You may use a wrench to fix it when it is broken. However, the ability to use lava as fuel for combustion engines was removed. In further versions you can still use lava as fuel in Stirling Engines. In versions of Buildcraft prior to 4.1.0, combustion engines were also able to convert lava into MJ at a rate of 1MJ/t. If a combustion engine runs out of water, it will begin to heat up and breakdown.Ĭombustion engines provide enough power to draw full stacks when used on a Wooden Pipe and move a Quarry without delays between each action. However, unlike engines from the lower tiers a combustion engine requires water to maintain a safe temperature and will continuously drain its internal water tank once it reaches the maximum safe operating temperature. It can convert oil or fuel into MJ at a rate of 3MJ/t and 6MJ/t respectively, making it the most powerful of the three buildcraft engines. The Combustion Engine is the highest tier of buildcraft engine.
