The control pack is a piece of apparel added by the Biotech DLC.

Acquisition

Control pack can be crafted at a Machining table once the Basic mechtech research project has been completed. They require Steel 100 Steel, Component 6 Components, 3,200 ticks (53.33 secs) of work, and a Crafting skill of 4.

Summary

When worn in the utility slot, a control pack gives a mechanitor an extra control group, which can be configured seperately from other control groups.

Analysis

  • An additional control group can be useful. Other than convienence, an extra control group means that mechs can be ordered to do multiple tasks. For example, 3 seperate control groups can be ordered to work, remain dormant, and actively recharge at the same time.
  • Control sublinks give a permanent control group, do not take an equipment slot, and boost work speed. There is rarely a need for over 5 control groups, which can be installed with 3 standard sublinks. However, each implant requires a signal chip or powerfocus chip to create.
  • Once available, a bandwidth pack gives bandwidth, which is more helpful than a control group. Bandwidth packs also require 2 signal chips to create.
