Axles are used to transmit power from a windmill or water wheel to a pump or mill. There are two types; vertical axles move power between z-levels, and horizontal axles move it around within a given level, and can be resized using the umjk keys. Axles consume 1 unit of power per square. They can be resized to a maximum of 10 tiles long.
Construction:
Axles can be constructed from the Machine Components screen. TODO: Add key shortcut
- Changing direction requires a joint in the axle, which must employ a gear assembly.
- Axles also consume power to the tune of 1 point per square, which encourages building your power sources close to the things they power.
Axles require:
- 1 unit of wood for up to 3 squares of legnth/height
- 2 for 4-7 squares
- 3 units of wood for 8-10 (10 being the size limit).
