You do not need a gearbox between verticle axels, only where connecting to regular axles Naturally thesetake up wall space so cannot occupy a walled or blocked space. Verticle axles work in a similar manner, but need to be connected to a gearbox and go up/down instead of left/right. They can be connected to a gear box to create corners: They require a small amount of power themselves, so the more you use the more power you will need. lever - supplies or cuts off power when flipped.Īxles are placed on the floor level, and can be placed under walls and other objects on that level.pressure plate - supplies power to anything connected to it when stepped on, can be toggled to STOP power supply when stepped on.

mechanical wall - raises when power is supplied to it, blocking paths or crushing enemies (with a roof over it).

verticle axle - go up or down the Z axis (up/down a floor).

built on floor leve, requires removal of floor.

gear box - conects axles perpendicularly (if that's a word) or connects axles on the x/y axis to those on the Z axis.

axle - moves power from sourse to mechanism.

requires empty sapce above it (no floor or walls all the way to the sky) produces 20 power

handcrank - Powered by gnome turning it.

Each part (three walls, hatches and walls, and single wall) can be activated/deactivated via levers safely from the inside of my kingdom. The wall/hatch setup is repeated a couple times to catch anyone that gets through the first/second, which happens occasionally. At the first pressure plate they will both raise the mech wall and close the hatch, but once they step off the plate and onto the hatch it opens sending them on a ten story trip to the bottom. If it's enemies then you keep the single wall up and they will go down the path I've made. Gnomads and merchants will take the shortest route into your kingdom so the single wall is a very quick way in.

If its a gnomad or merchant I can lower the single wall to the right before lowering the three. Then they step on a pressure plate raising the three mech walls. Basically enemies spawn and climb stairs to get to the top floor. Here is a pitfall trap I made a while ago.
