Turbine automation poll
#1
What form of turbine automation does everyone use? I very much like using the Multiplicative setup, however I see people all the time using an addition based setup and i don't know why. also commenting the reason why would also be good because it will be collective information on why you think one is better then the other.

Edit: Since there is some confusion about what each form looks like, I will include them in this post.

  1. Multiplicative:
    • This setup is made using 2 splitter components and 2 arithmetic components.
    • Splitter A is set to (rpm) and splitter B is set to (stator).
    • Splitter A goes into arithmetic A in spot A and arithmetic A is setup so A is divided
    • by B (600).
    • The result is sent to arithmetic B.
    • Splitter B is connected to arithmetic B, and the arithmetic component will multiply
    • the results of arithmetic A and splitter B, then send it back to the turbine
  2. Addition-based:
    • This setup is made with 1 splitter, 2 arithmetic and 1 counter.
    • The splitter is set to (rpm) and connected to arithmetic a under A
    • Arithmetic A is set to subtract B(600) from A then sent to arithmetic B
    • Arithmetic B is set to multiply A and B together, where one of them is from arithmetic A and another is an arbitrary number used to configure the rate of change, 500 is a common variable.
    • Once that's done it's sent to the counter component under "Change by" then sent back to the turbine.

I only figured out how to automate it a few months ago, I have no idea how the setup I use actually works I just memorized how to set it up, and it broke after they updated the nuclear engine.

But I'm pretty sure it was multiplicative

I updated to tell how each one is made for clarity

Personally i use the addition-based model because that's the one i was taught in a shift, mechcomp for the most part isn't something i want to spend my time figuring out so i just follow the steps i was taught and that's about it. Haven't tried the other one but based on the instructions in the post the addition-based one seems faster/simpler to set up.

I use the addition-based model because it's pretty close to some IRL automation I know using proportional controllers.

As you know from our IC interactions I use the addition-based variant as that was the way I was taught and it hasn’t failed me yet
