Coordinating Casings Across Shafts, Cogwheels, and Pipes
Creating Unified Machinery Frameworks
Create Encased Mod expands your customization options by allowing casings to be applied to shafts, cogwheels, and pipes alike. To build a coordinated manufacturing floor:
1. Map out your mechanical paths, placing shafts for straight power transfer, cogwheels for gearing, and pipes for fluid handling.
2. Choose a uniform casing type to serve as the standard exterior for a specific production unit.
3. Apply that casing across all shafts, cogwheels, and pipes within the assembly.
This creates an integrated machine chassis rather than a disconnected jumble of moving parts and conduits.
Differentiating Factory Zones
You can also leverage different casing options to organize and separate your industrial layouts:
- Apply one casing variety to mechanical power lines (shafts and cogwheels) and another distinct casing to fluid lines (pipes) for immediate visual identification.
- Designate specific casing styles for high-priority production sections to distinguish them from standard utility lines.
- Transition casing styles as power and fluid lines pass through different functional rooms, ensuring each conduit matches the local architecture.
