changedChests and MachinesDid you know you can connect top gears on chests and machines? Generally, if you see a hole in something that is similar to the hole on bottom gears, there’s a good chance you can snap a top gear to it.

changedRPM Hint Steam post imageOn levels where speed matters, you can hold any gear up to another for a short time and you will be able to see the RPM (Rotations Per Minute) appear below the cursor. No need to tediously place it, drop your gear, then check the tooltip. This hint is not present in every level though, only the ones where you also see the RPM in the tooltip.
