I wish for a better and seperated PID control
From my understanding, the "responsiveness" is controlling the proportional parameter and intergral parameter, the "smoothing" is controlling the derivative parameter.
But there are two problems:
1. The two slide bars are managing all the valves and gears all together, I cannot individually set the controlling parameters of each part.
2. The P and I parameters are managed together, not seperatedly, that I can not directly sign an estimated ideal input to the control objective.

I know that applying a fully customizable PID controller to every part is too bulky to both the majority player experience and the UI itself. But I hope I can set an "default value" to every control objective, which refers to that the default valve value or position at the marker marked output or the ideal generator speed, or aka. the setpoint of the input value, that supposing the "I" and "D" have not been involved yet, the controller would set the controlled part to this default value purely from "P" control.

That's a great idea and would put me sink hours into this sim...just for fine-tuning the PID's.
As a Stormworks player, I like fine-tuning PID's until perfection :-)
