It's mainly used to assist engineers in starting up bigger engines like the [textlink="Singularity Engine" link="SingularityEngine"] or [textlink="Tesla Engine" link="TeslaEngine"], by supplementing the station's [textlink="batteries" link="PowerStorage"] with partial power to extend their runtime.
To construct an AME, start putting down a 3x3 or larger square of AME flatpacks in preparation for construction, making sure to maximize the number of "center" pieces that are surrounded on all eight sides.
The greater amount of center pieces, the more cores your AME will have, and the more power it will be able to output safely.

## Operation
To start the AME, insert a fuel jar into the AME controller, and set the safe injection rate.
The safe injection rate is the point where the AME can safely run without overheating, while maximizing power output.
This rate is always twice the core count.
For example, an AME with one core will have a safe injection rate of 2. With two cores, the safe injection rate would be 4, and so on.
Any more than this ratio will eventually result in the engine [color=#ff0000]overheating[/color] and, shortly afterwards, [color=#ff0000]exploding[/color].
The AME controller will [textlink="report" link="InspectingPower"] on both the amount of power it is providing to the grid, and the theoretical maximum power it could provide if demanded.
