Just for future reference, don't give people the information about how to get a million megawatts on their first try, or whatever, just tell them how to set up the engine in the easiest and most basic way, and let them figure out the rest themselves. No fun in knowing literally everything about the engine before you've even touched the engine ingame. Thanks -  [[User:Nitrous|Nerdtrous]] ([[User talk:Nitrous|talk]])

Agreed on that. I found a quiet round and managed to get the engine up and running with just the paper note you get given and some guesswork. I've got to admit, the paper's not entirely intuitive (when it talks about 1% and 10% of maximum output, I really have no idea), and the engine control computer... well, what do the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 settings actually do? I'd like to spend more time figuring it out though. One thing that might be worth mentioning is how to get hold of new gas tanks. I suppose the ideal situation is to not run out of them, but I can't think off the top of my head what you could do if you did. --[[User:Niars|Niars]] ([[User talk:Niars|talk]]) 14:05, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

kinda redundant with engineering/engine page, maybe should be deleted --Mozi (talk) 17:43, 18 October 2012 (CDT)

I think it was put up in the beginning of this wiki before job pages were codified. Maybe rewrite it slightly as a "The Engineers are dead/nonexistant and shit's turning off, what to do?" guide --Archenteron (talk) 18:10, 18 October 2012 (CDT)

Notice

As a result of the new Engine, all the old Singularity stuff no longer applies, so this is a copy of the General start-up procedure. This may not completely apply and this page should be updated when more information is available. Consider everything I just posted on the page to be potentially out of date, unless cogwerks corrected it, and as a result should be updated by someone who knows what they are doing engine wise. Also since it's a copy of an ingame document, it's rather out of line with the rest of the wiki. Atomic1fire (talk) 05:23, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
