Engineering turtles aren't specifically required. Any turtle should be able to do this. Seems unfair to blame the TE turtle.
Hehe, I just knew that engineering turtle would work - didn't test other ones.
BTW, KingLemming, while you are here can you explain a bit about your ducts/conduits? They are awesome, but the only issue with them is that "output/input" settings are set for a block, and not for a connection. Any plans to change that?

To be honest, it has been explicitly stated that this is NOT intended for automation, and that any possible for of automation will be hunted and killed. Sengir is usually quite good at that (see apiaries and frames, and the new additions to frame housings for alvearies).
It's intended as a quick and easy way of getting a small amount of power. I'd suspect that the intended purpose is for beekeeping, as it's usually a pain to get some manner of MJ setup going to centrifuge the combs for basic resources.

I think I have that taken care of. (I'll hunt down and kill any loophole that allows for automation of that engine.
Awww, that's no fun

Meh, even without "automation killing", It's not a serious power source I think. I don't believe that there are somepony who runs his factory on redstone engines... Almost the same thing
There were people who used to run quarries on redstone engines (before they were fixed). I can understand the concern that, if it is perpetual, it's a relatively easy to set up nearly perpetual energy source, just requiring space.
You dont? There are quite a few people I know who had a little Redstone Engine Powerplant in their basement.
From powering a Quarry to 500 Engines, in little Towers, producing a serious amount of energy.
But you are wrong, Original Poster. It runs on fingers and mouses, which eventually will need to be replaced.

Please make it explode if outside "mechanism" tries to control it
With conduits, it outright wasn't possible until the recent BC API change. Liquiducts were kept the same way for consistency. It's something I'd like to address, but it involves a completely absurd revamp, and requires us to come up with a raytracing algorithm and a sub-selection box handler.
It'll happen, I'm just not sure when.
OK, thank you for the explanation! Did I say that I like your mod? In the case I didn't, I like your mod very much!^_~
"can't be automated" -sigh-
I wish more authors would let us do what we want. :/ Sure it's their mod, but people should be allowed to play the game easier if they want to play the game easy.
kind of a bummer that it's not as easy to make as the quartz grindstone. Sure I'll have free MJ, but at that point I'll have enough materials to make a full engine. It'd be like using a Grindstone when you have 6 stacks of iron. I don't want it for the free MJ, I want it because it (could have been) less expensive to start piping things around and doing basic stuff.

I mean, I wouldn't even care if its power was really low. Or even if it could only be used for Redstone Engine level stuff like pipes. I just want to be able to do that stuff before going down and getting iron/redstone and all that jazz. I understand it's balanced around the fact that you have to wind it, but why not let people "cheat" if they want? I mean, server owners could turn it off assuming a config for that isn't hard (I have no knowledge of java, you don't have to call me an idiot)
LOL, there's no way I'd blame TE for any ills. Your mod kept me playing modded minecraft.Engineering turtles aren't specifically required. Any turtle should be able to do this. Seems unfair to blame the TE turtle.
I need to keep my ideas to myself with Sengir & King Lemming on the job. LOL. I'm really looking forward to 1.5.1 and beyond. But if the moon gets nerfed I guess that'll be my fault for real.
Best.... Power... Source... Ever. The potential sound effects alone would be worth it.
Ah, yes. SirSengir, if you do find a way to prevent turtles from automating it, can you make it a config option?
