How exactly would I get a monitor [touch screen] to display and control a nuclear reactor and such from industrial craft 2?

Well first, you'd need something to be able to wrap that machine as a peripheral. I suggest openperipheral. After that, you'd be able to wrap it directly, then output the data directly to your monitor program.

LoneWolf, you may want to search the forums for any programs that already do what you want. Otherwise, you'll need to write a program yourself to do what you want, and if you're not understanding, it's going to be a while before you get that program up to how you want it.

Learning isnt done over night. I do have a basic understanding of LUA its just I am not sure how to wrap a machine as a peripheral other then the monitor its self… and I've been searching the forums for it lol.
