Notes



\* These are manual shaft connector buildings, not pipe-style auto-routing pieces.

\* Rotate or mirror the buildings in-game to match the direction you need.

\* T shafts include multiple directional variants for different input/output layouts.

\* The shaft network behavior is still based on Captain of Industry’s mechanical shaft system.
