Wasn't there like a megathread for machine parts etc.?

[antymattar]

Yeah but it was not about connecting shit together.

[C27]

Connecting parts like ropes and chains should probably just be used as components, not appearing as actual buildings. It's be too much clutter.

[antymattar]

but if they dont actually appear, then whats the point? if you can get them to appear, then you can cut them down etc.

Hey, now there's a thought. Probably worth a thread of its own though.

Since a well has practically unlimited length of rope, the same might go for mechanical connectors, so each connection would require one unit of rope/chain/dwarven beard hair. That leaves only the problem of determining the route of the connectors. I'd say any constructed square is eligible, no diagonals. Valid connection points would be gear assemblies; levers, pressure plates, or other inputs; windmills, or other power sources; doors, floodgates, and other output devices. The heavy stuff would require power (lifting bridges, portcullisses, etc.). The easy stuff can suffice with levers (locking doors, dropping portculisses, triggering simple traps, etc.). Much of the discussion is already to be found in the improved mechanics thread though.
