What is LogisticsNetwork?

2 parts

LogisticsNetwork is a wireless transport mod for items, fluids, FE and Mekanism chemicals. Instead of running pipes or cables, you stick a node on the block you want to pull from or push into, and the network handles the rest. This pack ships version 1.10.1.[1][2][3]

How it works

Nodes are entities, not blocks. They sit on the face of a chest, tank or machine like an item frame would, so they take up no block space. The mod's own page says this lets you hide the automation completely, even suspended in mid-air.[1][4]

Every node has 9 channels, and each channel is one transfer rule. A Sender channel pulls resources out of the block, and a Receiver channel pushes them in. A Sender only talks to Receivers on the same channel number anywhere on the network, so matching numbers act like labelled pipes.[3][4]

You configure nodes with a Wrench. Filters narrow down what a channel moves, and the Computer block gives you a terminal to watch your networks and their throughput.[5][6][7]

Who it's for

This mod is for you if you want automation that is fast, highly configurable and lag friendly, and you would rather go wireless than run pipes. The project page also lists redstone control on all nodes, a choice of input or output side, and cross-dimensional transfer with a special upgrade.[1]

Tip: A good first setup is one node on a chest set to Sender for items on channel 1, and one node on a furnace set to Receiver for items on channel 1. Put both on the same network and the chest feeds the furnace.[3]

Unverified The sources do not place this mod on a progression path. It is not on the ATM Star path and no quests in this pack involve it.

How do you get started with LogisticsNetwork?

5 parts

Logistics Network is a wireless transport mod: you stick a node on the block you want to move resources from or to, and it just works. Here is the order I'd make things in, and why. The recipes below are the pack's own versions, which the pack changed from the mod's defaults.[1][8]

First, the Logistics Node

Everything starts with the Logistics Node. One node has 9 channels, so it can run 9 different processes at once. Every node also has redstone control, and you can pick which side is used for input or output.[1][8]

Second, the Wrench

Next, grab the Wrench. Nodes can be hidden, and a hidden node only draws in the world while you hold a wrench, at reduced opacity. The wrench also does copy and paste on node settings, and pasting copies a node's label too.[9]

Third, a Small Filter

With no filters, a channel moves everything that matches its type. That gets messy fast. The Filter is an exact-match filter with 9 entry slots, and you can use it on the sending side, the receiving side, or both. On a sender it decides what gets pulled out of the block. On a receiver it decides what gets accepted into the block.[6][10]

Fourth, the Computer

Once you have a few nodes running, build the Computer. Right-click it to open the Network Manager, where you can list your networks, watch live throughput per channel, and open any node's settings remotely from wherever you are. If you carry a Wrench, the Computer loads one into its drive bay slot without using it up.[5][9][12]

How does LogisticsNetwork work?

6 parts

Logistics Network moves items, fluids, energy and chemicals using nodes and channels. A Logistics Node is a small entity you stick on a block that has storage, such as a chest, a tank or a machine. Nodes that share a network can pass resources to each other. Everything else, like what moves, which way and how fast, is set per channel.[3]

Senders, Receivers and channels

A node does nothing on its own. Each node has 9 channels, and each channel is either a Sender or a Receiver. A Sender takes resources out of the block the node is attached to. A Receiver puts resources into it. The key rule is that a Sender only talks to Receivers on the same channel number, across the whole network. Think of the numbers as labelled pipes.[3]

  1. Place a node on a chest full of iron and set channel 1 to Sender, type Items.[3]
  2. Place a node on a furnace and set channel 1 to Receiver, type Items.[3]
  3. Put both nodes on the same network. The Sender pulls iron from the chest and the Receiver on channel 1 pushes it into the furnace.[3]

For the channel you currently have selected, Senders drive the transfers and Receivers are passive. A network with only Senders or only Receivers does nothing, so you need at least one of each on the same channel number.[13]

The pack changes the recipes for this mod's items, so use this one, not the mod default.

