Modular Engine and ECU Microcontroller Tutorial in Stormworks (Engineer Explains) 

i dont think you understand how helpful you are to the community

FINALLY! After the YEARS of updates most info out there was outdated. Now i can finally scale Engines how i want em'.

Hey 454ss could you maybe make a video about carrer and classic modes about overhauls/rework? They need reworks and additions badly i know not a lot of people play it but i think its amazing to see how well your builds work and since you are a bigger Stormworks youtuber they might take it into consideration. I already have some ideas but im not really going to write them all here. Thanks!

Hi mr 454ss! Its me, This is the best day! This os ehat i wanted sooo badly! PLEASE post this engine and microcontroller on the workshop to save other people's time that can't make it! I will get to making it rn! Thx❤.

Thanks for the informational video on a subject I wanted to see, saving this in my watchlist!

Thank you, I came for this information right at 4:40. I watched a few other videos and they didn't really explain this part in clear detail. Definitely going to bookmark this and refer back to it as I continue learning the game.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE I NEED THESE SO MUCH! THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Hi 454ss! Thank you for ALL the videos, they are awesome! I particularly like the idea of an actual Engineer with experience taking the time, not only building but sharing the whole process (more often than note, when I try to ad the game to others, the reaction is "it's more like work than a game!") Two things: - Could you do a comparison analysis with 1x1 vs 3x3 vs 5x5 cyl modular motors too? Almost all documentation or videos are about 1x1, but eg. larger ships might use 5x5 or trains 3x3. I'd be very interested what you find. - There is a workshop microcontroller, called "Stacking graph", which is VERY useful to visualize numbers and trends. I suggest you try it. (sorry, can't link it, YT deleted my post already once because of the URL to the Steam Workshop) Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more videos!

Thanks for the great tutorial!

Finally you make my dream come true some good information clear and easy speaking for myself of course hope you upload that engine with the microcontroller in case I I don't want to make the microcontroller

the best totorial i have ever seen thank u

Just a reminder that is entirely possible for you to put together an engine perfectly and get the cooling bug which there is nothing you can do besides making a new vehicle. I've tested it and it has something to do with the save file of the vehicle. Its seems to be completely random as to which creations the bug affects but I've gone and made the same exact engine with the same cooling loop across several different save files and some of them work fine and the others have the cooling bug. This is likely never going to be fixed since this has been an issue with modular engines since they were added.

For a basic microcontroller, wouldn't you have wanted a rps limiter as well. Of course it's easily addable but maybe for the people who don't want to touch this controller at all? Love the video and creation as always though 😊

anyway to get rid of the radiator and cool it another way that is smaller

Hey, you forgot to put fluid in the cooling loop. Since the update of the modular engines there isn't any fluid in any system unless you put a tank in between which contains the right type of fluid. But I love this tutorial, I always struggle with modular engines and how to control them.

I think that best ration starts from 13.8 end's at 14.1,i get 80% to 90% efficent with that ration

for boats is there a way to add brakes to either the boat itself or the props? like a reverse clutch almost

So the problem i'm having is that i've just spent the last 6ish hour going through this bit by bit and the engine won't fully start, it gets to 3.89 rps and dies every time. I don't know if i'm the problem and just something or i've got bug that wont allow modular engines to run properly.

when I increase my throttle, some cylinders suddenly get an insanely high air fuel ratio (Around 16000), it only happens to certain cylinders and not all of them, and only when I increase the throttle higher that 0.2 (idle), is it an issue and how would I fix it?

Just noticed this was from 4 weeks ago, Can you add a RPM Limiter? I love this ECU So far, so simple and so elegant, Just needs to limit its RPM so the engine don't fire pistons out

Couldn’t find an empty microcontroller, where is it?

I have a problem today, my engines won't start anymore, the fuel acting strange lately

Apparently I can't share a link to my micro controller. I got a video on my channel with a link to it. Please look at my ecu. It's a 1x3, doesn't care if you use forced induction or not, doesn't care if you crank the air throttle up and down really fast or change the amount of air being pumped in and internally it's about half of the logic or less than you have in this controller.
