What it does#

The Igneous Engine burns lava and turns it into FE. It makes 80 FE/t while it has fuel, more than the Caloric Engine's 40 FE/t, and pushes that power out of its front into whatever is touching it.

Each Lava Bucket of fuel is worth 200,000 FE, enough to run the engine for 125 s. Because it takes fuel by pipe, a lava pump or a tank of lava feeds it with no hands involved.

Building it#

####

Using it#

There is no fuel slot. Fill the tank with a bucket (use the bucket on the engine) or pipe fuel into an input face. Click the tabs and the coloured faces below; they behave like the real screen.

• Auto-input pulls lava from neighbouring tanks
• Economizer: more FE per bucket

1. 1
   The engine's own store of power. It fills while nothing takes the FE and empties as neighbours draw it.
2. 2
   Running while it burns. Idle when the tank is empty; Disabled when redstone has switched it off.
3. 3
   The fuel tank. Hover it for the fluid, how much is in it and what a bucket is worth. It can be filled but never drained, so it only ever gives its contents to the engine.
4. 4
   What it makes each tick, how full the buffer is, and how long the whole tank lasts at the current output.
5. 5
   Which faces take fuel and which push power. Click a face to change it; right-click to go back.

Fuels#

Lava, and nothing else. Pipe it in from a tank or pump, or pour a bucket straight into the engine.

Automation#

Out of the box it powers whatever its front touches, no cable needed:

Front Output (pushes FE); Every other face Input (takes fuel). Auto-input off, Auto-output on.

Pipe fuel into any input face, or turn on Auto-input to pull it from a tank beside it. Side configuration explains faces, modes and redstone control for every machine.

Upgrades#

A tier kit raises its output and buffer and opens module slots.

Tier	Kit	Output	Buffer	Module slots

• Celerity Module · up to 4
• Economizer Module · up to 4

Engines trade their two modules against each other:

• Celerity raises output by 50% each, but every bucket gives less FE.
• Economizer adds 34.375% FE per bucket each and 25% buffer.

Four Celerity modules triple the output, 3×, at 33% of the FE per bucket. Four Economizers get 2.375× the FE from every bucket at the same output. Four of each give 79% of the FE per bucket at triple the output.

Good to know#

• Lava is the only fuel it accepts; anything else is refused by the tank.
• The engine draws fuel from the tank in small sips, so a half-empty tank still runs at full output.
• Its running sound is a crackle over a low hum. Turn it off with Sounds on the Configuration tab.
• With Jade installed, looking at the engine shows its output and the fuel left.
