Digitally transfer items via the circuit network
About
Storage Energistics(SE) adds new item storage and transportation mechanics which utilize the circuit network as a delivery medium.
Items are moved directly between connected nodes(chests), expending power in the process. Transportation is not limited by distance, however larger distances require increasing power.
Network Power requires conditioning and is not pulled directly from the electricity grid. Energy buffers must be placed and connected to the circuit network to provide the required power.
Item transfers are coordinated and controlled by a Network Controller. A minimum of one controller is required per network. Additional controllers provide no inherit benefits but can be used to share power between distinct networks.
Devices can be connected to both a red and green network. This allows that device to share its contents with, or request items from, either network.
Items can be provided to, or requested from, the logistics network via purpose-made chests.
FAQ
- Is this intended to be a bot network replacement?
Not exactly, while it can largely replace the logistics network, it can not fully replace it, and is designed to work with it.
- How can I see all the items in the network?
The easiest way is to press N(default) to open the overview window. You can also mouse over a power pole that is carrying the network to see the signal counts.
