Introduction

Most machines in the mod are provided 'as is' with a limited user interface. It's up to you to program and interconnect them to make the most of it. To this effect, an extensive API is provided for use in your ComputerCraft or OpenComputers LUA scripts.

Generalities

Basic programs are provided with most blocks, they're usually more up-to-date than this wiki, so you might want to start there. As a server/modpack owner, you may disable the default scripts and provide them through other means like a floppy, check the mod's configuration.

Warning: method and properties written in italic* are deprecated and subject to change.
