Jesus these are painful to use. Just let the angled gear form a T joint and 99% of all the engineering headaches I've ever had in this game would be gone. I hate to be so negative about it but the piece already exists in the game, you can see how it fits into this mechanism, you just aren't able to do it. It's painful, too, because when trying to stack multiple windmills you end up with all this extra high resistance junk to do something that should be trivial. I find myself designing what I want, building most of it and then just using creative mode to make all the extra stuff that shouldn't be needed because I don't want to spend forever gathering fat and sap for stuff that shouldn't even need to be there.
