Sensors
Sensors
This mod allows you to craft sensors of various types, and apply them to objects to initiate an automatic action.
Examples:
- You can add a light sensor to a lamp so that it turns on automatically during night. Using sensors will allow you to conserve energy. If you you Immersive Solar Arrays, the efficiency of your setup will be improved greatly Additionally you will extend lifetime of your bulbs.
- You can add a proximity sensor to a gate so that it opens when player is near. This way you do not need to exit your car to open or close the gate
This mod is under development and there will be more sensors and objects they can interact with.

Using Sensors
- You will need to find "Electronic Magaize vol 5 – Sensors" and read it to unlock recipe for all sensor types
- Craft a sensor of any type with 2 electronic scrap and glue. You will need to have at least electric skill level 2
- Click on the object you want to add sensor to, and select "Add Sensor" option
- If you want to remove the sensor, simply select "Remove Sensor" option.
Adjusting Sensors
To adjust sensor settings such a sensitivity, you will need to use a desktop computer. You must subscribe to "The Computer" mod. Turn on the computer and right click on computer keyboard, an option to reprogram the sensor will be available.
You can check "invert" to invert the threshold rule.
Bugs
- If you you pick up the object you will lose a sensor. Remove it first, move object and add sensor again.
- Metalgate only opens, it does not close for some reason
