Hello, I stumbled upon a very critical issue. I played this mod for almost 4 months now and was happy to see it got updated to 1.16. So I went ahead, downloaded the new version and I really welcome some of the changes. However when I tried to speed up my machines (running with waterwheel) by placing the cogwheels as always, they didn't change speed at all.

They don't change speed when placing the small cogwheel first and the other way round. I know how to place them from previous versions, but this is an odd issue or bug that just ruined my experience with the new version.

I also tried playing with only the latest version of Forge(1.16.5-36.0.14), with no other mod than Create(1.16.3_v0.3e.jar). Nothing changed, the speed always stays the same.

I hope someone can give me advice on what to do and how to fix it!

Thank you very much, it works now.. maybe I was just too stupid :D

Can you provide a screenshot?

Sure I'll just hop in my world, but I don't know if it will be visible on a screenshot.

Ah so here's what's happening, from bottom to top

Small to large cog -> Slows down speed by half
Large to small -> Speeds up by half (Going back to original speed)
Small to large cog -> Slows down speed by half
Large to small -> Speeds up by half (Going back to original speed)
Small to large cog -> Slows down speed by half
Large to small -> Speeds up by half (Going back to original speed)

So at the end, the speed does not change, this is intentional.
To speed up, try something liks this
