Gearbox

The Wooden Gearbox is a gearbox added by Better With Mods. It is used to transfer Mechanical Power with the help of Axles to power other machines from the mod.

Age 1 and Up
In Age 1 and above, the wooden gearbox is crafted using four (4) thin slabs, two (2) Wooden Gears, two (2) bronze plates, and one (1) axle. You can also craft a broken wooden gearbox back into a wooden gearbox using two (2) wooden gears.

Age 2 and Up
A new recipe appears in Age 2, which makes use of the Saw. The recipe can now be made using four (4) Planks Moulding, two (2) wooden gears, two (2) bronze plates, and one (1) axle.

Age 3 and Up
Steel Gearboxes become available in Age 3 through the acquisition of soul urns and soulforged steel, steel gearboxes can run during rain, snow or thunderstorms without breaking when attached to a Windmill (BWM). The process of creating Soulforged Steel requires a Turntable, a Brick Kiln (BWM) and a stoked Crucible, materials required are alot of clay for urns, iron ingots and charcoal dust.

Usage
Simply place a gearbox on an axle that is already connected to a Water Wheel (BWM) and make sure that the side with the design on it is on the receiving side. The gearbox can be rotated by shift-right-clicking on it with an empty hand. Once the gearbox is properly powered, simply place axles on any free side to get power, with up to 3 sides being able to provide power at once. You can link gearboxes in lines and configurations infinitely, as long as they all receive power. The gearbox will stop transferring mechanical power when it is provided with a redstone signal.

If a Thunderstorm occurs, and the power source is a Windmill (BWM), the gearbox closest to the source of power will become a Broken Wooden Gearbox unless it is turned off by a redstone signal. Broken wooden gearboxes cannot be used to transfer power but can be crafted back into wooden gearboxes in a Crafting Table or by right clicking on it with 2 Wooden Gear.
