Compact your machines with these Create Mod Building Tips!

[@Dragoon42]

Can also dye your belts by clicking on them with the corresponding color dye. It's more for organization than looks but it could be useful for that too.

[@dejojotheawsome]

That is super useful!

[@Deaudietheawsome]

THAT'S SO COOL

[@MikeIsBread]

Best color is yellow BY FAR, its like "oh no yellow line danger dont cross :O" factory style

[@Achkahkl]

FINALY SOMETHING USEFULL TO KNOW atleast my time isnt totaly wasted by the video

[@Dulgus]

Would be cool if they would myb also give out a spec. Redstone strength for each colour

[@Yuyu-1115]

Never know that mill stone has a shaft at its bottom side, big cogwheels can transfer vertically, and mechanical belt can be encased vertically! What an informative video!

[@dejojotheawsome]

I'm super glad I could help!

[@jedi_jedi]

Encasing Cogs can hide shafts that would otherwise connect, and help compact a build. Or you can right click them with the wrench and expose the shaft again.

[@dejojotheawsome]

Oh yeah! That’s amazing for doing gear ratios

[@gamma3501]

shame that we couldn't use these powers on Create A&B

[@gooseloose682]

gear ratios are so nice with this!

[@rami-succar7356]

i use it to make very tight gear ratios indeed

[@MyNameIsRati]

I honestly REALLY love the little detail with gearbox. Crafted with 4 small cogs it works totally accurate! If you'll imagine how gears inside rotate it will totally make sense. Love it.

[@goldenreflection2811]

The belt+crushing wheel section has truly opened my eyes as to how I can make use of them in a production line. No need to worry about sending items upwards just to drop them into the crushing wheels!

[@ehotblch9602]

Great video! Also worth mentioning that chain drives lag less than belts for big-scale buildings

[@The_CavemanOfficial]

Chaindrives have no stress requirement compared to belts as well.

[@TallinuTV]

@@The_CavemanOfficial Belts don't use stress units, at least on all the current versions of Create I've played on.

[@asdf-23512]

@@TallinuTV in the config i think you can enable belts using stress, so some modpacks may make them use stress

[@MrSirSquishy]

One tip I've discovered myself is that if you're either lacking space or looking to completely compact something, you may run into an issue where you won't have room to move an item on a belt since the minimum space for a belt is 1x2, so to save on that precious space you can use something like a drain taking up a 1x1 space which automatically rolls items over it. Do note to be careful when working with items that can actually be drained though.

[@doverboy1]

Thats where weighted ejectors should be used for, they work for both non-drainable and drainable items!

[@gamma3501]

Gearbox is so powerful and capable of any kind of connections, but also belt extension and twisted chaindrives are useful as well

[@dejojotheawsome]

Tons of ways to move power around :D

[@richardkirkland6805]

The chain drive does actually connect vertically, you just have to orient them correctly. The way you oriented them wouldn't connect except for the shafts.

[@christine4213]

I honestly haven't seen anyone else make this kind of helpful video for create. Love it!

[@yarikzhiga]

- Hey, Large Cogwheel, would you like these 16 RPM? - *Double and give it to the next person*

[@dejojotheawsome]

Hey small cogwheel would you like these 32 rpm? half it and give it to the next person ??

[@zackjones5541]

I personally don't recommend showing your shafts because I did it once and now I'm not allowed within a 50ft radius of a school area

[@FUCK_YOUTUBE6969]

Lmao I'm so weak

[@luiso1149]

true

[@Red_impostorYT]

BRO???

[@DavidHine-x7w]

😮😮😮😮 huhhhhhhhhhh????

[@Dzordzu]

Broo 💀

[@TehNoobiness]

Note that encasing a cog also blocks its unused shaft outputs, and you can then un-block it by right-clicking with a wrench. This lets you build longer gear-up/gear-down systems in a much smaller space.

[@notBeWitchy]

super helpful! i didn't notice this, thanks

[@gagemonster555]

It's helpful to think of all of it as "ratios". Every block in relation to any specific one of it's neighbors will be a ratio of that neighbor. This will always hold true (ofc the ratio can change like an ACG). The "power source" (i.e. what's 'receiving/sending') doesn't matter, a small cog will always be 2:1 rpm ratio with the large cog it's touching. Every other relationship acts that way as well, order doesn't matter a the sense of "power flow". That millstone belt setup is nuts. The crushing wheels one is amazing as well.

