Encasing Shafts for Compact Industrial Power Lines

Enclosing Shaft Lines

When running rotational power through your base, exposed shafts can look out of place against finished factory walls and machinery. With Create Encased Mod, you can apply casings directly to shafts to convert them into encased shafts:

1. Place down your shaft along the desired rotation path.

2. Hold your preferred casing item in your main hand.

3. Apply the casing directly to the placed shaft to encase it.

The shaft maintains its rotational transfer while gaining a clean, boxed-in exterior.

Integrating Shafts into Factory Architecture

Encased shafts provide significantly more flexibility when running mechanical power through occupied rooms or narrow corridors:

• Choose casing styles that match your nearby machinery or structural walls so drive shafts look like deliberate structural beams.
• Run encased shafts directly through walls or across flooring without leaving open mechanical gaps.
• Use different casing variants across separate transmission lines to clearly distinguish separate speed tiers or machine sections in complex factories.
