PLS!

If u are talking about this being an actual physical colliding gear I don't think this is possible to add with how the collision system works currently

why?

Type in the console when u press ~ draw debugcolliders 1 and u will see what I mean

#

If u place some wheels and try to make a cog

technically the physics engine has a gear joint, it's been mentioned a couple of times
https://nvidia-omniverse.github.io/PhysX/physx/5.4.2/docs/Joints.html#gear-joint
so technically the devs could add gears with that
but idk how well it works, I don't have a lot of faith in physX as an engine

also here's the devlog talking about physics stuff (long, has many images) https://brickadia.com/blog/devlog-4/

Devlog #4 - Fast Collisions for Large Editable Vehicles

What if you could store cargo in your space ship and fly the space ship inside a rotating space station, which you built using hundreds of thousands of bricks?

marsh wasp _technically_ the physics engine has a gear joint, it's been mentioned a couple ...

Yeah I assume we would get a gear joint over just getting pure physics gears. If we get kinematic joints first tho we could theoretically build physics gears ourselves but a gear joint would be far more reliable

Also I want that ball joint ugh
