Spinning Axles

Post by Itamarcu »

Hi!
I just wanted to know: will FlowerChild make the powered axles spin around, like "real" axles? That would be REALLY great to watch. In the same topic, there can also be spinning turntables that really SPIN blocks, and not just switch between four different orientations.
After all, the windmill and the watermill can move, so why can't the axles? will it lag the computer? that will be sad.

Is this feature planned? Thanks!

No he didn't say that he'll do it, because for the axles and turntables and so on to really spin, they need to be converted to entities like the wind mill or water wheel. Given the mass amounts of axles in some contructions this would be a severe performance drain.

What FC said was that he is probably going to give the axles animated textures like water has. So they won't actually spin, but it will seem like they do.
