| − | Alright, just to clear something up real quick: what is the key difference between gears and axles? They both seem responsible for transferring power to mechanics but gears consume 5 power units whilst axles use only 1; wouldn't it follow that I only used axles to route all my power, then? I'm guessing not since gears need to be the part that actually connects to the end mechanism, but from what I've read, that's not true. Maybe you can't have two axles transferring power without gears inbetween them? | + | Alright, just to clear something up real quick: what is the key difference between gears and axles?
