I don't know if that would work here. When I work with standard piston engines, I get problems somewhere at the top of their performance range where the crank starts to bend and cause the timing to go all weird. To solve this, I've recently started moving the tops of my pistons instead, which has allowed me to make some pretty powerful engines without having to worry about bending the crank. I don't know how you would do that with an engine like this, but you probably could if you wanted to.

There are mods which add challenge mode's bomb-spawning parts to the creative inventory which are _technically_ vanilla that you can use if the tubes prove to be too unwieldy in the future. Also, you can use a spud gun to trigger bombs. One shot will trigger it and two will cause the bomb to instantly explode. Also also the spud gun can destroy cardboard blocks, which you could use to make loading the engine less manual.

When you made the bomb activation mechanism, there is actually a part called the pleceable spud gun, it's a gun that you can turn on like any other usable piece. When you use it it shoots a potato that can destroy a cardboard block and activate bombs, if you use more than 1 gun to shoot the bomb at once, it explodes it instantly. You could still use pistons but spud guns are more compact and convenient

@endodd_7742

The 90° offset in the crankshaft can be done with a bearing on a controller set to hold an angle of 90°, which is much more reliable, easy and less performance intensive. This is how most piston based engines in scrap mechanic do the offset. Note that block collissions in scrap mechanic aren't very reliable in general. Blocks coliding at high speeds can phase through each other and high forces can lead to hinges bending in axis they shouldn't move in.

Also you could use a vacuum pump with a chest filled with bombs to just place the bombs on the good location itself (looks less cool but its more reliable in scrap mechanic to use as little loose objects as possible) and also the vacuum pumps have quite some range.

For the long corridor of bombs I'd recommend making the piston father back and have it push a series of metal blocks that in total is the length of the corridor so it prevents the bombs from slipping in and exploding on the retraction. I would also recommend using the pistons compression to ignite the bombs instead of a complicated ignition system involving sensors and what not.

okay so try one of you crankshaft pistons, but vertical. then have a separate tube pushing them in time with the piston. this will bounce it upward while setting it to detonate, but not immediately. hopefully, by the time the kinetic energy transferred form the piston wares off, the bomb will have reached a chamber with the simple free arm you showed in the beginning. the free arm will be attached to a wheel. when the bomb reaches the chamber, it explodes, sending the free arm flying. by the time the arm runs out of kinetic energy to spin, another bomb reaches it. now you have an engine. i would love to do this myself and send you a video, but my laptop can barely run building games like scrap mechanic and trailmakers.
