Omni Cells FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I make my first Omni storage cell?
Craft an Omni Series cell using the mod's recipes, then place it in an ME Drive or other AE2 storage device just like a normal storage cell. The Omni Series holds 63 types of mixed items and fluids, making it a good starting point before upgrading to larger capacities.
Can I really store items and fluids in the same cell?
Yes, that's the core feature of Omni Cells—any cell can hold items, fluids, and other resources simultaneously without needing separate drives. The cell type you choose only determines how many different types it can store, not what kinds of resources.
What's the difference between Omni Series and Complex Omni Series?
Omni Series always holds exactly 63 types regardless of size, while Complex Omni Series increases its type limit as the cell tier gets larger, ranging from 12 types in smaller cells up to 6400 types in the biggest versions. Choose Complex Omni if you need to store many different resource types.
How do I set up a cell to only accept certain items?
Place your storage cell and a Type Fuzzy Card into the Cell Workbench, then mark the specific items you want to accept. The cell will then reject everything else, acting as a whitelist filter for those resources.
How do I make a blacklist cell that rejects specific items?
Use the Cell Workbench with a Type Fuzzy Card and an Inverter Card together—mark the items you want to block, and the Inverter Card flips it into a blacklist so the cell accepts everything except those marked items.
What's the Nuclear Waste Storage cell for?
The Nuclear Waste Storage cell is a dedicated container for spent nuclear waste and dangerous chemicals, preventing them from clogging up your regular mixed-storage drives. It stops waste from being accepted by normal cells by default.
Do Omni Cells work with my existing AE2 setup?
Yes, Omni cells are designed as a drop-in addon for Applied Energistics 2 and work with all standard AE2 storage devices and networks. They follow normal AE2 mechanics and integrate seamlessly with your existing system.
What happens if another mod updates and breaks an item I stored?
Omni Cells saves your item data in your world folder rather than on the cell itself, so broken items stay safely in the system and won't disappear if a mod updates or removes an item.
Can I carry my storage with me using portable cells?
Yes, the mod includes portable versions for every cell size, letting you take your mixed storage anywhere you go without needing to access a full ME system.
What are crafting storage blocks and why would I use them?
Crafting storage blocks combine storage capacity with co-processors in a single block, letting you store resources and perform crafting operations without needing separate blocks. They're useful for compact base designs that need both functions in one space.
