Crab Engine

A Crab Engine is a Wire contraption that utilizes a crab statue to spawn a crab then trap it while it is on a pressure plate. This will cause the crab to jump continuously on the pressure plate, effectively sending signals much faster than a 1 second Timer. There is another similar type of engine called the Bird Engine, which is actually slightly more effective than the typical Crab Engine.

Crab Engines are often used in combination with other statues to create several different types of farms. This includes Goldfish and Slime Statues.
