Extra Cells 2 Mod — Guide
Storage Cells and Components
Extra Cells 2 significantly expands the storage tiers available in AE2. These cells follow the standard AE2 mechanic where higher tiers store more data but are more expensive to craft.
ME Item Storage Cells
These cells are used in an ME Drive or ME Chest to store items. They provide significantly higher capacity than the standard 64k cell.
| Tier | Capacity (Items) | Components Required |
|---|---|---|
| 256k | 262,144 | 3x 64k Components + Processor |
| 1024k | 1,048,576 | 3x 256k Components + Processor |
| 4096k | 4,194,304 | 3x 1024k Components + Processor |
| 16384k | 16,777,216 | 3x 4096k Components + Processor |
ME Fluid Storage Cells
Fluid cells store liquids measured in buckets (1,000 mB). Unlike item cells, fluid cells in EC2 typically store up to 5 different types of fluids per cell.
| Tier | Capacity (Buckets) | Max Fluid Types |
|---|---|---|
| 1k | 1,024 | 5 |
| 4k | 4,096 | 5 |
| 16k | 16,384 | 5 |
| 64k | 65,536 | 5 |
| 256k | 262,144 | 5 |
| 1024k | 1,048,576 | 5 |
| 4096k | 4,194,304 | 5 |
Storage Housings
- Fluid Storage Housing: Used to house Fluid Storage Components. It is visually distinct with blue accents.
- Advanced Storage Housing: A reinforced housing used for the highest tiers of item storage components (256k+).
Mechanics and Integration
Fluid Patterns
ME Fluid Patterns are used to encode fluid-based recipes. By clicking a fluid in the Fluid Terminal with a blank pattern, you create an encoded pattern that tells the ME Network how to handle that specific liquid in automation.
Gas Support
If Mekanism is installed, Extra Cells 2 automatically provides a suite of gas-handling blocks: * ME Gas Terminal * ME Gas Import/Export/Storage Buses * ME Gas Storage Cells (1k to 4096k) * Wireless Gas Terminal
Energy Consumption
Extra Cells 2 components consume AE power (AE/t) like standard AE2 parts. Wireless terminals require charging in an ME Charger or compatible energy cell and must be linked to an ME Security Terminal to function across the network.
