Wooden Gear

The Wooden Gear is an item that you will use multiple times in Age 0 and Age 1, so it's best to get a good handle on how to craft them.

Age 0 Crafting
In Age 0, crafting the wooden gear is a bit of an involved process. It requires four (4) Red Cedar Planks and four (4) Buffalo Tooth items to craft, both of which are products of the Totemic mod. The process of acquiring them will be briefly detailed, but you can find more info about Totemic online.

Brief Introduction to Totemic Rituals
To get started with Totemic, you should first craft a "Totempedia". This will help to explain some of the concepts of the mod, as well as explain the purposes of the various rituals, as well as how to activate them. Next, you will have to craft a Totem Whittling Knife, which allows for the in-world crafting of totem poles. While you are crafting, go ahead and make at least one (1) or more Totemist Drum(s), one (1) Flute, at least one (1) or more Wind Chime(s), and one (1) Rattle. You can also craft a Jingle Dress if you want, but it is not necessary.

Now that you have all of those items, grab some vanilla saplings (oak, birch, etc.) and some cows, since you need to transform both of these into items from Totemic. Put the cows in a hole/fenced area/whatever you want to keep them contained, plant the saplings, and then construct a totem pole (consisting of one totem base and at least one totem pole) within a 6-block radius of the items you want to transform. The totem pole is constructed by placing any logs (not planks) down, then right-clicking on them with your totem whitting knife on the correct setting. You can change the knife's settings by holding shift with it selected in your hotbar, then scrolling with your mouse wheel. Note that the totems can be up to 6 blocks tall.

With the totem crafted, the cows enclosed, and the saplings planted nearby, place the drum(s) on the ground nearby, put the wind chimes on the underside of a leaf block (you can get leaves by using Flint Shears), and look in the Totempedia for the rituals you need to perform. - To get buffalo, you need to perform the "Buffalo Dance" ritual, which is activated by sneak-right-clicking once on the drum, then once on the wind chime, in order. Once the ritual has been activated, simply play your instruments and fill up the top bar before the bottom bar runs out of time. - For the red cedar saplings (and to make fully-grown animals breed), play the "Rite of Spring" ritual. This is activated by sneak-right-clicking your flute, then a drum. Proceed to play your instruments to fill the bar before the timer runs out once activated.

Congratulations! You now have buffalo and red cedar saplings. Simply wait for your buffalo to reach adulthood before harvesting their teeth, and let the saplings grow into trees, and you're ready to make wooden gears in Age 0!

Age 1 Crafting
As of SevTech version 3.0.8, there are three methods to craft wooden gears in Age 1 and beyond:

- Craft the same way as in Age 0, using buffalo teeth and red cedar planks.

- Using four (4) sticks, four (4) planks of any type, and one (1) glue, following the recipe in the JEI interface. Glue is obtained by putting animal Pelts into a heated cauldron. - After constructing the Saw, simply take a plank and put it on the saw again to make a Planks Siding, then put that on the saw to make Planks Moulding, then put that on the saw to make Planks Corner, then put that on the saw to create a wooden gear.
