Tom's Simple Storage Mod FAQ

12 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I connect a chest to the storage network?
Place an Inventory Interface against the chest, then run Inventory Cable from the Interface to your Storage Terminal. The Interface exposes the attached inventory to the network.
How do I craft an Inventory Cable?
Inventory Cable is made through a crafting recipe and is used to link network blocks together. Run it between your Storage Terminal, Inventory Interface, and other network components.
What does the Inventory Connector do?
The Inventory Connector joins separate runs of Inventory Cable so the network can span gaps or corners. There is also a Framed variant, Inventory Cable Connector (Framed), for cosmetic builds.
How do I use the Storage Terminal?
Place a Storage Terminal and connect it to your network with Inventory Cable. Interacting with it opens the network's combined inventory so you can deposit and withdraw items.
How do I link a Wireless Terminal to my network?
Craft a Wireless Terminal and use it while connected to your network so it binds to that network. After binding, you can open the network inventory remotely with the Wireless Terminal.
What is the Advanced Wireless Terminal?
The Advanced Wireless Terminal is a higher-tier wireless access item for the network. It functions like the Wireless Terminal but is obtained through a smithing_transform recipe.
How do I craft items directly from the network?
Use a Crafting Terminal connected to your network with Inventory Cable. It provides a crafting grid that pulls ingredients directly from the network's stored inventories.
What does the Basic Inventory Hopper do?
The Basic Inventory Hopper is a network block that moves items between inventories on the network. Place it and connect it with Inventory Cable to include it in the network.
How do I use the Paint Kit?
The Paint Kit is used to apply cosmetic coloring to network blocks such as cables and connectors. Apply it to a placed block to change its appearance.
What is the Inventory Configurator for?
The Inventory Configurator is a tool used to configure network blocks in place. Use it on cables, connectors, and interfaces to adjust their settings.
How do Item Filters work?
Item Filter, Tag Item Filter, and Polymorphic Item Filter are filter items placed into network blocks to control which items pass or are stored. Each filter type matches items by different criteria.
What are the Open Crate, Filing Cabinet, Level Emitter, Inventory Proxy, and Inventory Trim used for?
Open Crate, Filing Cabinet, Level Emitter, Inventory Proxy, and Inventory Trim are all network blocks placed and connected via Inventory Cable. Each serves a distinct role in the storage network, such as storage, item handling, or redstone signaling.
