Sensor Kits and Cards
Sensor Kits are one-time use items used to link a machine to a Sensor Card. Once a kit is used on a block, it yields a card encoded with that block's coordinates.
| Kit Name | Target Block | Resulting Card |
|---|---|---|
| Remote Sensor Kit | Nuclear Reactor / Chamber | Reactor Sensor Card |
| Energy Sensor Kit | MFE, MFSU, CESU, BatBox | Energy Sensor Card |
| Liquid Sensor Kit | IC2 Tanks, Railcraft Tanks | Liquid Sensor Card |
| Energy Array Sensor Kit | Multiple Energy Blocks | Energy Array Card |
Card Types
- Reactor Sensor Card: Displays current heat, maximum heat, and the reactor's On/Off status.
- Energy Sensor Card: Displays current EU stored, maximum capacity, and the fill percentage.
- Liquid Sensor Card: Displays the amount of fluid (mB) and the type of fluid in a tank.
- Text Card: A manual card where players can type custom messages to appear on Information Panels.
- Time Card: Displays the current Minecraft world time (Digital or Analog format).
- Counter Sensor Card: Used with the Average Counter block to track EU/tick flow over time.
Mechanics and Automation
The Monitoring Loop
To set up a basic automated safety system, follow these steps: 1. Place a Thermal Monitor against your Nuclear Reactor. 2. Set the threshold to a safe level (e.g., 2000 degrees). 3. Run a redstone wire from the Thermal Monitor to the reactor itself (or a toggle latch). When the heat hits 2000, the monitor will emit redstone, turning the reactor off. 4. Use a Remote Sensor Kit on the reactor to get a Reactor Sensor Card. 5. Place an Industrial Information Panel in your control room and insert the card. 6. If the panel is too far away, place the card in a Remote Sensor Station near the reactor and put Range Upgrades in the panel.
Energy Array Monitoring
The Energy Array Sensor Kit allows for the monitoring of up to 6 energy storage blocks simultaneously. By clicking multiple blocks with the kit before crafting the card, the Information Panel will display the aggregate energy of the entire power bank.
