Storage Controller

Theo edited this page Sep 29, 2026 · 2 revisions

Energy Drawers link to Functional Storage's Storage Controller exactly like item and fluid drawers do: with the Linking Tool.

A power room around one Storage Controller

One wall, one battery

Put a cable on the controller, and it moves energy for every Energy Drawer linked to it:

  • Energy sent into the controller fills the linked drawers.
  • Energy taken out of the controller drains them.
  • Controller Extensions work too: they lead to the same controller.

So you can cable one block instead of every drawer.

Chemicals and Source

The same works for the other drawers, with the tool their mod uses:

  • a Mekanism pressurized tube on the controller reaches every tank of every Chemical Drawers linked to it, filling the tank that already holds that chemical first;
  • an Ars Nouveau relay linked to the controller sends Source into, or takes it out of, every linked Source Drawer.

The total

Jade and The One Probe show the total of the whole network when you look at the controller. The total is counted in 64 bits, so a wall of full drawers shows what it really holds instead of stopping at 2.1 billion.

Known limit

The Storage Controller's own screen shows items and fluids, but not energy: Functional Storage builds that screen and has no place for a third kind of content. Use Jade or The One Probe to read the energy total. Chemicals and Source are not shown there either.

Mixed walls

Every drawer of this mod can share a controller with item and fluid drawers, and with each other. They count as drawers for the controller's network, and hold no items.
