	While the fail-safes are disabled, any modification can be made to the SMES, such as [[Guide_to_Construction#Advanced_Machinery\|installing coils]], regardless of the SMES' charge level. This may cause the SMES to experience system failure. The chance of system failure is equal to the charge present within the SMES (A SMES at 50% charge has a 50% chance to fail when modified).

	~~== [[File:PA_console.gif]] Particle Accelerator ==~~
	Used to start the [[Tesla Reactor]] via accelerated particles. The accelerator is limited to a strength level of 2 by default, however to start the Tesla faster, and increase its power output faster, it can be hacked to unlimit its power. Keep in mind, the PA must be set up before the computer can be hacked. For a guide to set up the PA, look here: [[Tesla Reactor#Particle Accelerator]].

	* The '''toggle wire''' will toggle the PA on or off when pulsed, if cut it will disable the PA and stop it from turning on.
	* The '''strength wire''' will increase the strength of the PA when pulsed, if cut it will toggle the strength to 0 and stop people turning it up.
	* The '''limit power wire''' will allow the PA to be turned up to strength 3 when cut. When pulsed it will beep.
	* The '''nothing wire''' will do nothing, it's just here to make life harder.
