    Should have a fuel tank, and must be able to run on diesel OR oil. It has to work with both. it has to have an exhaust, and on/off buttons. It needs a fuel gague, and an indicator to tell [the player] that the fuel has run out.

    Place a design in here, so we may tell you what should be improved.

     

    Here's two designs if you require a model:

    If you want to see how to make a good engine, I found http://www.animatedengines.com/ quite useful. I made a lot of engines like 3 years ago when I still played this game a lot.
    An engine that can use OIL or DESL seems a bit strange, and I also don't understand if you are asking for someone to just make you an engine, or if you want help with how to make one.

     The first one has pretty much the same concept as an engine. Use something to burn something and create energy.

    That's not even close to being an engine...

    If you're still here, here is an 'oversized' example of an engine by mitto_mors from a few years ago.


    Also check out some of my saves - one day I'll probably get around to making a tutorial on how to make a proper engine, but yea.
    Here is one of my favourites:

    I know it's not I just put it there because science. I have to remember that powerplants produce electricity and engines provide propulsion.