Channel settings

Every channel has its own independent copy of these settings. Click the channel number buttons at the top of the screen to choose which channel you are editing, and the settings apply to the channel you currently have selected. Alt plus left or right click sets a setting to its maximum or minimum.[13]

  • Status: Enabled or Disabled for the channel you currently have selected. A disabled channel is skipped completely but keeps all its settings, so it works as a pause button.[13]
  • Mode: Sender or Receiver for the channel you currently have selected, as described above.[13]
  • Type: Item, Fluid or Energy on the channel you currently have selected. Fluids are measured in millibuckets and energy in Forge Energy / RF. If the attached block has no matching capability on the chosen side, the channel silently does nothing. An item node on a fluid tank won't transfer anything.[13]
  • Side: Up, Down, North, East, South, West or All. Many machines expose different slots on different faces. Furnaces are the classic example. Picking All merges every face into one pool, which usually isn't what you want on a furnace, so pick the specific face instead.[13]
  • Redstone: Always On, Always Off, High Signal or Low Signal, set for the channel you currently have selected. The signal is read at the block the node is attached to. This row is greyed out on Receivers.[13]
  • Distribution: on the channel you currently have selected, it decides which Receiver a Sender serves first when several match. The options are Priority (higher number first), Nearest First, Farthest First and Round Robin. Round Robin keeps its rotation pointer across ticks, so the rotation stays fair over long runs. This row is also greyed out on Receivers.[13]

Chemicals, Source and cross-dimension transfer

The Type setting of the channel you currently have selected also has Chemical (Mekanism) and Source (Ars Nouveau) types, but each needs a specific upgrade to unlock. The Mekanism Chemical Upgrade unlocks Chemical channel transfer and the Ars Source Upgrade unlocks Source channel transfer. The Dimensional Upgrade enables cross-dimension transfers.[8][10][13]

The pack changes the recipes for these upgrades too. Here is the Dimensional Upgrade as the pack has it.[8]

Recipe id: logisticsnetworks:dimensional_upgrade

The performance upgrades come in Iron, Gold, Diamond and Netherite tiers. They are Iron Upgrade, Gold Upgrade, Diamond Upgrade and Netherite Upgrade, and the pack has its own recipes for each. A node's upgrades sit in a 2x2 grid of 4 slots on the right of its config screen.[8][10][14]

Unverified The mod's project page advertises per-channel maximums of up to 10k items, 1000b of fluid, 2.1b FE/t and 1000b of chemicals. We could not confirm what each upgrade tier allows in this pack, and the pack has no config files for the mod to check, so treat those figures as mod defaults.

Filters

Filters decide which resources a channel may move. Drop them into the 3x3 grid of 9 filter slots on the node screen. Those slots belong to the channel you currently have selected, so one node can run 9 different filter setups. If all 9 slots are empty, the channel moves everything that matches its Type.[6][14]

Filters do different jobs depending on the side. On a Sender, the filter decides what gets pulled out of the source block. On a Receiver, it decides what gets accepted into the destination, and anything rejected keeps flowing to other Receivers. A common pattern is one Sender pulling from a dump chest and several Receivers that each filter a narrow subset.[6]

Every filter is either a Whitelist (only the listed things pass) or a Blacklist (everything except the listed things passes). Right-click a filter in hand to flip the mode. With more than one filter in the grid, the Any / All button above the grid sets how they combine. Match Any lets a resource through if at least one filter accepts it, and Match All requires every filter to accept it. Any is the default.[6][14]

  • Filter, Medium Filter and Big Filter are exact item or fluid matchers with 9, 18 and 27 entry slots.[6][11][15][16]
  • Mod Filter matches everything whose registry namespace equals one mod id. To cover several mods, stack multiple Mod Filters in one channel and set it to Match Any.[17]
  • Regex Filter is the Regex Filter. It matches the display name, the tooltip or both with a Java regular expression. Every resource the channel tries to move goes through the regex, so keep patterns simple on busy channels.[10][18]
  • Slot Filter restricts which inventory slots a channel reads from or inserts into. Durability Filter matches damageable items by remaining durability.[8][10]

Some older filter types are flagged as deprecated in the mod's tooltips. Their function has moved into the detail page of the normal filters.[10]

Tip: To copy a filter, put a configured filter and an empty filter of the same type together in the crafting grid, and you get both back with identical setups. To wipe one, put a configured filter alone in the crafting grid and it comes out empty.[6]

Per-entry rules

In a Small, Medium or Big filter, every entry slot has a hidden Detail page. Open the filter, then ctrl + left-click a filled entry slot. From there you can match a whole tag by prefixing it with #, set a per-entry Batch, set a Stock threshold, add NBT rules (up to 6 per entry) and restrict the entry to specific slot indices.[19]

Stock means different things on each side. On a Sender it is a reserve, so the Sender never pulls that item if it would leave fewer than the stock value behind. On a Receiver it is a cap, so the Receiver stops inserting once the destination holds at least that many. A Batch value on an entry overrides the channel's Batch for that entry only. Only the Sender's Batch counts, and Receivers ignore it. Leaving Batch or Stock at 0 turns it off.[19]

