Winch

Stuck in a hole? Winches can be used on vehicles to pull them to a target destination, they can even be used to scale slopes the vehicle cannot otherwise manage.

You can view a tutorial here (YouTube) or read the following tutorial.

Caution: It's easy to accidentally flip the vehicle on its back when using the winch and just replace one problem with another. A fix for this is to place another winch on the underside edge and effectively pull it around upright.

How to Construct and Use
You will need:
 * Winch shackle
 * Winch
 * Battery rack (with battery cells) or other power source
 * Vehicle
 * 2 armour blocks

The winch is the active part so can be either attached at the destination or vehicle depending on need. I am doing the latter
 * 1) Place the winch part on the front (or rear) of the vehicle and connect to a power source, either battery rack (already installed on the vehicle) or generator


 * 1) Place a column of 2 armour blocks on the ground


 * 1) Add the winch shackle onto the front of the top block, facing the vehicle


 * 1) Hover your mouse over the winch and it will display Attach with a command key (probably E), press that


 * 1) Click on the shackle


 * 1) On the winch, activate Switch On as displayed

The vehicle will be pulled to the destination. If rescuing from a hole, allow some space for the length of the vehicle to be clear.

The winch-shackle system was designed for vehicles but can be used for other things if you want to be creative. --Egrphj (talk) 09:39, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