[@dejojotheawsome]

Great mindset! And I'm really glad you like my little proof of concept designs

[@gooseloose682]

the crushing wheel setup is amazing. I always had them vertical and dropped items in which was messing with some magnet-trinkets you get in certain modpacks. Amazing stuff!

[@LividE101]

Adding on to the crushing wheel tip, you can use 3 wheels in that way for 2 different crushing wheel recipes (or 4 for 3, etc). The crushing wheel crafting segment forms between crushing wheels, but doesn't care if the wheel in question is already forming one, so you can save on space and SU by letting one wheel create two segments. Useful for cobble->sand, for example. Example (arrows are belt directions, c is the wheel, . is empty. Wheels are raised and placed above vertical gearboxes as shown in the video): . v . ^ . c v c ^ c . > > ^ . You'll need to provide rotation to the bottom belt, but there're a few ways to do so depending on space constraints.

[@YataTheFifteenth]

you can use a vault and brass funnels instead of the belt at the bottom

[@DisorderlySpud]

that crushing wheel tip is so good i cant believe i didnt see it sooner

[@sigmundnoid1722]

Loved the vid, I also really like that powering adjustable chain gearshifts with different redstone signal strengths allows for more control of rpm. Also, mechanical pumps can be especially useful in certain contraptions with weighted ejectors because they uniquely act as a cog and allow flung items to travel through them in some orientations.

[@CrazzyJ-iw5rc]

that crusher trick has saved me ages of heartache in the future, how couldnt i have seen that before haha

[@Flame4827]

I just started with create mod and this video helped me a ton. More videos like this please!

[@helenalykstoft5330]

Just started watching your Create Arcane Engineering series a few days ago, and i was looking for a tutorial for some of the create machines and i didnt even realize this was your video as well! :D Thank you for the video, helps a lot when i havent tried the create mod at all before!

[@DemikusYT]

That shaft under the millstone… I’m shocked, that would have helped me so much in the past, ALONG WITH HORIZONTAL GRINDING I feel so stupid now XD

[@nathanpaulyoung]

I don't usually comment on KZbin videos, but that was actually a really nice video! I'm not even new to Create, and I still learned a few things! I would definitely like to see more guides like this. Great job, dude!

[@Lubey117]

The 'right facing' had me for a loop until I realised you were talking in terms of clockwise and counter-clockwise. Love the tutorial though!

[@dejojotheawsome]

Oh hahaha yeah I should have used those terms lol

[@maincraftcool]

The crushing wheel tip helped rlly much in my ochrum farm thanks :)

[@cortofredudu]

Really nice video. Good information for starting players. The only thing you forgot to mention is that big cogwheel covered with casing prevent transmission of rotational power on the center block in one side. Useful for compact gearshift builds

[@Kraus-]

Thanks for the tips. I always forget about the encased chain drives.

[@-ElysianEcho-]

Thanks man, i’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out the point of chain drives vs belts, i thought they did the same more or less, also, got some tips from you that will make my facotires look much cooler, didn’t realise you could encase belts for example

[@kaidenmaynez3148]

Thank you so much. This was very helpful for my windmill interior

[@TheHyperplayer]

Adjustable Chaindrives also scale their effect with the strength of the redstone signal. (thats how i made sortof CVT to always run my machines at max possible speed even when power drops)

[@IzBirch]

This is gonna be valuable for making my machines more efficient in my super flat world

[@Vercte]

3:50 I genuinely exclaimed “you can??” to this fact. this is gonna be so useful

[@alexdacat7052]

you can also encase vertical shafts inside girders, if i remember correctly

[@IrregularGamma]

Thank you so much for these tutorial videos, I have been getting a lot out of them. ❤

[@dejojotheawsome]

I am super glad to hear that

[@Depresedblobfish]

never knew about the vertical belt encasing thats so cool!

[@vernisanitara]

You can actually power the rotation speed controller into the cogwheel, so the configured speed outputs at the lower half of the machine

[@garethmarshall6574]

Much better understanding with how this all functions, thank you.

[@creechieuihana]

As far as I can tell, the belts can go under blocks. So if you want to have somebody input something in or have something output, you can have them poke out of the wall while the machine works behind the scenes.

[@fordalels]

THE MILLSTONE HAS A SHAFT AT THE BOTTOM????????? That is SO USEFUL I am SO GLAD I learned that!!!

