Now then, gates go on pipes. That’s the only place they go. For this experiment, we’ll be putting an iron gate on the conductive pipe directly attached to a machine which draws power. Run red pipe wiring along the conductive pipe to your combustion engines. Run some redstone behind or underneath them, wherever you can fit it. The gate at the machine should say “Has Work → Red Pipe Signal”, the one near the combustion engines should be “Red Pipe Signal → Redstone Signal”. Now when the machine has work (has something to do) your combustion engines turn on. You can hook up an iron gate to each machine in your network if you like. That way, you won’t be wasting fuel if your factory is idle.
