Control sublinks (high) are artificial body parts added by the Biotech DLC. Each control sublink installed increases the number of control groups available to a mechanitor and increase the work speed of their mechs.

Acquisition

High control sublinks can be crafted at a Machining table once the High mechtech research project has been completed. They require 1 Powerfocus chip, 3 Components, 3 Advanced components, 3,200 ticks (53.33 secs) of work, and a Crafting skill of 6.

Summary

Each standard and high control sublink increases increases the number of control groups available to a mechanitor by +1 and the work speed of their mechs by +6%, up to a maximum of +6 and +36%. Up to three of each type of sublink can be installed into a mechanitor's brain. At least three standard sublinks must be installed before any high sublinks can be installed.

Control sublinks	Control groups	Work speed
0	2	+0%
1	3	+6%
2	4	+12%
3	5	+18%
4	6	+24%
5	7	+30%
6	8	+36%

Installation

Unlike most other artificial body parts, the control sublink is not installed via an operation. Instead, the selected mechanitor can be selected to use the device on themselves, consuming the item and installing it.

Analysis

High control sublinks require 3 advanced components, a limited resource before Advanced Fabrication. Use your advanced components on a fabrication bench first, so you can eventually make more of them. Making ground penetrating scanners / long-range mineral scanners and a mechband dish also tends to be higher priority than this implant.

You need 3 standard control sublinks to install the high version. Don't rush for the them, instead use the signal chips on a bandwidth pack first, as that will have a much larger impact on both combat and economic potential than +12% work speed. Similarly, a mechlord suit is a better way to spend the powerfocus chip high sublinks required. Eventually, you'll want to install all 6 control sublinks - more for the additional work speed, rather than the control groups.
