Create: Factory Controller
by nbcss
With Create: Factory Controller, a single block can stand in for a wall of factory gauges, giving Create logistics a central dashboard for managing them.
What it does
A factory controller holds a network of Create factory gauges and exposes them on one virtual dashboard. Players can place gauges through the controller, tune new gauges to match existing ones, select several gauges at once and save setups as blueprints. Item count labels can be viewed for all gauges together, and the controller can be disabled with a redstone signal. Existing gauge walls can be imported into a controller, and individual connection arrows can have their bending path changed.
Because it reproduces the vanilla factory gauge logic rather than altering it, the mod leaves stock gauge behavior untouched. Gauges placed through a factory controller receive the mod's extra functions, while ordinary gauges do not. Display Link can read information from the setup, and items added by other mods are only covered after explicit support is written for them. Create is required, and Create: Deployer API is optional. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and both the server and every player need it. Its source code is open source under the MIT License, and public links to the source, issue tracker and wiki are available.

How it compares
Create Factory Logistics is a separate Forge and NeoForge option for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, running client and server, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Create: Extra Gauges also runs client and server on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is open source under the MIT License, adding extra gauge types rather than a controller. Create: Better Factory Gauge targets NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and is open source under the MIT License.
