Galactic Computers
by v1993
Galactic Computers connects OpenComputers to Galacticraft, so computers placed inside a space base can reach outside it through a sealable cable.
What it does
The mod's only addition is a Sealable Cable Block. It joins the sealed interior of a Galacticraft space base to computers outside it without letting air escape, so the base keeps its atmosphere while the computer network still runs. Players placing cable through a base wall do not need extra sealing steps beyond what the block already provides.
Galactic Computers requires Galacticraft-Legacy and OpenComputers, and both must be installed beside it. It runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need the mod. Its files target Forge 1.12.2 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2022-11-19, and the source code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source.
Key features
Sealable Cable Block
A single new block that carries OpenComputers connections through a sealed wall of a Galacticraft base.
Galacticraft integration
Computers can sit inside a Galacticraft space base while the network stays linked to the outside.
Airtight passage
The cable seals its opening like other sealable Galacticraft blocks, so the base keeps its air.
Focused scope
The mod adds no other blocks, items or screens, so it changes only the connection between the two systems.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who combine Galacticraft with OpenComputers on Forge 1.12.2, and server owners running both mods together.
How it compares
Galactic Research is open source under the MIT License, targets Forge 1.12.2 and is client and server. GalacticTweaks is open source under the MIT License, also Forge 1.12.2 and client and server. YNot is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, Forge 1.12.2, client and server. Galactic Computers is limited to one cable block, while these mods change other parts of the Galacticraft experience.

What the author says
You'll need to use adapter from OpenComputers to do so. Somewhat annoying, but that's it. All mods with exception of Galacticraft Core are optional. Feel free to ask for support for other GC addons.
