so i have the computercraft mod and buildcraft, im just starting out and dont know the basics of lua. i wanted to run things like my buildcraft quarry, power-generator's, oil refineries ect. my basic concept is, if the stirling or combustion engins start to over heat the program will shut them down and pump large amounts of water to them. it will also control the oil refineries output. if we are makeing more fuel then we can use then it will slow down the process or stop it. same for the quarries, all of this powered by 7-10 computers with 7-10 floppy disks of course. i would like to post again later to show my progress up until the final product, a fully automated buildcraft system. all including an automatic coal block feeder, the coal blocks are there because they last longer in the striling engins then coal. and thats all i have planned right now so, im dinodude15, cya later with progress made.

If you wanted to do everything you listed you'd have to install OpenPeripheral.

Alternatively you could have a monitor with various switches on it.
