How to use it

All engines need a mp;4redstone signalmp;r (lever, torch, dust) – each its own: engines and machines don't pass redstone on. They only output power at their mp;2piston sidemp;r. The trunk shows the heat: mp;1bluemp;r → mp;2greenmp;r → yellow → mp;4redmp;r → black (overheated).

If the buffer fills up because nothing takes the power, the engine heats up!

Redstone Engine: 0.05 MJ/t, never overheats. It powers mp;4onlymp;r wooden pipes, emerald/obsidian pipes, wooden fluid pipes and the Pump – it is too weak for machines.
