title: Accelerator Controller
id: oritech:accelerator_controller
type: block
---

The particle accelerator controller is the entry point for particles. Items inserted into this block are turned into particles.
Collision results can be collected from the output slot.

A straight [guide ring](@oritech:accelerator_ring) needs to be placed right behind the controller, facing to the side,
with visuals aligning correctly. Any item can be inserted into the controller to be used as a particle.

Once inserted, the particle travels along a route defined by the guide rings.

For detailed information on particle acceleration mechanics, see the [particle accelerator guide]($particle_accelerator).
