How it works is that it can wound up to store a certain amount of rotations (say, 100) via receiving rotational input, and afterwards, once it receives a redstone signal, it will unwind, with a moderate amount of stress units, matching the maximum speed that the contraption can be run at before the spring battery overstresses. If two spring batteries are directly connected to each other, they will evenly split the amount of rotations stored in each one (Ex: If one of them has 10 rotations and the other has 0, after you put connect them they will both even out to 5)

Hm, for what we can use a spring battery?

That's called a torsion spring

Wait a minute
You’ve just described the clockwork spring

Clockwork seems more and more like an aero knockoff 😭
In a good way tho
limpid marlin
nah not the torsion spring
That works completely differently
The torsion spring limits rotation
wary bear
Oh
limpid marlin
The spring in clockwork acts like a typical spring
Stores rotation, and would have a resistance value
When full resistance, it’d release energy slower and be harder to charge, and be stiffer, but it’d last longer
When no resistance, it’d release energy immediately and be very much like a shock absorber
It’s a dual purpose block
Storage or suspension

But it won’t come until 0.2’s Terrain n’ Tumble
Since it’s obviously car related lol

Will we get wheels?
And more compact car oriented parts like 1 block linked steering?
limpid marlin
That’s definitely an 0.2 thing
Simple wheels we might have in 0.1 tho
For plane landing gear

Yay
