This guide will show you the basics of setting up a Prefab/Preset Engine. These engines come in 3 variants: Small, Medium, and Large. Further details on each individual prefab engine can be found here.
For the purposes of this guide we will be utilising the Small Engine, however the exact same steps can be used on all variants, with any information worth noting mentioned at relevant steps.
Step 1: Some Groundwork
Prefab engines in Stormworks require four things: Fuel, Air, Coolant, and Exhaust. Electricity[1] is also commonly used to start engines (see note for additional information).
Within this guide we will be utilising 2 fluid ports; the Fluid Exhaust, and Fluid Port End, these are however not the only things you can use. Please see here for more details on various fluid ports.
- ↑ Electricity is not necessarily required, but for the purposes of this guide it will be used as the starting method. An engine will operate without electricity and can be started using a hand crank geared up. This is however, not the typical method and so we will be using Electricity.
