Yeah hmm, I've definitely got the tuning rod in my first tool slot, it's lit up because I pressed 2, I've connected my totems, they've got the same number of timing bits as you have in your demo, but nothing happens when I hit right click :/
edit: Looks like you've removed the whole debugging/testing inventory from your recent version? Imo you should keep that in, it seems like the most fun part about your game and I don't think the crafting is quite refined enough yet to support that
