Description

The Better Future Block Controller Switch is a grade 1 Accessory block manufactured by Better Future. Like all Better Future blocks, it can be crafted with a Better Future Fabricator.

It has 5 attachment point(s) and takes up 1 cell(s).

Usage

Better Future Block Controller Switch allows to toggle up to 4 preset systems.

• Repair bubbles
• Shield bubbles
• Anti-gravity engines - it helps to park fully AG-techs or conserve the energy (there is rarely a need to turn off AG while in motion).
• Hover Engines - as an alternative to Hover Power Controller. Controller Switches also have a peculiar ability to remember Hover Power Controllers power setting, even when all Controllers are removed from the tech.

It will highlight controlled systems on its face panel.

Since simultaneous re-activation of both projectors types will delay each other it is helpful to activate one type of bubbles after the other while keeping them separate on different Controllers to avoid micro. It also would help to avoid wasting energy to keep up the shields against miniguns, who are better countered by a block-based armor backed up by repair bubbles, etc.
