Ditto. I consider levers in and of themselves to be an abstraction, since a device that is literally a lever only takes a single gear to build. And issues with maitenance for adventure mode would make this a nightmare.

Here's a thought; hanging chains as a form of lever!

This would allow some interesting stuff like bell-towers. Maybe having chains you could climb would be worth exploring as well.

I don't much care for magic levers. They should have pretty short range and require more parts. Not just a "mechanism", whatever that denotes. At the very least it should require some sort of rod, it is a lever. I could then decorate the rod or add something informative, like waves in aquamarine for the farm floodgates

I like my magical levers! 

I would rather have a gear and an axle that would go in between the floor and the roof of the tile above.  So in game terms it would simply be a building requirement.

So are you saying that you need to build a gearbox and then link via axle, or what here? The forced link with gearbox has already been shot down, as floodgates would then leak.

Personally, I agree with the idea for rope/chain so far. A little bit of abstraction, but that's a-OK with me.

No, you didn't read my post, the gears and axles would simply be building requirements that has no other affect on gameplay.

I think rope/chain/cabel is a good plan, thats how some leavers actually link to the other end e.g. Bicycle Brakes.
