gollark: No idea, but it'd be cool.
gollark: I'm considering somehow coordinating it with the *other* reactor which burns TBU oxide.
gollark: Otherwise it turns off.
gollark: Basically, the top one transmits the powercell's fullness level (obtained via a computercraft thing since comparators appear to not work) and the bottom one receives that, reads the reactor's buffer level (it was meant to be heat but somehow I just get the RF output buffer level), and if the powercell is below full and the buffer empty it turns the reactor on.
gollark: Some screenshots of the controllers.
