Tiny Tunnels: Create

Build a power plant inside a block. This addon for Tiny Tunnels adds the Kinetic Tunnel, which carries Create rotation and stress through a machine's wall. Put water wheels and gearboxes in a room and drive a press outside, or feed rotation in and run a whole processing line inside.

Beta. Please report bugs on the issue tracker.

How it works

   ROOM (inside)                              WORLD (outside)
 water wheel ─ shaft ─▶ [Kinetic Tunnel] ══ [machine │ Kinetic Port] ─▶ shaft ─ press

1. Inside the room, place a Kinetic Tunnel on a wall. It links to one side of the machine, like any tunnel.
2. Outside, put a Kinetic Port against that side of the machine. Its shaft turns with the tunnel inside.
3. Right-click the Kinetic Tunnel with an empty hand to switch between In (rotation from outside into the room) and Out (rotation from the room to the outside).

• Real Create rotation and stress: speed and capacity go across the wall, and overstress works like in plain Create.
• Several kinetic tunnels per machine, one per side.
• Jade shows where each tunnel and port links and whether it's turning.

Recipes

• Kinetic Tunnel: a Tunnel + a Shaft + Andesite Casing (shapeless)
• Kinetic Port: a Shaft + Andesite Casing + a Copper Ingot (shapeless)

Good to know

• A rotation loop through tunnels can't be closed: the last block placed breaks, exactly like a loop in plain Create.
• If you turn the machine with the Tunnel Wrench, move the Kinetic Port to the tunnel's new side.
• Removing this addon is safe: ports disappear, and the rooms and their other tunnels stay.
