Gearboxes are complex items individually designed on a Gearbox Assembly Table.

Cost

A variable combination of:

• Small Gears
• Medium Gears
• Large Gears

Use

• Used as common components of automated buildings.
• To add blocks to an Empty Hand Puzzle

Outputs and Designation

Each individual gearbox is named according to its "outputs", of which it can have between 1 and 3. Outputs are identified by a letter (A through H), representing the output's location on the gearbox; and a number, representing the output's rotation speed. An example of a 2-output gearbox might be "Gearbox: B268 F133".

Buildings and techs requiring gearboxes will generally specify a range of acceptable output numbers that will fulfill the gearbox requirement. For example, a building may require "Gearbox: B200-B299", and any 1, 2, or 3-output gearbox with a B output of speed between 200 and 299 will suffice.
