Create: Bits 'n' Bobs guide for FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.0.3 to 1.5.1

Same as in the FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.10.0 guide

Create: Bits 'n' Bobs is a set of small, polished additions built to integrate closely with Create. This pack includes version 2.3.2 of the mod. It mixes decorative blocks, a few new kinetic machines and some behaviour tweaks for things you already use in Create.^[1][2]

What it adds

• Behaviour tweaks: you can swap the wood type of wooden cogwheels, including ones from addons. Fluid pipes and tanks can be dyed, and pipes of different colours ignore each other.^[1]
• Cogwheel Chain Drives: a kinetic transfer option that works with all Create cogwheels and many addons. Flanged cogwheels let you build chain drives with other materials such as belts or ropes, and the Cogwheel Chain Carriage attaches contraptions to a chain drive.^[1]
• Other kinetic blocks: the Flywheel bearing smoothly rotates a contraption based on its mass, and it has a config option that makes it act as a kinetic battery. The Chain Pulley is a rope pulley variant that uses a chain.^[1]
• Decorative blocks: cable, girder and weathered girder struts, dyeable chairs, larger Nixie tubes and boards with an ornate font, tile block palettes for stone types, industrial truss, grating panels and grating blocks, headlamps and lightbulbs, and weathered metal girders and brackets.^[1]
• Encasings: piston poles can be encased, and Industrial Iron and Weathered Iron can be used to encase blocks.^[1]

Config and compatibility

Every feature can be disabled in the mod's config, and the config can also change the balance of certain values. I can't confirm which of those settings this pack changed, so check the config in game before you rely on any default.^[1]

The mod also hides duplicate content from other addons, such as the wooden cogwheels from Create: Encased, in creative tabs, interaction and crafting. This behaviour is configurable.^[1]
