Component Bus

The Component Bus is a type of component from OpenComputers. It serves a purpose similar to that of a Central Processing Unit (CPU) in that it increases the number of components a computer can handle, but it must be installed in addition to a CPU and cannot run a computer on its own. Currently the only type of computer that supports Component Buses is the Server.

Tooltip Description

This expansion allows servers to communicate with more components at the same time, similar to how CPUs do.

Manual Entry

A Component Bus is a server-specific upgrade that allows the server to communicate with more components at the same time, without shutting down. Like with CPUs, higher tier buses provide higher component limits.
