The '''control pack''' is a [[utility]] item added by the [[Biotech DLC]] that increases the number of [[Mechanitor#Mechanoid Control|control group]]s a [[mechanitor]] has.

== Acquisition ==
Control pack can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

== Summary ==
When worn, a control pack gives a [[mechanitor]] an extra [[Mechanitor#Mechanoid Control|control group]], which can be configured separately from other control groups. They have no [[quality]].

{{Utility Note}}

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1}}
* An additional control group can be useful. Other than convenience, an extra control group means that mechs can be ordered to do multiple tasks. For example, 3 separate control groups can be ordered to work, remain dormant, and actively recharge at the same time.
* [[Control sublink]]s give a permanent control group, do not take an equipment slot, and boost work speed. There is rarely a need for over 5 control groups, which can be installed with 3 standard sublinks. However, each implant requires a [[signal chip]] or [[powerfocus chip]] to create.
* Once available, a [[bandwidth pack]] gives [[bandwidth]], which is more helpful than a control group. Bandwidth packs also require 2 [[signal chip]]s to create.

== Version history ==
* [[Biotech DLC]] Release - Added.