The Slots field takes a comma-separated list of indices and ranges, such as 0-3, 5, from 0 to 53. A handy use is a furnace with one entry for coal limited to slot 1 and another for smeltables limited to slot 0, so nothing ends up in the wrong slot.[19]

Monitoring with the Computer

The Computer block gives you a terminal for watching your networks. Right-click it to open the Network Manager. Its directory lists every network on the server, and networks are not owner-locked. You pick one and mount it, then open either the I/O Monitor or the Node Table. If you carry a Wrench, the Computer loads a copy into its drive bay slot. It is borrowed, not consumed, and stays there until you take it back.[5]

The I/O Monitor groups activity by channel index, so 10 nodes running Items on the same channel show as one row. Click a row for a live throughput graph of 120 data points that updates about once per second. An empty graph means the channel exists but nothing is moving. In that case check filters, status and whether the source actually has the resource.[12]

The Node Table lists every node on the mounted network with its block, dimension and coordinates. The lamp button highlights a node in the world, and only you see that outline. The gear button opens the node's full config screen remotely, so you don't have to walk over to it. Nodes can be grouped by label, and the SHOW and HIDE buttons toggle render visibility for every node on the network at once.[9]

Tip: Pinned networks are stored on the Computer block itself. Each Computer has its own favourites.[5]

How do you progress through LogisticsNetwork?

5 parts

Here is the path in this pack: build a node, climb the performance upgrade tiers, add special upgrades in the spare slots, and grow your filters from the Small Filter. Every recipe for this mod is marked as changed by the pack, so trust the recipe cards below rather than any default you remember.[8][14][20]

Step 1: The node

The Logistics Node is where you begin. Its configuration screen has a 3x3 grid of filter slots and a 2x2 grid of upgrade slots.[8][14]

This is the pack's recipe for the node.

Step 2: The performance upgrade tiers

Performance upgrades raise how much a node moves per operation and lower its minimum delay. They apply to the whole node, so every channel benefits. The tiers go Iron Upgrade (tier 1), Gold Upgrade (tier 2), Diamond Upgrade (tier 3) and Netherite Upgrade (tier 4).[8][20]

Watch out: Only the highest tier installed counts. If you put Iron, Gold and Diamond in the same node, it uses the Diamond caps and the other two do nothing. Don't waste slots stacking performance upgrades.[20]
  • Iron: 16 items, 1,000 mB and 10,000 RF per batch, with a minimum delay of 10 ticks.[20]
  • Gold: 32 items, 5,000 mB and 50,000 RF per batch, with a minimum delay of 5 ticks.[20]
  • With no upgrade, the node uses whatever values you configured.[20]

Step 3: Special upgrades

The node has 4 upgrade slots and refuses duplicates. Since only your best performance upgrade matters, use the spare slots for the special upgrades: Dimensional Upgrade, Mekanism Chemical Upgrade and Ars Source Upgrade. Upgrades can unlock special capabilities, like the Chemical and Source channel types.[8][14][20]

Filters: from small to specialized

Filters follow their own ladder. The Filter is the entry point, then come the Medium Filter and the Big Filter. Small, Medium and Big hold a 9, 18 and 27-slot grid of entries respectively.[8][19]

Each channel has its own 9 filter slots, and if they are all empty everything passes.[14]

Tip: Even the three basic filters can do more than match exact items. Ctrl + left-click a filled entry slot to open its hidden Detail page, where you can set tags, batch limits, stock thresholds, NBT rules and slot restrictions.[19]

The pack also has recipes for the Wrench, the Computer and the Pattern Setter.[8]

How does LogisticsNetwork work with other mods?

3 parts

LogisticsNetwork connects to other mods in this pack through three crafting recipes, and every one of them was changed by the pack. No quests in this pack involve the mod, so these recipes are the whole story. Each one has a recipe block below, so you can see the exact in-pack version.[8]

Ars Nouveau: Ars Source Upgrade

The Ars Source Upgrade is the bridge to Ars Nouveau. Its recipe uses Ars Nouveau items on top of a base Iron Upgrade.[8]

The mod's I/O Monitor lists Source as one of its channel types, next to Items, Fluids, Energy and Chemicals. It shows Source throughput as source per second.[12]

Mekanism: Mekanism Chemical Upgrade

The Mekanism Chemical Upgrade ties the mod to Mekanism. It also starts from an Iron Upgrade and adds Mekanism parts. The mod itself can transfer Mekanism's chemicals, with a stated limit of 1,000b of chemicals per channel.[1][8]
