ECO Storage System
The ECO Storage System is an extensible multiblock storage solution that provides massive storage capacity integrated with your ME Network.
Overview
The storage subsystem acts as a high-capacity storage extension for your AE2 network. It consists of a controller, drives for storage cells, energy cells for power storage, and various structural components.
Tiers
There are three tiers of storage systems available:
| Tier | Controller | Storage Capacity | Power Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| L4 |  ECO - L4 контроллер хранения |
16MB per cell | 10,000,000 AE |
| L6 |  ECO - L6 контроллер хранения |
64MB per cell | 100,000,000 AE |
| L9 |  ECO - L9 контроллер хранения |
256MB per cell | 1,000,000,000 AE |
Structure Components
Controller
The controller (ECO - L4 контроллер хранения, ECO - L6 контроллер хранения, or ECO - L9 контроллер хранения) is the core of the storage system. It must be placed at a valid position in the multiblock structure and determines the tier of the entire system.
Storage Drive
The ECO - LD дисковод матриц хранения holds ECO storage cells. Multiple drives can be added to expand storage capacity. Drives are placed in a row extending from the controller.
Energy Cells
High-density energy cells (ECO - LT4 энергохранилище высокой плотности, ECO - LT6 энергохранилище высокой плотности, or ECO - LT9 энергохранилище высокой плотности) provide power storage for the system. The energy cell tier must match the controller tier.
Interface
The Интерфейс связи подсистемы хранения connects the storage system to your ME Network.
Heat Sink
The Радиатор подсистемы хранения is required for thermal management of the storage system.
Casing
The Корпус подсистемы хранения blocks form the frame of the multiblock structure.
Building the Structure
- Place the Controller facing outward
- Build the structural frame using Storage Casing blocks around the controller (excluding the right side and back-right side)
- Place the Interface at the designated position (back-left of controller)
- Add Drives in a horizontal row extending from the right side of the controller
- For each vertical column of drives on the right side, place one Energy Cell above, one Heat Sink in the middle, and one Energy Cell below on the back of the drives
- Complete the structure with remaining casing blocks
The structure is extensible - you can add more drives and energy cells to increase capacity.
To assemble the structure more quickly, hold the Structure Terminal and normal right-click the controller. Follow Multiblock Auto Builder to select the length and build mode, then hold Shift and right-click the controller to execute.
Storage Cells
The following ECO storage cells can be used in the drives:
Item Storage
- ECO - LE4 предметная матрица хранения - 16MB capacity
- ECO - LE6 предметная матрица хранения - 64MB capacity
- ECO - LE9 предметная матрица хранения - 256MB capacity
Fluid Storage
- ECO - LE4 жидкостная матрица хранения - 16MB capacity
- ECO - LE6 жидкостная матрица хранения - 64MB capacity
- ECO - LE9 жидкостная матрица хранения - 256MB capacity
Storage matrices provided by AE2 Omni Cells are documented in Compatibility Storage Matrices.
Usage
Once formed, the storage system will automatically connect to the ME Network through the interface. All stored items and fluids will be accessible from any connected terminal.
The GUI displays:
- Current energy storage level
- Energy capacity percentage
