Engine Setup (Prefab)

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.

Some Groundwork

Prefab engines in Stormworks require four things: Fuel, Air, Coolant, and Exhaust. Electricity 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.

As mentioned prior; this guide will be utilising the Small Prefab engine, but the same principles can be applied to the other variants, exceptions will be noted at each individual step.

Step 1: Assembling our Components

There are a few components needed for this guide:

Small Engine	Fluid Exhaust
Fluid Port End	Pipe Straight
Pipe Angle	Fluid Tank (Small, Medium or Large)
Fluid Heat Radiator	Clutch
Small Propellor	Throttle Lever
Dial(a)	Push Button
Battery (Small, Medium or Large)

(a) - The dial is not absolutely necessary, but will be useful for trouble shooting any potential problems and will aid in demonstrating what is going on.
