oh ok. good guide though

I made this guide over 2 years ago- I didn’t expect anyone to care.

I can’t be assed to fix it rn

This is a really great guide, especially when there's a creation on the workshop with a broken engine and you don't want to create a brand new modular engine. One thing I would suggest is to add some indicator for each category of what the engine would do if the issue occurred there. Example: The engine blows up because of this; the engine sputters because of that, etc.

i didnt quite understand whether or not coolants are important, are they or are they?

"Radioactive cookie, valve & some pipe work would do the trick, wouldnt be instant but if you put a T into the cooling system and a valve so you can bypass the cooling system you can overheat and set an engine on fire pretty quick esp if you have engines in a sequence
