About Age of Steam
From ModrinthAxles, Gearboxes, Crankshafts!

Age of Steam is a mod about tech and automation in a slightly different approach....
There are no wires, no FE/RF. Everything is done with mechanical energy transmission.
This mod is the core mod of the project. It contains the simple realtime physics engine for calculating acceleration on the network and a physics engine for calculating mechanical stress on individual parts of the network. (yes, they break if overstressed)
This mod itself brings with it the basic parts of mechanical transmission:
- a motor / generator (FE to Mechanical power converter)
- hand generator
- axles (currently only wooden)
- linear gearbox with 4:9 gear transmission
- T-junction gearbox with 1:1 gear transmission
- distribution gearbox (a 4 sided gearbox with 1:1 transmission)
- clutch
- hand generator
- crankshafts (small & large - where large is still too small for some people...)
