Automatic Reactor Controller

Fully automatic reactor controller circuit with convenient controls. Last updated for version: v0.11.0.10

What is this?

This is a vanilla item assembly that works as improved automatic control for reactors. It reacts very fasts to load fluctuations which helps to prevent overvoltage and runs reactor at critically low temperature which saves a lot of fuel.

The only required user input is to type new reactor max power in the controller's terminal if you decide to upgrade reactor's max power in the campaign game mode.

Reactor's output can be controlled with "+" and "-" buttons. Most devices can work properly with only 50% of their power consumption satisfied so setting the value lower that 100% saves fuel, but can cause brownouts when load fluctuates.

Controller can be turned on and off with the left switch, while the right switch can enable or disable smart docking system which sets reactor's output to 0 when docked to save fuel in campaign.

[hr] This workshop page was mainly created to serve as a user manual for this controller, since i use it on a lot of my submarines.

If you want to use this assembly in your own submarine you should adjust reactor's max power value in the cyan memory component (visible with structures disabled) and in the terminal's welcome message.

If you're looking for a controller that you can build during campaign, try this assembly instead. [hr]

How does it work?

This controller is basically a 7 component controller variant from this assembly with some added buttons and displays for convenient usage. [hr]
