How to Use AE2 Extras Portable Cells for On-the-Go Storage

What Portable Cells Do

Portable Item Cells and Portable Fluid Cells from AE2 Extras act like a backpack tied to your ME network. You can carry them in your inventory, fill them from your network, and later dump their contents back — perfect for mining trips or exploring far from base.

Setting Up a Portable Cell

1. Craft a Portable Item Cell or Portable Fluid Cell at the tier you can afford.

2. Place it in your inventory and right-click to open its interface.

3. With the cell in your hand, shift-right-click or use the interface buttons to pull items/fluids from a connected ME network, or push contents back.

4. Use the cell's own storage view to withdraw specific stacks while away from base.

Best Practices

• Charge the cell's internal energy if the tier requires it; a drained cell won't transfer.
• Partition the cell first if you only want it to accept certain items, so it doesn't fill with junk.
• Pair a Portable Item Cell with a Portable Fluid Cell for long expeditions — one for loot, one for lava or water.
• Remember Mono portable variants exist if you want a dedicated bulk carrier for a single resource.
