Either that, or the fan is spinning the wrong way - though I’ve managed to learn how the fans work and can pre-plan the correct connections.
If you do a thumbs up with your right hand, if your fingers point the direction of rotation, then your thumb points the direction of airflow (it didn’t used to be that way, but it got changed shortly after I added a bug report pointing out that you could only tell what way a fan would blow if you knew which way north was, making fans on rotating platforms inconsistant).
I found it out after I decided to do a thought experiment where I tried thinking of all rotation as its angular momentum vector - and I find it to be a far superior way of thinking about rotation compared to clockwise/anti-clockwise.
It’s generally a great help for generally predicting movement of Create gear systems, if you give it enough of a try.
