Just a follow-up confirming that this fixed all of my issues. I have yet to replace all of my pipe with conduit, but my engines all seems to work now when connected to anything with conduit. Thanks all!

I really appreciate the follow-up, thanks. I will definitely add this capability to my set-up.

Cool (I plan on switching to Magmatic when I can get a steady supply of lava... just don't have it yet). So I take that to mean that you can hook up Energy Conduit directly to an engine without the use of a Wooden Conductive Pipe?

Thanks, I think that will fix my problem.. I will follow up this evening with feedback if it worked.

When you say maxing out on power, what does that mean? What amount of power would cause the engines to shut down? I think that may be another cause for my issue at this point..

Both answers helped, so no worries!

Perfect sense. If an engine needs to be connected directly to a device, it would require at least two Energy Conduits. Since I am using a "power grid" of sorts, I don't think this will be an issue, but good information nonetheless!

Fair enough. To clarify, what did you mean by:

Thanks for that link, that was exactly what I was looking for. As a follow up: Are you suggesting that I replace all of my conductive piping with Energy Conduit? Or rather that I end the piping in conduit?

After looking around the wiki and Googling a bit, it is still unclear to me what version of BuildCraft is included currently in New Tekkit/New Tekkit Server. The reason I am trying to determine the version is because I am having major issues with engines powering down, and therefore not powering any number of machines. My current setup: Up to 8 Combustion Engines using fuel, fully supplied with water. Wooden conductive pipes on top of each engine, followed by a central hub of golden conductive wires leading to my machinery. The problem: Even though there is a demand for power, the engines stop pumping. For instance, a quarry will not operate, even though it is hooked up to the power grid. No power is output, and the engines' stored energy just sky-rockets. The number of engines does not seem to matter, in that I can remove piping from all but one engine, all the way up to 8 and nothing changes. I have even allowed the stored energy to drain, and powered the system back on to no avail. A temporary fix was to add a Redstone Energy Cell (set to allow an input of 100MJ/t), which allowed power to flow once again. However, now this will not even work (I have tried with 1 cell, and 2, with every combination of engines). What am I missing? TLDR: What version of BuildCraft is included in New Tekkit/New Tekkit Server, and why aren't my engines working?
