Applied Energistics Mod Wiki & Guide
Applied Energistics is a storage and automation mod built around an ME Network that converts items into digital energy for compact storage, retrieval, and on-demand autocrafting.
Overview
Applied Energistics is a technology mod centered on the ME Network, a system whose name refers to the conversion of Matter to and from Energy. Items added to the system are converted into a digital energy form and stored, then reconstructed into physical items on demand when the player or a machine requests them.
This approach replaces rows of physical chests with a compact, searchable digital storage system. A single network can hold enormous quantities of many different item types, and players interact with it through terminals that let them search, withdraw, and deposit items from one interface. Beyond storage, the network supports powerful automation, including request-driven autocrafting and integration with external machines and item transport.
Applied Energistics requires power to operate and draws on a range of energy types, accepting EU, RF, and MJ. If the network's main power supply is interrupted the system becomes inaccessible until power is restored, so backup power is recommended for important setups.
