Automated reactor

This project will demonstrate using a Microcontroller to automate a singular Reactor using Polysilicon and Dispenser. While the model only contains one reactor, the code should be able to handle more reactors provided you set them up correctly. Note: If you are using this in survival, make sure to implement a system to collect the Plutonium / Uranium that will spawn out the back of the reactors.

Special configurations:

• Microcontroller: StartOnSpawn is true
• Dispenser: Filter is Uranium

local TARGET_TEMPERATURE = 1000
local REFUEL_THRESHOLD = 0.5

for _, port in Network:GetPorts() do
	local subnet = Network:GetSubnet(port)
	local dispenser = subnet:GetPart("Dispenser")
	local reactor = subnet:GetPart("Reactor")
	local poly = subnet:GetPart("Polysilicon")

	if not reactor then
		warn("no reactor on port " .. port.PortID)
	elseif not dispenser then
		warn("no dispenser on port " .. port.PortID)
	elseif not poly then
		warn("no polysilicon on port " .. port.PortID)
		continue
	end

	-- connect to .Loop event (fires when the reactor gets updated by the game)
	reactor.Loop:Connect(function()
		local temperature = reactor:GetTemp()

		-- temperature regulation
		if temperature < TARGET_TEMPERATURE then
			poly.PolysiliconMode = "Deactivate"
			poly.Frequency = 3 -- trigger it three times
			poly:Trigger()
		elseif temperature > TARGET_TEMPERATURE then
			poly.PolysiliconMode = "Activate"
			poly.Frequency = 3 -- trigger it three times
			poly:Trigger()
		end

		local shouldDispense = false

		-- check if reactor needs refueling
		for _, fuel in reactor:GetFuel() do
			-- if it's already empty, dispense immediately
			if fuel <= 0 then
				shouldDispense = true
				break
			end

			-- if it's less than the threshold, trigger polysilicon on flip-flop mode to eject waste
			if fuel <= REFUEL_THRESHOLD then
				poly.PolysiliconMode = "FlipFlop"
				poly.Frequency = 1 -- trigger it once
				poly:Trigger()
			end
		end

		if shouldDispense then
			dispenser:Dispense()
			shouldDispense = false -- make sure we don't keep dispensing every tick
		end
	end)
end
