Steam Engines when using conductive pipes are very safe sources of power as they will never overheat, using a large steam engine powerplant for oil refineries is recommended as the oil can then be used for better purposes other than fueling the engines that power the refinery themselves. Daisy Chaining engines is the Most inefficient way to power a buildcraft device, and the engines are very likely to explode, use conductive pipes it is much safer
