monitor and failsafe automation for your draconic reactor

what is this

this is a computercraft LUA script that monitors everything about a draconic reactor, with a couple features to help keep it from exploding NB: This is for Minecraft 1.16+. You will need to edit references within the code for any version higher to reflect any changes made to Draconic Evolution past its 1.16+ release.

tutorial

you can find a very well made youtube tutorial on how to set this up here , thank you The MindCrafters

features

• uses a 3x3 advanced computer touchscreen monitor to interact with your reactor

• automated regulation of the input gate for the targeted field strength of 50%

  • adjustable

• immediate shutdown and charge upon your field strength going below 20%

  • adjustable
  • reactor will activate upon a successful charge

• immediate shutdown when your temperature goes above 8000C

  • adjustable
  • reactor will activate upon temperature cooling down to 3000C
    • adjustable

• easily tweak your output flux gate via touchscreen buttons

  • +/-100k, 10k, and 1k increments

requirements

• one fully setup draconic reactor with fuel
• 1 advanced computer
• 9 advanced monitors
• 3 wired modems, wireless will not work
• a bunch of network cable

installation

• your reactor output flow gate must be setup so that one side of it and one of your stabilizers touches a side of the advanced computer
• by default, flow gate should touch the right side, stabilizer should touch the back of the computer
  • if you want to use different sides you need to modify startup after you have installed this and specify the sides
• connect a modem to your input flux gate (the one connected to your reactor energy injector)
• connect a modem to your advanced computer
• setup yoru monitors to be a 3x3 and connect a modem to anywhere but the front
• run network cable to all 3 modems
• install this code via running the install script using these commands :

> pastebin get 2qkBsGLm install
> install

• modify startup if you wish to configure/alter any variables mentioned in the feature list, you'll find them at the top of the file

> startup

• you should see stats in your term, and on your monitor

upgrading to the latest version

• right click your computer
• hold ctrl+t until you get a >

> install
> startup

known issues

• Computer sometimes terminates itself when traveling outside of chunk or upon world/dimension reload
• Switching from automatic to manual mode for the flow gates and adjusting the input gate will cause the gate to drastically drop the value and causing the reactor to turn critical, use a failsafe such as a redstone controlled input gate for a energy juggernaut in case of a catastrophic drop in field strenght
