Refined StorageSimpler alternative to AE2 — FE-powered ME-style network, no channels
About
The AE2 alternative many players prefer for its simpler infrastructure. Same idea — disks of items, terminals to access, auto-crafting via Crafter blocks — but powered by Forge Energy (no Energy Cells needed; runs off any FE source). No channels means you can branch cables arbitrarily. Lower throughput than AE2 at top tier, but vastly simpler to design.
Things to do
- Controller + Disk Drive + 4× 1k Disks + Grid → first network
- Crafter blocks for auto-crafting (drop in patterns)
- External Storage for any chest → network-visible without disks
- Wireless Grid for portable terminal access
Getting started
Need Quartz Enriched Iron + Silicon (basic recipes). RS infrastructure is cheaper than AE2 to bootstrap; pair with Crafter for auto-crafting.
