Refined Storage Mod — Guide
Getting Started
To begin with Refined Storage, you must first gather specific materials to build the core components of your network.
Essential Resources
- Quartz Enriched Iron: The primary building material for most RS blocks. Created by combining 3 Iron Ingots and 1 Nether Quartz in a crafting table.
- Silicon: Obtained by smelting Nether Quartz in a furnace.
- Processor Binding: Crafted using 1 Slimeball and 1 String. This is used to create Raw Processors.
- Processors: The "chips" used in advanced recipes. There are three tiers: Basic (Iron), Improved (Gold), and Advanced (Diamond). To make them, craft a Raw Processor (Binding + Silicon + Redstone + Ingredient) and smelt it in a furnace.
The First Network
A minimal functioning network requires: * Controller: The heart of the system. It requires FE/RF power to function. * Disk Drive: A block that holds Storage Disks. * Storage Disk: The actual storage medium (e.g., 1k Storage Disk). * Grid: The interface used to see and interact with your items. * Cables: Used to connect blocks if they are not placed directly adjacent to each other.
