[[File:AutomaticReactor2.png|right|frameless]]
Automatic Reactor is a term used for [[Reactor|reactors]] which are regulated through mechanisms rather than the player. They are necessary for feasible multi-reactor power systems.
There are two mechanisms per reactor, one for managing temperature, the other for dispensing uranium when it runs out. Rod control is achieved through temperature sensors, which read the reactor's temperature when attached to it, and sends signals when it moves out of range. When used with polysilicons, the signals can be used to lower or raise the control rods.
A sensor set to 20:1000 that sends signals through a pink polysilicon (Mode 0) will lower the rods, decreasing temperature. The opposite can be done with a blue polysilicon (Mode 1) and a 1001:1300 temperature range, which will raise them instead.
Additionally,
To refill a reactor, you need to attach a microcontroller to the dispenser and the reactor using ports. The code will use port ID 1 to read the reactor's fuel status, and port ID 2 to control the dispenser.<syntaxhighlight lang="lua" line="1">
▲Additionally, put a mode 2 polysilicon along with a button so you can manually eject fuel from the reactor.
local reactor = GetPartFromPort(1, "Reactor")
local dispenser = GetPartFromPort(2, "Dispenser")

end
