Fluid Management Blocks
These blocks allow the ME Network to interact with the world and external tanks.
| Block | Function | Image |
|---|---|---|
| ME Fluid Terminal | The primary interface for viewing and manually extracting/inserting fluids using buckets. | |
| ME Fluid Storage Bus | Connects external tanks (like Iron Tanks or Bedrock Drums) to the ME Network. | |
| ME Fluid Import Bus | Pulls fluids from an adjacent tank into the ME Network. | |
| ME Fluid Export Bus | Pushes specific fluids from the ME Network into an adjacent tank. | |
| ME Fluid Interface | Acts as a buffer for fluids. Can hold up to 6 types and interact with pipes from other mods. | |
| ME Fluid Level Emitter | Emits a redstone signal when a specific fluid in the network reaches a set threshold. | |
| ME Fluid Annihilation Plane | Breaks fluid blocks in the world and sucks them into the network. | |
| ME Fluid Formation Plane | Places fluids from the network into the world as blocks. |
Advanced Automation Blocks
ME Fluid Assembler
This block is the fluid equivalent of the Molecular Assembler. It allows the ME Network to perform autocrafting recipes that involve fluids (e.g., crafting Fresh Water from Pam's Harvestcraft or filling buckets) without needing physical buckets in the system. It uses ME Fluid Patterns to define recipes.
ME Fluid Auto Filler
Automatically fills empty buckets or containers with fluids from the network. If the network contains empty buckets and water, the Auto Filler can be used to provide 'Water Buckets' on demand for crafting.
ME Item Dropper
A block that connects to the ME Network and drops items into the world when it receives a redstone pulse. The item to be dropped is configured in the block's GUI.
ME Backup Battery
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for the ME Network. It stores a large amount of AE energy and ensures the network stays online if the main power source fails.
Storage Infrastructure
Blast Resistant ME Drive
A reinforced version of the ME Drive. It is completely immune to TNT and Creeper explosions, protecting your valuable storage cells. To balance this, it only contains 3 slots for storage cells instead of the standard 10.
Certus Quartz Tank
A multi-block capable fluid tank. Each block holds 32 buckets (32,000 mB). They can be stacked vertically to create a single large tank. If broken with a wrench, the tank retains its fluid.
ME Drive Fixture
A compact, wall-mounted version of the ME Drive. It can be placed on the side of a cable like a terminal. It holds 6 storage cells and is ideal for small sub-networks or aesthetic storage rooms.
Wireless and Portable Tools
Wireless Fluid Terminal
Allows remote access to the fluids in your ME Network. It must be linked to an ME Security Terminal and requires Wireless Access Points to function. It consumes energy from an internal battery which can be charged in an AE2 Charger.
Wireless Universal Terminal
An all-in-one tool that combines the Wireless Item Terminal, Wireless Fluid Terminal, and Wireless Gas Terminal. Users can switch between modes using a keybind (default 'Shift + Mouse Wheel').
Portable Fluid Storage
A handheld device that acts like a portable tank and an ME Terminal. You can fill it by placing it in an ME Drive or by right-clicking fluid blocks. It allows you to carry and place fluids manually anywhere in the world.
Recipes and Crafting
Most ExtraCells 2 recipes follow the standard AE2 progression, requiring a Pattern Terminal or Molecular Assembler.
