+      I don't know if you're trained already, so I hope this'll help.
+      AME controller needs LV power and an HV wire to output to. Check the area with a crowbar if you aren't sure.
+      There should be an empty room next to where you found this, that room's wired for the AME.
+      You can put an AME anywhere if you can get the wires to it, though.
+      3x3 grid of AME parts, multitool them to unpack. Be careful not to 'trap' anything.
+      AME controller adjacent horizontally or vertically (not diagonally) to any point.
+      With only 1 core (what a 3x3 grid will get you), don't turn it up above 2.
+      The golden rule is 2 injection for every 1 core. You can go lower to save fuel.
+      Higher will burn the engine out and eventually make it explode. Don't.
+      Don't forget to refuel it, it tends to stop at the worst possible time.
