Compact Solar Engine

The Compact Solar Engine is the only solar engine that does not take up the top slot in Steve's Carts, but uses the sides instead. It generates energy at the same speed as the Solar Engine, but it has much less power capacity and is more expensive to craft.

A minecart equipped with a solar engine must have a clear view of the sky, so a solar engine on an underground mining cart would not be useful. Leaves also block the view, so a Wood Cutter cart should have a tiny or regular coal engine as an alternate power source when it is chopping down trees.

Recipe
The Compact Solar Engine is crafted with two Solar Panels, two Iron Ingots, two Advanced PCB, one Redstone Dust, and two Pistons.
