Not a problem at all, it's always fun working through new quirks like that. =)

A thought: If you're using conduits, is there really a need to have a condition to turn the engines on/off? You're not losing anything by running them full-time into conduits (which don't explode and will actually buffer 1000 MJ/block of conduit) since you have to keep the boiler going full time anyway. I have my industrials hooked up directly to the boiler with six of the engines on each face of the boiler and levers between them to provide the "on" signal (I like levers, what can I say), and then the conduits come off of the tips of those and it's all just kept going all the time.

(I'd totally share screens, but my desktop system is offline at the moment while I rearrange the room it's in and thus I'm relegated to a netbook to troll the forums with).

Levers...how could i forget levers...well this solves all my problems..:)
With all the amazing toys from all kinds of different mods i forgot the simplest and cheapest solution..::) Thanks again!!!
