===Encasing ===

[[Mechanical Belt]]s, [[Shaft]]s, and [[Cogwheel]]s can be encased in most casings, creating a decoration around the encased block. Copper casings, however, can be used only on [[Fluid Pipe]]s. Likewise, a fluid pipe will not accept any other kind of casing.


Although mostly decorative, casings can also be used to control multiple connections. Applying a casing to a pipe will prevent it from connecting to any additional pipes placed after the casing was applied, save for directly in front of the pipe opening. Casings on [[Cogwheel]]s can prevent cogs from connecting to other cogs via the shaft. This allows cogs to be placed right next to each other without affecting each other. A [[Wrench]] applied to the face of the casing will toggle the shaft connection on and off.