[@dejojotheawsome]

Yep! Super cool right

[@jellemiddendorf2572]

i would love more create stuff.

[@dejojotheawsome]

Then it shall come!

[@bunshine]

nice video!! though id like to point out that "left/right rotation" is an ambiguous naming scheme since any given rotation can be interpreted as right or left depending on how you think about it. not a huge issue but i thought i should point it out

[@octagone.]

havent watched it yet but i already know it will be useful

[@dejojotheawsome]

Hahah glad to hear

[@Totally_Bonkers]

this helped for a lot more than just compacting

[@zeux5583]

I am an avid factorio ~addict~ player and the look of those create machines really speak to my spaghetti-factory loving heart... also, i wonder wether sushi-style factories are doable

[@hydrocn]

the mill having a shaft blew my mind

[@bazkamaz]

Great tut👍 Now we need advanced tips

[@crazykid67034]

not me loading up my game right now to try some of these compact machines out. id love to see more small machines though

[@percycreeper2733]

"And of course, remember, a lot of things can be hidden in the walls." ~ Dejojo

[@atahancam6144]

I love the video! I am new to create and i learned a lot of new stuff, we want more of these videos, keep going!

[@M0rchaint]

Cog to Cog is a Ratio never a Shift. Standard naming is Input Speed to Output Speed. Therefore Small Cog to Large Cog is a 2:1 gear ratio. If you want to talk torque then you would specify it as torque such as a 1:2 torque ratio. The Gear Shift device is a 2-speed gear shift. Both Forward and Reverse are considered "Speeds". A 5-speed transmission is typically R1234.

[@dailybean7231]

fantastic tutorial man, very informative in a way that this simpleton could follow 👍👍

[@dejojotheawsome]

I am super happy to hear that! Glad you enjoyed

[@longlong10203]

the rotation speed controller works on both sides for input and output in another side, not just input from the bottom and output on top.

[@MarcoKoobs]

To explain the gearboxes, u best can show them how the inside works with the large cogwheels 😉

[@TallinuTV]

Exactly. Because of that, adjacent sides turn in opposite directions, and if you go around the outside of a gearbox, if the first side is turning clockwise, the next will be counter-clockwise, then CW, and finally CCW again. "But wait, opposite sides aren't turning in the same direction!" They aren't if you haven't turned around and are looking at the shaft coming out of the far side from the near side's perspective. Picturing the gears inside the gearbox is therefore a very helpful way of figuring out whether a gearbox will do what you want in any given situation!

[@kylernyhagen7519]

It'd be nice to see a video covering this that doesn't use creative motors, as those drastically reduce the footprint of designs.

[@mrpinksheep970]

i love this ideas, i got a survival and all the stuff where literally surrounded by shafts and cogwheels, it was just a hall whit all the stuff press mixers and that, 3 chest doubled and surrounded whitout being able to see sky cause full of cogwheels

[@ShamikKothare]

can you make a video where you explain waht to do when starting a survival world with create?

[@merren2306]

5:20 an easy way to imagine this is that the gearbox is a more compact version of just putting 4 large cogwheels in a circle

[@twistit4844]

7:23 You said they cant take a vertical force into a horizontal, but they can. if youd power the contraption you build just from the other side (from above) it would do that. ofc that means you have to go one "off" to the side.

[@demonnauki]

You can just right-click with a wrench (while not sneaking!) to break brackets off of shafts and fluid pipes

[@pollyisnochicke20]

Great video! Keep doing this! This teaches me a lot!

[@dejojotheawsome]

Thank you! really glad you enjoyed

[@dominikseljan3043]

Really nice video with lots of cool info!

[@thebloxxer22]

The Clutch is missing, that would be considered a Mover by your terms - it permits isolation of movement.

[@kawaiipiggy9143]

Watching this, knowing damn well I'm gonna continue to build my machines as exposed as possible because I don't care about aesthetics and would rather have access to the system at all times

[@damianboigames]

i found out that with cog wheels, if you have an odd number of cogs connected you will get the same outgoing rotational direction as you had with the ingoing rotational direction, it is a 2 block wide or tall gearbox if you use them to reverse rotation if anyone has more questions than do ask

[@damianboigames]

also if you dont want to use a ton of caseings for your walls, just use shafts and cover them with the casengs

[@nati0598]

You can remove the bracket by right-click with wrench. Shift-right-click destroys the whole shaft.

