Network Controller

Coordinates communication between storage network devices via the circuit network. When connected to both a red and green network, power requests from one can be satisfied by the other.


Energy Buffer

Provides high frequency power, 162.9GHz, to storage network devices. When in range of the electric grid, charges until full. When any device requests power for a transfer the buffer will provide that power, if possible, from its internal charge.


Storage Chests

Provides items to the storage network, and stores pushed items.

High Capacity Storage

Exposes its contents to the network, and receives items pushed into network. Can be marked as read-only which prevents the network from storing new items in the chest.

Read-only mode can be used to provide items to the network, but the network can not add new items to the storage chest. This is useful when you want to store the result of an assembler, but do not want that item filling up your storage.


Network Interface

Transfers items in or out of the storage network based on filters. The interface chest can request from, and push items to, the storage network. When a filter is set via the GUI, the interface will request that item from the network.

If an item is added to the chest which does not match any filter, or causes the amount stored to exceed the request amount, that item is pushed to the network.


Provider Interface

Requests items from the storage network, and passively provides them to the logistics network. The provider interface behaves just like the interface chest, however stored items are also provided to the logistics network.


Requester Chest

Requests items from the logistics network, and passively provides them to the storage network. The requester chest requests items from the logistics network, and provides them to the storage network. It does not push its items into the network.
