Gears are the last of the early-game 
Materials.
Production chain

turn Logs into 
Planks
Gear Workshop turns Planks into Gears
Gear Workshops are quite slow, taking 
three hours to turn a Plank into a Gear. This is overcome by building multiple Gear Workshops.
Usage
Gears are used in the construction of advanced 
Buildings and Materials.
In constructions: see Category:Gear constructions.
In recipes: see the infobox to the right.
Strategies
The 
Lumber Mill produces a Plank every 1.3 hours. This means one Lumber Mill can supply 2.4 Gear Workshops.
The 
Industrial Lumber Mill is faster, producing a Plank every 0.63 hours. This means one Industrial Lumber Mill can supply 4.7 Gear Workshops.
Trivia
In the simplest of terms, gears change the speed, force or direction of rotational motion. There are many different types of gears. Timberborn depicts only the external gear for the icons, but you can see helical gears at work in power shaft junctions.
Greeks in Alexandria invented gears during the third century B.C. The great Archimedes further developed them. They then had widespread use in the Roman world and beyond. The first metal gears were used in clock-making many centuries later.
History
- Update 2: Production time for Gears halved, from 6 hrs to 3 hrs.
- Early Access Launch: Introduced.
