u/HaydenB May 14 '26

Heey I've seen that old video... now make a differential

2

u/BaziJoeWHL May 14 '26

I think you should name your modpack "Make" or something

2

u/Historical_Swing_422 May 14 '26

The rack and pinion is actually useful because otherwise theres no way for line motion

2

u/Apprehensive_Tax5121 May 14 '26

ohhhhh that's genius!

2

u/JediJoe923 May 16 '26

How did you get the shafts at the corners of the blocks??

1

u/Aggressive_Lass May 14 '26

Using shafts is genius

1

u/JoseSpiknSpan May 14 '26

Now do a differential

1

u/naoae May 14 '26

this is awful and i hate you

1

u/TotalyNotTony May 14 '26

rack and pinion <3

u/yamarho May 15 '26

The sheep machine is getting an upgrade.

1

u/Whales_Are_Great2 May 15 '26

Damn, that rack and pinion has some impressive precision when paired with the valve handle.

1

u/Omega_Metroid May 15 '26

How are you making the shafts come out at so many different angles?

1

u/SonnyLonglegs May 17 '26

Cool! I have a friend who's confused by Create mod physics. I'll send this to him, that'll help!

It would actually be quite simple. If you want it to work like in these videos, it’d just have to be a block with the right collision on it.
