Modules

Mother comes with many functional modules. These modules can be categorized as Core Modules and Extension Modules.

Core Modules

Core modules act as Mother's framework, enabling extension modules.

Name	Description
Activity Monitor	Monitors functional block activity across cycles to enable safeguards like stopping and locking once the activity is complete.
Almanac	Stores information about other grids running Mother including position and hostility.
Block Catalogue	Catalogues all functional blocks available on the grid for use in automations.
Command Bus	Handles commands and routines executed by a player, or remotely from another grid.
Configuration	Manages the configuration of Mother and its modules using the Programmable Block's `Custom Data`.
Event Bus	Handles system events generated by the grid or other grids running Mother. This allows Mother to remain modular and only run when something has changed via event broadcasting.
Intergrid Message Service	Handles communication between grids running Mother.
Local Storage	Allows Mother to store information across cycles, even if an error occurs or a player hits `Recompile`.
Log	Logs information about the grid and Mother's activity.
Security	Responsible for encrypting messages and and other system data.

Extension Modules

Extension modules provide additional functionality to a Space Engineer for controlling their grid. They leverage the core modules to manage activity, and cooperate with other grids running Mother.

All Blocks

Name	Description
Terminal Block	Manages terminal blocks on the grid. Commands in this module may be used on any block supported by Mother.
