I was messing around with buildcraft for the first time, and I placed the quarry. After reading that the more power it had given to it, the faster it went I thought... there has to be a faster way then just 3 engines connected to it! So I found the Kinesis pipes. After connecting more engines via wooden kinesis pipes I tried all of the other ones (cobblestone, stone, gold, ect) and the engines placed on their back like they were not there! Also, if you placed 2 wooden kinesis pipes next to each other they would stay separate.

Steps to reproduce: Connect a wooden pipe to a quarry, then connect an engine to it. Repeat with the other types of Kinesis pipes, and you will see that the engine doesn't connect.
Additional information:

Yes I noticed that just now, is that a feature or a bug?

Yes, wooden kinesis pipes won't connect to other wooden kinesis pipes. However you can connect wooden kinesis pipes to other types of kinesis pipes, which will allow you to connect multiple engines.

EDIT: And engines (by design) only connect to wooden kinesis pipes.

Feature (technically), although unlike item and fluid pipes kinesis pipes don't really need a specific extraction pipe for anything.

Ok
