      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Gears maybe , they were planed in the early stage of minecraft by notch himslef when he was developing the game.Maybe gears to transmit mechanical power since we are along ways away from electricity posible mechanical sources of energy : watermils , animal power , steam ,posible uses : (more) automated bread production and if pistons and redstone were replaced by this then : to move pistons to power track to setup traps... etc.

Reply in constructive criticizam and don't hate :).

Treading on better than wolves shoes is not a good idea. Also, ideas for steam power were revealed by dunk a while back, though it's all speculation. However, automated screw pumps and millstones would be a bonus (aqueducts for the win).

This sounds fine, but, to be fair, we don't know if there will be an automation like this ever in the mod. And power genuenly gets transferred via axles and belts, gear on the other hand used to change rpm and direction of the power transfer.

Flowerchild has done a good job of coding BTW and all power to him for his work, but he doesn't own history. After good old human muscle power, we used animals and then water/ wind for things like milling wheat and operating hammers and bellows. Not to forget lifting heavy loads from mines, moving water for irrigation and industry and where ever using people was not efficient.

I would love to see some form mechanical power in TFC and hope it is possible.

Okay, I am sorry, but...

Anyways, just because there is mechanical power doesn't mean there is automation. If Dunk and Bioxx come up with a balanced way to implement this, I am all for it.