[@dstaron3162]

Great work on this video!

[@lees4416]

Didn't know that millstone can be powered by cog. That's helpful

[@acetylsalicylicacid]

I just hide the ugly part in the floor and put glass to look at the nice parts.

[@ThatDuckE]

When I first started playing the create mod, years and years ago and ponders barely existed; I didnt even know you could connect a cogwheel to a millstone, I thought it was only the shaft at the bottom..

[@firestorm5371]

The chain drives are also more lag friendly than the belts.

[@aeroturner]

This didn't help... Because the video ended and I want MORE!!! Great series, create can be confusing and simple options are sometimes overlooked for more complex methods

[@jankauza8694]

Yan can also use brackets on both cog wheels.

[@dejojotheawsome]

Oh that’s really cool!

[@Rebuild3]

Chain drives can connect vertically if the 2 drives are horizontal, just say chain drives cant connect if the shaft end is facing another chain drive!

[@LiteSwipe126]

It helped a little bit

[@lachlanhudson8867]

do more! loved this

[@__arc5030]

Are you able to encase a belt with train casings like you can a brass one?

[@SpecialInterestShow]

So could you put multiple adjustables next to each other with Redstone connected, to speed things up a ton?

[@commandernullex6774]

Apparently, girders will make shafts look pretty too.

[@ProfWisecrack]

Thank you!

[@SpecialInterestShow]

What I've been having issues with is getting things to speed up without making a speedometer Well, that and finding rose quartz

[@GinjaLeviathan]

Using I like adding casing to large cogs for gear ratioing, a large cog with a casing won't output to the shaft

[@minecraftbeast2414]

It helps me a lot

[@dejojotheawsome]

I'm so glad!

[@xaracen7207]

i like breaking the immersion by having large gears clip into everything

[@icehoof]

I'm conflicted I came here for a minor reason (Couldn't get it to start, i don't think i had enough water pumping cause i was using a large water wheel and a small cog) And i want to watch all of your videos, but also want to stumble to learn this solo

[@TheFallenVoid]

i forgot chaindrives can do that (even tho im playing almost very day create), thx for letting me know cuz now i dont need to waste 6 cogs and is there a create addon to get copper and zinc without destroying the world for 1.20.1 because it would be nice to automate it idc if its very slow because its worth it.

[@Firelord6127]

With this chest of belts I can drastically reduce the tps of the server *evil laughter*

[@thenishtown]

Millstone has a shaft output\input underneath it.. discovered it yesterday by mistake

[@Rafaninja-nh5uc]

Ah, yes, create, the 2010 game.

[@dejojotheawsome]

yeah KZbin does that automatically lol

[@justincoombs9048]

How did I not think to try horizontal crushers!?!?!

[@thinkdunson]

i'm not sure why you say the chain drives don't connect vertically. they do connect vertically. by itself there's no reason not to just use a shaft... the reason you would use a chain drive to vertically connect to another is that you can then connect more chain drives to extend outward horizontally on a new Y level. combined with the fact that they can twist, you can make some very compact setups based on these principles.

[@stright8771]

your video so helpfull, thank you

[@TheBakerOfBreads]

Your accent sounds like im about to get a quest to retrieve the dragonstone from Bleak Falls Barrow

[@dejojotheawsome]

[@calvinprice8460]

create encased has brass gearboxes and create dreams and desires has an always-active gearshift

[@Pain_train_wielder]

I prefer to not do ANY of these and build as big of a machine as I can that produces steel infinitely. Cobblestone generator to a crusher wheel to grind it into gravel which then gets washed and turned to iron nuggets and pressed into bars next to a tree farm and blaster fan that produces charcoal which then gets combined with the iron to make steel. Complex but easy to boil down

[@FireShadowz99]

I feel the more I learn about Create, the less I actually know

[@spooky632]

how did you do the windmill sails underground like that?

[@fenn_fren]

14:46 Yeah, like me. Knock knock. :)

[@phadestonkaneki9861]

The create mods for be is missing textures. Will it be setting updates?

[@Dulgus]

Is it possible to make a mailing or delivery system with belts and funnels? Like if I either were to name an item after the designated area or playername I want it to go via anvil rename. For example I name 1designated shulkerbox of 1 colour after a player and give one funnel route theese to transport it there.
