and this now becomes the official tutorial for the microprocessor

@@Zizunn Just wanted to say thank you for all the good stuff you make, using a fair bit of it. (c:

Medium vanilla is good but a fuel burner. So always go modular if you can.

Thanks for the idea!b i got several differnt designs ahead.

You rps pipes go to it. Check a few of my boat and helicopter tutorials they might help.

@@ProfNCognito Thanks dude. Very helpful tutorials!

More radiators on separate circuits should work.

@ProfNCognito thanks so much, you've inspired me to get the game. I've been struggling to physically play the game with one arm, but I'm getting there😁

Oh no good luck.

Make sure your pump is before your manifold

Electric?

@@ProfNCognito Electric is hooked up properly, even have the generator, i can hear the starter trying to start the engine, but nothing happens edit: does the radiator have to be exposed to the outside? edit 2: i moved the radiator outside but still showing no life

How much throttle are you giving it?

@@ProfNCognito Full throttle

Yes, hook up to toggle starter.

Looks! That's all.

How big a boat? Try this one!

I'm making more engine tutorials. I hope they help.

Adding an extra crank block like Prof did, does nothing to the engine except open up some building possibilities pending on your build style. I too have done this on builds when placing components. Made life much easier. Also opens up a spot for the Modular engine temp sensor, without sacrificing a cylinder location, if you don't want to use the composite logic node for temperature readings. Anything that uses RPS input from an engine RPS output WILL affect how much power goes to places. I've been told it's an even split between all devices being powered. As far as modular belt driven clutch devices, they will be taken into account as a device that requires a driving force. What this split is, I'm not sure. How much the power is reduced, I'm not sure, but i believe it's marginal. Personally, I only use Starters on my modular engines as belt driven devices. Catalytic converters in the game reduce the amount of exhaust plumage coming out from the engine. If you have too many, it WILL choke out the engine as it does affect the flow rate. It WILL cause a "No start" if the cat is reversed on installation. This is a great game. Highly recommended if you like creating things and making them go. I'm a newer player myself and I've loved every minute of my 1000+ hours in this game. 😎

@@Lord_Bison Well, currently being disappointed with TrailMakers. I like the look of the vehicles in this game. Trying to understand the physics and building differences.

@@UnitSe7en The physics of Stormworks is interesting, I've made my fair share of mistakes while building and discovering what works and doesn't work. Creative/Custom mode allows for all testing and building purposes without fear of going broke or running out of fuel early in the game. Happened to me on my first Classic Career game. The building of vehicles is pretty much limited to your imagination, but ultra huge builds will bog down the beefiest of PC's. I Tend to stay with medium to large builds personally. My current project is a Quad Jet Engine VTOL, using fluid pivots and thrust vectoring to hover and then fly with ailerons, rudders & elevators in plane mode. Right now all it does is fly erratically in the air. I think I have too many wing sections providing too much lift for the weight of the plane. It's a process, but when it works the way you want it too, it's a satisfying feeling. I have many hours ahead of me on this project.

The crankshafts add some resistance, they are like baby flywheels, so putting more will reduce the engine performance on the generator, but it's better for vehicles since it adds more inertia, thus preventing the engine from stalling especially when more load is put on it (changing gears for example)
