I've struggled a lot with the making of gearboxes. I did find a guidefrom T3 (http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale3/Users/EldradUlthran/Gearbox_Guide) and some explanations here: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale6/Gearbox_Design_Guide and http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale6/Gearbox.
Still I kept having problems and mostly tried them on a trial/error basis, which most of the times got me frustated :) so eventually, when I did manage to make them, I tried to write this guide.
Step 1 - What do you need
- Gearbox Assembly Table
- Gearbox design tech
- a stash of Small Gears, Medium Gears, Large Gears
- wikipage for the gear ratio's: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale6/Gearbox_Ratios or you can use: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale6/Tamutnefret_Gearbox_Ratios
- patience :)
Step 2 - Different gearpairs
- spacer, used to start a new layer (no cost)
- one step (photo) 3/3 only allows to move in a +-shape (cost=small gears)
- diagonal (photo) 4/4 cheap
- 3/5, 5/3, 5/3, 3/5 makes a large change in ratio)(cost= medium gears)
- two steps up or sideways (photo) 5/6, 6/5, 4/7, 7/4 (makes smaller changes in ratio)(cost when using 7gear: large gears)
- knight's move (photo) 6/6, 5/7, 7/5
- 4/4 is much cheaper then 6/6 , although with 6/6 you move over large distances)
- 3/3, 4/4, 6/6 makes no change in ratio (photo)
- 3/5, 5/6, 4/7 makes the ratio go up (photo)
- 5/3, 6/5, 7/4, 7/5 makes the ratio go down (photo)
Step 3 - Useful to know
- you always start at 1A, ratio 100
- 8 rows, 8 columns
- you always need to end at row 8
- only 30 shafts can be used - including spacers????
- no more then 3 layers are possible
- always put the smallest gear on the bottom, ex: spacer, 3-gear, 5-gear on top of each other, not spacer, 5-gear, 3-gear
- only 3/3, 4/4, 3/5, 5/3, 5/6, 6/5, 6/6, 4/7, 7/4, 5/7, 7/5 pairs can be used
Step 4 - Example of a 1-output gearbox
- used for cartouche and the 1st box used in Stone Quarry
- let's make gearbox: D160-175
1) check the ratiopage: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale6/Gearbox_Ratios or you can use: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale6/Tamutnefret_Gearbox_Ratios 2)here we see the possible ratios: photo (black square) 3)we need the ones with the lowest cost 4)photo (red marked one is the lowest cost possible 5) photo's from the board using the cheap 4/4 gears 6) photo's from the board using the expensive 6/6 gears
Step5 - Example of a 2-output gearbox
- used for Springbox, and the 2nd gearbox in Stone Quarry
- let's make gearbox: B100-125 D320-382
1) check the ratiopage: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale6/Gearbox_Ratios or you can use: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale6/Tamutnefret_Gearbox_Ratios 2)here we see the possible ratios: photo (black square) 3)we need the ones with the lowest cost 4)photo (red marked one is the lowest cost possible
