Crafting and Placing Your First Transmission Chain

Crafting Options

The Transmission Chain allows you to relay rotational energy directly between belts. To produce Transmission Chains, you have two primary crafting methods:

• Craft them manually using a standard crafting workbench.
• Automate production by using a mechanical deployer.

Placing Chains on Belts

Once you have crafted a Transmission Chain, locate the mechanical belts you wish to power. Keep in mind that Transmission Chains are designed strictly to attach to belts and will not connect directly to other standalone machinery.

1. Approach an existing Create belt that already receives rotational power.

2. Place the Transmission Chain directly onto the belt surface.

3. Connect the chain to a nearby unpowered belt to bridge the rotational force across the gap.

If you want an in-game demonstration before building your line, select the Transmission Chain and open its Ponder screen. The preview displays an animated overview showing exactly how to relay rotational force between belt sections.
