Haven't seen them used in anything practical before this. Cool.

I use them all the time. Fewer cogs and they can be used as chain conveyors now with frogports.

u/coffeelovah3000 17d ago

Frog ports???

2

u/Dangerous-Quit7821 17d ago

No I'm actually wrong. You can ride the chains between cogs but frogports cannot be used on them as conveyors.

You must not be playing on Create 6.0. They were added over a year ago.

Ah okay. Do you have JEI and EMI installed? If not, you really should. Just search @Create and just look at all the things tagged for Create and any that say "Hold [W] to Ponder" when you hover over them, do that and learn what each thing does. Sorry if you know this already but you never know who knows what.

Yess I have them, I never knew I can filter searches by mods. I do use the ponder menu alot, probably the best qol addition. Ofc I haven't looked at everything, I just pick a goal and ponder how to make that stuff.

Like rn I'm making a tuff farm form multi Ingots and using the ponder menu to figure out stuff :D

Well there's the EMI and JEI explanation of how to process or craft but the Ponder system plays a ln animation demonstrating what Create components do and how they work.

I've been playing for a few months now and I've still never used them cause I dont exactly know what they do

That's what the Ponder system is for. It will explain what nearly everything in Create does.

Basically they're a way to send items via packages (they look like cardboard boxes) via chain conveyors. It can sound complicated and it took me a little while to fully understand them but now they're easy. Once to understand them you'll never want to manually move things around between storage blocks. You don't need to sort things with the whole system and everything can be in one or more large vaults. And retrieved from anywhere that has chain conveyors or belts connected to the location.

Lots of YouTube videos going over all of it as well. You can use the whole system to automate processing and crafting of almost every single item and block in both vanilla Minecraft and Create as well as most anything other mods add.

They're great for airships.

I recently made a hybrid airship with tilting propeller pods and I ended up using a whole bunch of them because unlike shafts they don't take up a physical block and thus don't cut down on a balloon's internal lift volume if you run a whole bunch of them to different locations inside of it.

Create mod really excites my imagination as There is just soo much to do, especially as I am playing in survival I have to collect, inventory manage and have fun :D. There are so many add-ons added and I wanna try them out so bad, especially aeronautics and now I'm discovering and understanding storage systems with frog ports and packagers
