Keep trying, and failing, to start engine - what am I doing wrong?

[TheNewTeddy]

A lot of the things we*/I are told about the engine are just false. For example; that the pipes bursting does nothing; it does plenty as it drains the pressure from your loop. In addition, the instructions provided are frequently, at the best of times, unclear. Such as "open the incoming valve". There are a dozen valves, which one should be opened?
