Refined Storage Mixin Mod FAQ

Check your mod list — it should show as loaded alongside Refined Storage. Then watch your server tick time or MSPT while a large network is running; if the numbers drop compared to before, the mixin is doing its job.

It works with default settings as soon as it loads. The config is only there if you want to tune update speeds or lazy energy behavior for your specific setup.

Machine parts that aren't doing anything get put into a sleeping state so they stop ticking every game tick. As soon as they have work to do, they wake up and resume normally.

No. Active importers and crafters keep moving items at full speed — only parts with nothing to do go to sleep. If a machine has a job, it stays awake.

Lazy energy changes how often the game recalculates power consumption instead of doing it constantly. Your network still uses the same energy overall, it's just counted less frequently to save performance.

The mixin reduces update overhead but can't fix everything — check for other causes like too many active crafters, huge numbers of importers running at once, or other mods adding their own tick load. You can also lower update speeds in the config to squeeze out more performance.

Yes, that's one of its main fixes. It stops the errors that happen when map chunks with Refined Storage parts unload, which is a common crash source in big bases.

Yes, it specifically fixes wire connection bugs that occur when Refined Storage and EnderIO conduits are used together. You don't need to do anything special — just have both mods installed.

Generally yes, since it only changes how parts update rather than adding or removing content. If another add-on also overrides the same update behavior, you may need to test and adjust config settings.

It tells the mod to ignore Refined Storage parts in chunks that aren't currently loaded, so the game doesn't waste time ticking them. It's safe — when the chunk loads again, everything resumes normally.
