@@ProfNCognito in the video there wasn’t an air node until you just plug it in with the air manifold, could you explain how to make the node? I’m new with the game it’s all really confusing for me lol
I finally found a fix to the air thing. 1 Go into microcontroller 2 Add a new node named "air" and make it an output on the number type 3 Put the node near the throttle node 4 Connect the throttle to the air node in the MC 5 exit out of the MC 6 Connect the "air" node from the MC to the air manifold on the engine Follow those steps and it should work.
Thank you so much! I don’t know if you’d know how to fix this but even with the added air node, my engine still rapidly loses air:fuel ratio as soon as a release my starter button and the exhaust never triggers. Do you know what I’m doing wrong?
i encountered this same problem and i found a way to fix it, i basically just kept the microcontroller as is in the video but instead connected the throttle directly to the air intake i have no idea why it would sputter since it should be getting the same number but it works@@ciqme
Thank you for this. The microcontroller helped me get running an engine that would not start on a traditional manual AF tweaking setup. Though i'm yet to get the boat to move.
This was really good up until you changed your microcontroller in between cuts and didn't explain how you added air into the mix. Would be really nice if you cut in a quick explanation or image of your complete controller.
@@ProfNCognito Sorry but i dont understand it either. In the Clip you put air from mc into air manifold. What do you mean by throttle goes straith to the air? Other than that great video!
I can't find the fuel manifold on the engine...did we remember to put that in? I'm at 9:40 in the video...maybe it comes in later...I'm very confused and have the dumbs today...
I'm not sure if I am misunderstanding the commented correction with the microconteroller or what, but I cannot get the engine to start. If I do a setup with manual air/fuel throttle levers it works, though not very efficiently.
I really don't know whats wrong with my engine. it turns on and spools just fine for roughly 10 second and then it will stall and not turn on again. Do you have any idea whats wrong with it?
ok, so i built it like in the video, but the clutch doesn't work. I did it the same as you, and when I check it, the tooltip says that the clutched throttle is zero. Can you help me?
My engine just will not start. I am using 12 of the 5x5 cylinders but in the same layout as in the vid. I've quintuple checked everything and nothing will work. Would using larger cylinders change anything?
@@ProfNCognito thanks for the quick response I’m new and I accidentally put the air manifold on the back of a cylinder instead of the attachment part lol, great video bro!
3x3 and 5x5 engine need 3 to 5x the cooling that 1x1 engines need. If you want to run them at full throttle, you need to have a coolant flow rate of 1000L/S or more to keep a 5x5 engine from overheating. Most radiators have a limit of 64-74L/s so you need a LOT of them to get the 1000+L/s to get proper cooling.
Man this is weird, I followed the vid exactly, but the engine just isn't running. It turns over and starts, but it immediately dies. When I checked the engine in the game, it said exhaust was at 0%, even though I made the exhaust exactly like in your vid... any ideas as to why it might not be working?
I added a small pump, powered by the battery, to the exhaust to see if that helped, but exhaust is still 0% and the engine won't start. The fuel manifold also says 0L/s when I check the flow in-game. I followed the MC design to the letter, even every step of the logic and I'm scratching my head as to why I can't get it to work lol
Okay, here come the dumb questions. Did you hook everything up right? Are you giving it gas/throttle? If exhaust is zero somewhere something is hooked up wrong. Let me know.
@@ProfNCognito Yes, as far as I know, everything should be properly hooked up, I followed everything in this video. Except for the part where you had an additional "Air" output in the MC that you connected to the air intakes, for my model, I just connected the throttle to the air intake.
Yeah its the full power thing. You want to try and get a lower rps. Like the vanilla engines they work best at 20% or 20 rps. They will also be super fuel efficient.
You could actually turn the radiator on, he never told you this, but the fan on the radiator he used has to be turned on in order to cool anything, lower power makes it to where a engine with no coolant won’t explode, so just hook a toggle button to the, “Fan on/off” logic node and hook up electric
Someting im not getting right here? You got two fuel slots on the MC but I cant really see where you put the Fuel one. I see the Fuel and Alt but im so confused. Plus it just sits there reving. Dosnt start propperly
Throttle to air is how to fix. It was removed from the MC but I missed the cut.
I still can't understand the throttle to air thing can you help me more pls I'm not good at this I'm still 2 days in to the game
I forgot the node so just hook up the throttle to the air node.
@@ProfNCognito stll wont work. maybe you should remake it?

