The engine is producing a steady 60 RF/t, although its internal energy is remaining constant at 100000.

Sometimes power flows.

Sometimes it doesn't.

The assembly table reports 0RF/t or 16RF/t, but never higher.


Fillers and refineries also experience this.

Curiouser and curiouser.

It seems to work just fine if the pipe is lying flat next to the engine rather than above it. If the pipe is above the engine you have to hit the engine with a wrench and then it'll work just fine…

Edit: Other things require wrenching before activating as well, like redstone engines connected to wooden fluid pipes. Edit Edit: This is false, that was because the redstone engines were not producing enough power
