Applied Flux Wiki & Guide

Craft a 1k ME Energy Storage Component and combine it with an ME FE Storage Cell to make your first 1k ME FE Storage Cell, then place it in an ME Drive or ME Chest so your AE2 network can store FE. You'll need Charged Redstone Crystals and an Energy Processor first, so set up an Inscriber Energy Press before anything else.

The component is the intermediate crafting item that determines capacity, while the FE Storage Cell is the finished item you actually put into an ME Drive or ME Chest. You always craft the component first, then combine it with the appropriate housing to get the usable cell.

Put an Induction Card into a wireless terminal or compatible AE2 device and it will wirelessly charge FE-powered items in your inventory from your ME network's stored energy. Make sure your network actually has FE stored in Applied Flux cells, otherwise there's nothing to draw from.

The most common causes are an empty ME network (no FE stored), the card not being installed in a wireless terminal, or being out of range of the network's wireless access point. Check that your ME FE Storage Cells actually hold charge and that you're within wireless range.

The Flux Accessor lets you interact with Applied Flux energy storage directly, acting as an interface between your FE storage and machines or cables that need FE. Place it against the block or network you want to draw from or feed into.

Portable FE Cells store FE in item form so you can carry energy with you and discharge it into machines or your inventory items while away from base. Right-click or use them in a charger to move the stored FE where you need it.

Diamond Dust and Emerald Dust are produced by grinding the respective gems, and Charged Redstone Crystals come from processing redstone through the Energy Processor line. Automate this with the Inscriber Energy Press and the appropriate processing chain so you don't run out mid-craft.

The Energy Processor is a core crafting component required for most Applied Flux cells, components, and the Induction Card. You'll need a steady supply, so set up automated production rather than crafting them one at a time.

Yes, ME FE Storage Cells are designed to slot into standard AE2 ME Drives and ME Chests just like regular storage cells. This means you can mix FE storage and item storage in the same drive array.

Performance depends mostly on how many cells and how much FE throughput you're pushing through the network, not the mod itself. Large numbers of active portable cells or Flux Accessors constantly transferring energy can add tick load, so keep an eye on chunk activity if you build big.
