A Radial Performance Engine with 3 pistons

Much like the Diesel Generator, the Radial Performance Engine's efficiency varies depending on the fuel used. Unlike the aforementioned generator though, this one's performance will increase even further the more Radial Engine Pistons you put in.

The compatible fuels for this generator are

Alongside one of those, you will need to insert a minimum of 3 Radial Engine Pistons (with a maximum of 9) to make it run. The amount of fuel consumed by the engine increases in a linear fashion with every piston, (pistons * 5) but the energy production increases more (HE-from-fuel * pistons^1.15), making 9 pistons overall more effective than 3, despite using up fuel much faster.
