At that point its much better to use a better engine if combining using gearboxes confuses you.
If using gearboxes confuses you, I really recommend taking a step back, because,
Gearboxes are one of the most important things to understand the usage of in Rotarycraft.

People have tried to say "I'll just try and not look at the numbers". They fail miserably.

Aye. EyeDeck nails it, it's hard to think of a scenario where you'd even want to; the joined output will only be as strong as it's weakest link.

You'd think a single number produced by two other numbers would be comprehensible -_-

I've honestly thought like, if I did a lp, I'd put up the silly triangle they use to teach finding voltage | amperage | resistance to get "HOW DEW POWR WERK" into peoples heads visually.

Tell that to the guy who asked me "how 2 [sic] tern [sic] fore [sic] in2 [sic] ate [sic]".
I'm sure the numbers he was working with were completely comprehensible but by the looks of it, his own mother couldn't comprehend what he was asking.

I gave up once I saw all those [sic] in there. One or two, sure, I'm game. Every second word is one? Oh hell no.

Meh ... why use gearboxes, when with CVTs you don't need to worry about power limits, also there is no need to constantly feed lubricant and they are fully customizable.

Because they don't take a crapton of leather or require diamond, and they're easily made quickly and cheaply for testing purposes with materials found anywhere? o_O

Then apologies, I misunderstood the direction of the 'quote'.

Cost/abundance of other materials, besides what will you do with all your excess gears? might as well be efficient and use it all.

Still diamond shafts on 18D... don't tell me that you're going to nerf it just because some stated that they prefer cvts...

I have been planning to nerf it for a long time, but was not sure how. It is getting nerfed because everyone uses CVTs to the point where, if they see someone using a gearbox, tell them "use a CVT, it is easier!".
