I connected four Motors following these rules and it seems to work well. If I understand correctly, all Axles between the Motors and the central Gearbox should be the same length. When I broke this rule by making the Axles connecting the pairs of Motors to the central Gearbox too long, the system could still reach full power after startup, but after reloading the map, one pair of Motors would lock up.

Is it possible to add the ability to manually assign where Gearbox will send power? Or add an alternate mode for Gearbox where it will wait until it receives power from all connected Axles except for one and then sends power to that Axle? That is, if three Axles are connected to the Gearbox, it waits until it receives power from any two.

This gif doesn’t look like what I see when I switch the Transformer Gearbox into reverse mode with Monkey Wrench and connect Axles to it. In game, it looks like the carrier and planetary gears are spinning in one direction, while the Axles are spinning in the other. Although this gif looks like a Transformer Gearbox and Axles animation in normal mode.
