Worm gears

Describe the Suggestion

Many times I have wanted to connect two small gears at an angle (or a small gear and a component with a built in gear, like a pump or a mixer), or connect a sideways gear to a perpendicular shaft. These would be perfect opportunities for a worm gear.

Screenshots and Videos

The vertical gear here would be a worm gear, connecting the shaft to both horizontal gears.

this should really be added, since cogwheels are really lacking right now
