Reactor Control

-- 1. Wrap the reactor peripheral

-- 2. Main loop
while true do
  -- Retrieve energy data
  local energyStored = reactor.getEnergyStored()        -- Current energy in the internal buffer
  local maxEnergy = reactor.getEnergyCapacity() or 10000000 -- hypothetical max; adjust if the API differs
  local energyPercent = (energyStored / maxEnergy) * 100

  -- Retrieve some optional data (depends on the mod’s API)
  local isActive = reactor.getActive()

  local fuelTemp = reactor.getFuelTemperature()         -- in degrees (if available)

  -- Simple logic: if energy is almost full, turn reactor off; if low, turn it on
  if energyPercent > 90 then
