I can see a multi-purpose chimney sort of thing working, yeah. I figured smokestacks were just pipes that stuck up in the air is all. I suppose I was mistaken.
There are tons of those threads.
To contribute something:
A normal steam engine would be unhandy, because it'd have to be longer than 1 block, or else it would look ridiculous.
But, if it's longer than 1 block, it would cause mayor problems (curves, slopes)
Solution:
Hell yes! Best looking steam engine ever! And that could still fit my component design! Except maybe... Hrm
How about instead of building it on the tracks, you build the Steam Engine and Fuel Car in the crafting menu with the materials (both are under 3x3 so it'd work) and then you place it and you can't put it back in your inventory like mine carts?
