Reactor Logistics Network (RL)

Why use the RL network?

Managing reactors manually is tedious and dangerous — refueling a fission or MS reactor exposes you to radiation. The RL network automates everything: refueling, waste extraction, temperature monitoring, and control rod management.

Network Components

Component	Role
RL Controller	The brain of the network. Only one per network. Consumes 5 kW @ 120 V. Enables communication between all modules.
RL Logistics Cable	Connects all components. Shielded fiber optic — no energy loss over distance.
Fission Interface	Replaces the control rod under the fission reactor. Allows the network to interact with the core.
Fusion Interface	Placed under the fusion reactor. Same role as the fission interface.
MS Interface	Replaces the MS control rod on the MS reactor.
Control Rod Module	Remote control for the control rod. Supports redstone (signal 15 = 100% insertion). One per reactor.
Monitor Module	Displays reactor info remotely. Multiple monitors can be linked to the same reactor.
Thermometer Module	Monitors temperature and emits a redstone signal. Modes: Constant or Progressive. Invertible.
Supply Module	Refuels the reactor (top 9 slots) and extracts waste (bottom 9 slots). Also handles tritium production.

Link GUI

Each module must be linked to a reactor interface. To access the linking menu:

It is either the only option in the module interface
Or accessible via the linking tab within the interface

Select the interface from the list, then press Activate to link. Press Deactivate to unlink.

Connection Loss

If the RL controller loses power, modules retain their links but can no longer communicate with each other. Communication resumes as soon as the controller is repowered.

Thermometer Module — Signal Modes

Mode	Behavior
Constant	Signal 15 when temp ≥ target, signal 0 otherwise (invertible)
Progressive	Signal 0→15 proportional to temp/target (invertible)
