as the title says red stone engines when placed on a machine work just fine but when i try and hook them up to wooden conductive pipe then to the machine they don't seam to register that the pipe is there at all. tested on my privet server and then in single player. can any one else confirm or is it just me?
redstone engine not working correctly.

To be fair, redstone are more for item pumping than anything else, they provide so little power that it is not worth the cost anyway.
I like this a lot since huge power generators with hundreds of redstone engines were overpowered and caused a lot of lag.
i can see your point on lag but saying a redstone engine is over powered is like saying an ant is over powered VS a human. gwish
120 redstone engines is the equivalent of a combustion engine and since they're so cheap you can easily make a couple hundred and never have to worry about energy again.
i think this is still possible you just have to attach them to a redstone energy cube thing, not sure though i havent tested it yet, im using them to power thermal expansion machines though, the liquid transposer mostly, everything else im just making lava from netherrack and sending it to magmatic engines.
On the Thermal Expansion Redstone power front:
Looks like it would've worked but may no longer work depending on your configs as of 2.0.4.
Redstone engines still do provide direct power... it's just not a lot of it (1MJ/second at the top level, which is to say 1/20th the output of a Stirling Engine).
As for whether they power Forestry machines at all anymore... Forestry isn't open source and Sengir hasn't publicly posted a changelog, so that's anybody's guess.

so you mean to tell me that you set have seen some try and set up 240 redstone engines to power a quarry? and if they did that would be stupid when 3 LV solar arrays would power it at full.
I used to play on a server where everyone would setup 360 redstone engines to power each quarry which makes them run at full speed, we didn't have compact solars back then.
