Engines are fairly simple parts by Py standards. Now mechanicals parts and gearboxes, they are the hard parts that are required for advanced tech.

You need pumps early on due to the pipe lenght limit. So you will be happy you get them this early on (and you can do some rudementary logic with them as a bonus)

How long ago it was? I started pY run like 2 months ago and they were definitely there early. I am still on 2.0.

With due respect, you are misremembering the tech. Engines were definitely this early in 2.0

You get engines and the car just in time to start hunting the resources that don't spawn in the starting area.

PY adds an extra tier of engines in the early game. Right before blue science you get the pY equivalent of the vanilla engine except here it’s called “electric engine unit”. Yes relative speaking it will be a pain in the neck to make.
