Applied Energistics Network Components

An ME Network is assembled from a set of core blocks and cables that coordinate storage, power, and connectivity.

• ME Controller: The central hub that coordinates the network and distributes power to all connected components. A network is organized around the controller.
• ME Drive: A block that holds multiple storage cells, making their contents part of the network.
• ME Chest: A single-cell storage block that also provides direct access to the items stored inside it.
• ME Cable and ME Covered Cable: The connection infrastructure that links blocks together into one network.
• ME Interface, Import Bus, and Export Bus: Connectivity blocks that move items between the network and external inventories or machines, importing resources in and exporting them out.
• Energy Cell and ME Power Relay: Blocks for storing buffered power and distributing energy through the network.

When these are joined by cable around a powered controller, they form a unified system that can be expanded as the player's needs grow.