I finally found a fix to the air thing.
1 Go into microcontroller
2 Add a new node named "air" and make it an output on the number type
3 Put the node near the throttle node
4 Connect the throttle to the air node in the MC
5 exit out of the MC
6 Connect the "air" node from the MC to the air manifold on the engine
Follow those steps and it should work.
THANK YOU

Thank Alot
I noticed that you didnt add an air logic while going through that part but after you finished and cut to the next clip it magically has an air logic
THANK YOU! I was so angry and confused by that!
Yep
He pointed that out in the comments
Thank you for this. The microcontroller helped me get running an engine that would not start on a traditional manual AF tweaking setup. Though i'm yet to get the boat to move.
Ah, maybe now I can be arsed to get into this modular stuff. Nicely done, Prof.
If you have trouble let me know.
I am having problems with modular engines, or the Devs broke something related to handling exhaust fluids.
Okay, something about manifold pieces has changed. Air intake is also finicky. It might be worth revisiting this subject.
Me thinking: Ah sad, I just figured this out myself and now the tutorial is here
where on the engine do I connect pipes to the tires? im new
From clutch
Thank you so so so much, I made one that fully worked but it was so weak and never wanted to move good but jow I am gonna make a race car 🙃

Throttle to air. That's all.
@@ProfNCognito Thanks for the quick reply that makes sense
@@kodelic9679 yeah no problem
When did you put the "air" output on your microcontroller? I haven't seen it in logic...
Throttle goes straight to the air. No air from MC.
@@ProfNCognito oh alr
@@ProfNCognito can I ask what that means?
@@Mercury_cougar_lover223?
@@ProfNCognito Sorry but i dont understand it either. In the Clip you put air from mc into air manifold. What do you mean by throttle goes straith to the air? Other than that great video!
I am just wondering, is it a good idea to have multiple fuel and air intake manifolds on an engine, like one per every cylinder?
Yes but it burns more fuel.
I have made an engine with that idea, but it will just die after a minute of running, and it isn’t because it runs out of fuel
The four ports on manifolds are supposed to represent, air-coolant-fuel-exhaust transfer ports, so a manifold should carry these between cylinders.
As soon as I let go of the starter my air:fuel ratio just divebombs. What am I doing wrong?
I can't find the fuel manifold on the engine...did we remember to put that in? I'm at 9:40 in the video...maybe it comes in later...I'm very confused and have the dumbs today...
OK...that particular answer comes at about 9:45... xD
I build mine exactly the same but when i start it, it revs super high and bounces revs or dies...what am i doing wrong
Your chanel is so good bro thanks

Good video, keep up the good work
What do i do if i want to make the throttle control from my seat?
just pick a seat node like up down or ws
@@ProfNCognito Thx
I followed everything and my starter does nothing the button presses but nothing happens and it doesnt start pls Reply i need help
How do I make The engine go faster right now my boat goes 2.6 while the medium engine goes 6.
Gear boxes
@@ProfNCognito forgot they existed. but, thank you!
pls help every engine that ive done in the last 2 weeks didnt work unless i turned on inf fuel help
Then it's not getting fuel. Fuel not hooked up right. Recheck connections.
Make sure you have auto refuel turned on otherwise tanks spawn empty.
And what do i do when the engine overheats and burns me alive?
To much rps probably.
@@ProfNCognito Pid maybe?
What rps you running at?
@@ProfNCognito i just use the throttle
If the engine goes above 20 rps it will overheat
i followed the tutorial exacley but for some reason when I use the starter the engine starting sound plays but the engine doesn't start

Try throttle straight to air and get back to me.

@@ProfNCognito Wait, I got it, it just needed more starters
Nice one
I made a boat with these but it goes very slow and the engines die once I turn off the starter what should I do?
Sounds like a gear ratio thing. Start by changing them up and see if it changes.

Connect to your on switch
My engine runs excellent but the RPS keeps climbing gradually never stops any ideas?
Do you have anything connected to the clutch?
@@ProfNCognito yes I have a medium generator
@@Dieselnut11 not sure. Maybe post in my discord and someone might spot the problem.

oh wait i put the crankshafts the wrong wait
Glad you got it
mine stops working after using the generator, why does this happen?
Gen using to muck power.
@@ProfNCognito I cannot restart it after this, does that mean it is broken?
How long till it over heats. My only issue is having to spam cooling manifolds on my 3x3's and 5x5's
just dont run them wide open and you should be good.
3x3 and 5x5 engine need 3 to 5x the cooling that 1x1 engines need.

did everything that was in the video but my wont start at all
edit: got it to rotate and make noise but no propulsion or it dies down
