Energy is needed to operate machines as well as extracting items out of chests, automatic crafting tables and furnaces. BuildCraft uses the MJ power up till 1.6.4 and in 1.11.2 and 1.12.2, and the RF power in 1.7.2 and 1.8.
Engines
BuildCraft's three engines, (from left to right) the Redstone Engine, Stirling Engine, and Combustion Engine.
Engines are used to produce energy.
There are three types of engines:
Redstone Engine: Cheapest engine that produces the least energy. It only needs a redstone signal to work, but cannot be connected to a power grid and isn't able to run most machines.
Steam Engine (Stirling Engine): Produces a good amount of energy but needs burnable items to run.
Combustion Engine: Produces a lot of energy, explodes if not cooled with water. Needs fuel to run most efficient but also accepts oil (only accepts lava prior to 4.1).
Conductive Pipes
A machine can be powered by placing the engine next to it, however, there is a more comfortable way to power them by using conductive pipes and having all engines at a central power plant.
Conductive pipes extracting energy out of combustion engines
Wooden conductive pipes are needed to extract the energy from the engines so that the energy can be transferred by stone or golden conductive pipes to the target machine.
Extracting items
Items can be extracted out of chests, furnaces and automatic crafting tables by attaching wooden pipes to them.
Extracting items out of a chest
Wooden pipes must be powered by an engine next to it, depending on the engine used, they will extract different quantities of items at once.
