Styling Your Central Network with Mechanical Drives and Cables

Setting Up the Storage Hub

You can overhaul the high-tech appearance of your central ME network while keeping all standard machine functions intact:

1. Place down an ME Drive. Instead of a digital storage unit, the drive displays a custom 3D model styled with brass gears and clockwork mechanisms.

2. Position an Interface or a Pattern Provider next to your processing setups or network lines. These blocks adopt an industrial aesthetic that blends directly into factory environments.

Routing with Mechanical Cables

1. Run Covered Dense Cables between your central drives and outlying crafting areas to route your channels cleanly through heavy brass and copper casings.

2. Add a Toggle Bus along any cable line where you need to switch sub-networks on and off. The redesigned toggle bus provides a distinct mechanical appearance, replacing futuristic indicators with industrial visual cues while preserving identical line-switching behavior.
