Controller

Controller is a compact electronic component used to operate and manage other electronic devices. In all available localization descriptions it is defined as a small electronic device whose purpose is to control electronics or electrical appliances.

The item functions as a generic control module rather than as a source of power or a standalone appliance. It exists in the game's item list as a modular piece intended to interface with other electronic systems; its primary role is to enable automated or manual control of circuitry and electronic apparatus.

• Function: acts as a control interface for electronics and electrical devices.
• Form: described uniformly as a small, handheld or mountable electronic device (compact module).
• Scope: intended for use wherever the game requires a discrete control element to operate other electronic items or systems.
• Localization: the same concise definition appears across multiple languages, confirming that its role is limited to control rather than power generation, storage, or heavy machinery operation.

Practical notes for players: keep Controller items available when building or modifying electronic setups that require a distinct control component. Because descriptions emphasize size and purpose, Controllers are suited to installations where a minimal footprint controller is necessary. Replace or install Controllers when an electronic device in your setup lacks a dedicated control module to restore intended functionality.
