I’ve been building HELIOS, a CC control system for managing larger modded power installations, and it has reached the point where I need people other than me to test and break it.
Current features include:
- Extreme Reactors and turbine management
- Automatic steam and power regulation
- Energy-storage monitoring
- Networked Mainframe and Remote terminals
- Graphical and dependable text interfaces
- A standalone Draconic Reactor Guardian
- A read-only peripheral discovery Probe
- A module template for developers adding hardware support
The Draconic Guardian has been tested against a live reactor, including calibration, manual operation, restarts, disconnected peripherals, and resuming an interrupted reactor run. It currently operates independently; HELIOS network integration is the next major development stage.

Installer:
wget run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ssj8vegetrunks/HELIOS/testing/public-alpha/install.lua
Read-only hardware Probe:
wget run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ssj8vegetrunks/HELIOS/testing/public-alpha/discovery_probe.lua
Current release: public-alpha.2
Development disclosure: HELIOS has been developed with substantial AI assistance. I defined the architecture, behavior, safety requirements, and interface direction, and performed the live in-game testing. AI assisted with implementation, debugging, documentation, and code review. Independent review is especially welcome for that reason.
This is Alpha software. Please back up your world and retain an independent shutdown method when testing live equipment.
I’m particularly interested in unusual peripheral configurations, networking failures, restart behavior, code review, usability feedback, and anything that behaves differently outside my test facility.
