You will find a list of frequently misunderstood features.

Wolf

  • My sweat little dog just turned on me after I feed him. I had to kill him. Wolfs do not like being feed wolf chop.. no cannibalism.
  • It crapped in my house. What do you expect from formerly wild wolfs? You may use the dung to tan leather though.
  • My little sweat dog just made awful 'exploding' sounds! When wolfs produce dung they "explode" this way the Mod is not dependent on AudioMod.

Gear Box

  • Does not receive mechanical Power. A gear box does have a special Input side (The one with the Arrows pointing inwards). You must face it towards the energy source.
  • Accepts input only from one side. A gear box just works that way in real life too.
  • Will not start when powered by redstone. Redstone power will disengage the gears effectively stopping the energy transmission. You need to power it with mechanical power.
  • Gear boxes placed next to each other will not transmit mechanical power. That's intentional.

Mill Stone

  • Does not receive mechanical Power. The Mill stone will receive mechanical power from the top or the bottom only. It would work that way in reality too.
  • Spills out it's products all over the place It would work that way in reality too. You may want to build a water flow washing all the products into a hopper.

Cauldron

  • All my food was changed to Foul Food when I put Dung into it. Yes.. would you want to eat something that has been cooked with Dung in the same cauldron?
  • Will not start cooking when powered by redstone. You have to put a heat source under it.

Axle

  • Breaks if one puts more than three in a row. The Axle is too long. Put a Gear Box in between.

Water Wheel

  • Can not be placed. It is larger than a normal Block. (5x5x1 Blocks) The Space must be free of anything. (no Torches!)
  • Will not turn. It needs flowing water at the bottom to turn.

Wind Mill

  • Can not be placed. It is larger than a normal Block. (13x13x1 Blocks) The Space must be free of anything. (no Torches!)
  • Will not turn. It needs the sky above it.
  • Breaks frequently. It needs to be protected from Weather (Rain, Storms, Snow) so place a Detector Block so it is facing upwards and sees the sky. Connect it's Output to the Gear Box next to the windmill.

Platform Pulley

  • I have more than one rope/pulley pulling my platform, it gets (always/sometimes) ripped apart. This is either the result of an unequal number of gear boxes distributing the mechanical power to the pulleys after the controlling gear box or of the redstone glitch.

The First is your fault and the later is built into Vanilla MC (FlowerChild has said that he may take a look into the responsible code though.)

  • The Rope gets destroyed while moving upwarts! This is the result of a full block blocking the elevator shaft. Or you try to lift platforms outside of the anchors 5x5x5 box of liftable platforms. /The platform the anchor is attached to is the center of that box.
