What it does

Stop manually placing dozens of shafts and gearboxes. Hold your Create wrench, press K to activate Planner Mode, then:

Right-click any Create machine → sets it as Point A
Left-click another Create machine → computes the shortest path
Scroll wheel → cycle between up to 3 path variants (cheapest, fewest turns, vertical-first)
Sneak + Right-click → places the entire chain with a Create-style animation
Right-click (no sneak) → cancel preview

Features

A* pathfinding with proper turn cost — prefers paths with fewer gearboxes
Machine input detection via Create's IRotate API — works correctly with every kinetic block
- Mechanical Press, Mixer, Millstone, Drill, Saw, Encased Fan, Deployer, Bearing, RSC, Crushing Wheels, and more
- Automatic basin redirect (clicks on basin → targets machine above)
Ghost-block preview — shows actual shaft/gearbox/cogwheel models semi-transparently in the world
HUD overlay with variant info, block count, turn count, stress estimate, and required item counts (green/red)
Sequential placement animation with sparks + cogwheel particles
Cog-from-side routing for Mechanical Mixer & Millstone (auto-places small cogwheel adjacent + shaft above)
Vertical descent enforcement for Mechanical Press (always arrives top-down)
