Facethief Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Maybe this is just pre1 bugginess, but I couldn’t find out how to run an axle through a wall during my testing. Does anyone know how? Is this feature even available in pre1? 1
MKMoose Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 49 minutes ago, Facethief said: how to run an axle through a wall Something like Shift-RMB an axle while holding a wrench in the off-hand and desired block in the main hand. If it differs due to remapping or something, the tooltip should inform you how to do it. 5
Gordon Wrigley Posted May 11 Report Posted May 11 I can't put the wrench in my off hand. I wonder if a mod has messed something up.
Turquoise Volute Posted June 1 Report Posted June 1 I can't get axle covers to work with any material, and I can put a wrench in my off hand just fine. I tried with and without mods enabled, and with and without default bindings (I'm left handed so I always wind up rebinding everything). I also tried holding the wrench in my main hand just in case that was what it wanted (the tooltip doesn't specify), but no dice. Any idea what's up? 1
soxontour Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 it seems to be a little tricky. just try from different sides and/or the axle not connected to others..

I made my first ever wrench just for this, haha.
Fawkesian Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 Is there no way to apply the covering to angled gears? My windmill setup has been a mess for ages and I'd hoped to basically run the entire power train through the walls of my workshop, but now it seems that's not possible if I can't add turns... hmm.
TheRealMork Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 So, if anyone has the same problem as me, here is what I found: Apparently the mod "Some Disassembly Required" is preventing from equipping wrenches in off-hand. The modder is already aware of this and they'll drop a fix for it in "a week or two" (said by the modder on the 4th of June).

Not that I've found, unfortunately. It's definitely a bother, although you might be able to mitigate most of the problems by hiding angled gears in room corners and sealing off the occasional hole by covering the protruding axle. 2
