As all non-[[Tunneler]] laborer mechs have a base Global Work Speed of 50%, this boost is relatively higher than it seems. For example, 4 sublinks with no other factors turns 50% work speed into 74% workspeed; a {{Good|x148%}} increase.

Unlike most other artificial body parts, the control sublink is not installed via an [[operation]]. Instead, the selected mechanitor can be selected to use the device on themselves, consuming the item and installing it.

High control sublinks require 3 [[advanced component]]s per implant, which are a limited resource before [[Research#Advanced fabrication|Advanced Fabrication]]. Use your advanced components on a [[fabrication bench]] first, so you can eventually make more of them. Making [[ground penetrating scanner]]s / [[long-range mineral scanner]]s and a [[mechband dish]] also tends to be higher priority than this implant.

Don't rush for the them, instead use the signal chips on a [[bandwidth pack]] first as that will have a much larger impact on both combat and economic potential than {{+|12%}} work speed. Eventually you will want all 6 though more for the additional work speed than the control groups, but that can come later.
You need 3 standard control sublinks to install the high sublinks. You may want to use the [[signal chip]]s the standard sublinks require on a [[bandwidth pack]] first however. The extra mechs from the worst-case 30% increase in bandwidth will have a much larger impact on both combat and economic potential than {{+|12%}} work speed. Best-case, it is a 150% ''increase''. Similarly, a [[mechlord suit]] is usually better way to spend the powerfocus chip that high sublinks require. The extra mechs do come at cost of additional outlay, [[power]], and [[pollution]] however.
 
 
 
Eventually, you'll want to install all 6 control sublinks - more for the additional work speed, rather than the control groups. A few extra control subgroups can be helpful, but you'll rarely need more than 4.
