    the designs  i see on tpt are mostly childish misinterpretations of motors. I'm trying to change that by making good ones and with a multitude of defining characteristics. please check em out because I'm not getting anything but a vote up or 2

    It's pretty nice but you might want to make it a little neater.

    Also realistic engines aren't possible due to no moving solids.
    Also your creation only shows the pistons.

    @DCBloodHound (View Post) yeah just the basic building block but i am trying to refine them little by little and when i say realistic i mean ignition and airflow because no tpt doesn't have rigid body physics and yes my stuff emphasizes the pistons,injection,valves, etc. because they're the most important parts of any tpt engine

    Hey these are really cool! I'm especially impressed by the effort you put in to getting the timings right so they don't stall or catch fire, and the turbo/super/intercooler/oxygen injector realism.

    BTW, you can put just a single pixel of DMND right at the end of the pointy thing on a {t} sign to sample temperature without blocking airflow.
