So yeah, it worked fine. I had to use 8 combustion engines, one on both sides of each wooden pipe. As the engines heated up they eventually produced excess ice. Then, the cataclysm. The engines exploded on their own. I don't get why. They had a normal supply of fuel and this never happened with a regular combustion engine power plant. As I was trying to find out what happened, the remains of the nuclear reactor exploded, blowing the roof off of my house (not much else though, other than parts of my lava tank and fuel tank. The engines were supplied by plenty of water pumps pumping from infinite water sources. Can anyone tell me why they blew up? It doesn't make sense to me. They had proper water cooling. Is water not a good enough coolant when using refined oil? This hasn't happened before and right now I'm slightly annoyed at the destruction caused. I put hours into crafting all the components.
