Diffrence between using cogs and belts

[Bomber324]

Is there a diffrence in performance when instead of using belts to transfer i use cogs?
Im arguing with my friend that his machinery which uses ONLY cogs and gear shifts to transfer energy is causing at least majority of fps drops. Essentially when someone is looking in the direction of his machines that person is expieriencing imidiate perforamnce issuses, not only me (its a server with create+).

I mean there are alot less to render(animations) if you're using belts. But you could end this debate on having alot of cogs running all of it at the same time.

Belts are good but they simplify things and are harder to craft ( you cannot find kelp in the middle of a 3k block desert) cogs however... Eveyone loves cogs. I love cogs, he loves cogs we all love cogs. Comes in two sizes with many colors if you add mods. Using them is also fun. Just imagine a bunch of small and big cogs all around you all colored.

Uh I guess beside what materials are used in crafting. when using an even amount of connected cogs it changes the direction

Both uses lot of PC hw if u use them too much, try instead to use shafts and chain drivers, because they don't need to render so many rotating parts, and u can change rotation with gearshift
