Turn off Combustion engines before they explode?

[Noah Smith]

Hello guys, I was wondering if there is a way to stop combustion engines while your afk.

By that I mean to have some setup where when they turned red they would automatically turn off. It is annoying to have to constantly check up on my oil refinery because im paranoid. Thanks for any help

Pipe gates can check the state of your engines, they are in Buildcraft 3.

Set up the redstone signals that activate the engines to cycle off for certain time periods using RedPower stuff, or just link them to a switch for you to shut off manually when you go afk.

You could also set up a system that detects if water's being pumped into the engines, and shut the engines off if it's not.

Use gates. Direwolf used a setup to do it in his season 3 lp.

Or.... build a pump in the same chunk so they /can't/ overheat?

Just wanted to say, for those times when you can't avoid combustion engine explosions, they look prettier in JohnSmith Technician's Remix!
