How to/where to place the modular engine temperature sensor?

[Hellsvien]

Help me step brother. I'm lost.

On a square slot on the small modular engine crankshaft.

Thanks for your reply, does this work on all 3x3 & 5x5 engines?

There is no such thing like a engine temperature sensor. To get the engines temperature you need to read the cylinder block composite output on channel 3 (if I remember right). But with mouse over the composite port the tooltip tells you which port it is.
The part called temperature sensor measures the temperature of the outside air NOT the engines internal temperature! It is not a part of the modular engine.

There actually is a temperature sensor for the modular engune. It allows you to read the temperature of a crankshaft which generally equates to the temperature of the engine as a whole. It outputs a number output as opposed to a composite like the cylinder.

Thank you for your response. My friend on Steam ended up telling me the same. Composite outputs directly, so I placed an instrument panel with 3 channels.

1 - air
2 - fuel
3 - Temperature

It works perfectly.

Thank you for your response NiceGuy!

Yes, this is what I was trying to use but it did not work for me. It is solved now with my response to NiceGuy.

Thanks for your response still.

it only works on 1x1 cranckshafts.

You can adapt down to 1x1 if necessary
