What is Applied Mekanistics?
2 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
Applied Mekanistics is the official Mekanism support addon for AE2. If you run both mods and want your Mekanism chemicals to plug into your ME network, this is the bridge. The pack includes version 1.6.3.[1][2]
What it adds
- Chemical support for existing AE2 devices. You can put an import bus or export bus on a chemical tank, put a storage bus on a radioactive waste barrel, attach pressurized tubes to interfaces, and use chemicals in crafting recipes.[1]
- Chemical storage cells in 1k, 4k, 16k and 64k sizes, so you can keep gasses in your ME Drives. Radioactive gasses are not supported in these cells.[1]
- Chemical P2P tunnels for high-throughput chemical transfer. Right-click a Mekanism chemical tank on a P2P tunnel to convert it.[1]
- QIO support for the Storage Bus. Place the storage bus on the side of a QIO Dashboard and it can interact with the contents of a QIO frequency.[1]
Who it is for
This addon is for you if you already use AE2 for storage and autocrafting and also run Mekanism chemical setups. It lets you manage chemicals through your network instead of keeping them in separate systems.[1]
Unverified The sources don't show where this addon fits in the pack's progression. I can't confirm any quests for it or a place on the ATM Star path, so don't count on either.
How do you get started with Applied Mekanistics?
2 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
Applied Mekanistics is the bridge between AE2 and Mekanism. It adds chemical support to existing AE2 devices, so you can do things like put an import bus or export bus on a chemical tank. It also adds chemical storage cells, which let you keep gasses in your ME Drives. The mod needs both AE2 and Mekanism, so your first steps here are all about chemical storage.[1]
Your first crafts, in order
- Craft an ME Chemical Cell Housing. Every chemical cell in the pack is built around it, so it is always the first thing to make. The mod's project page notes that it uses osmium ingots where you might expect iron or copper ingots, so have some osmium ready. The exact in-pack recipe is below.[1][3]
- Combine the housing with an ME Storage Component to make a chemical storage cell. The component's size sets the cell's size, so a 1k component gives you the 1k ME Chemical Storage Cell. This is the cheapest way to start storing gasses in an ME Drive.[1][3]
- Upgrade when you need more room. This pack has chemical storage cells from 1k ME Chemical Storage Cell and 4k ME Chemical Storage Cell up through 16k ME Chemical Storage Cell, 64k ME Chemical Storage Cell and 256k ME Chemical Storage Cell. Each one is the matching storage component plus a housing.[3]

The housing is the base of every chemical cell in the pack.
A good first cell. The bigger sizes follow the same pattern with a bigger storage component.
Taking chemicals with you
If you want a handheld option, the pack also has portable chemical cells in the same sizes, such as the 1k Portable Chemical Cell. Its recipe uses the housing and a storage component plus a couple of extra AE2 parts, so it makes sense to make these after you have the basic cells working.[3]

How does Applied Mekanistics work?
5 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
Applied Mekanistics is the bridge between AE2 and Mekanism. Instead of adding a pile of new machines, it teaches AE2's existing network devices to handle Mekanism chemicals, and adds storage cells so your ME system can hold them.[1]
Chemical support on AE2 devices
The mod's own description lists what this support looks like in practice. These are the setups it gives as examples:[1]
- An import bus can sit on a chemical tank.[1]
- An export bus can sit on a chemical tank.[1]
- A storage bus can sit on a radioactive waste barrel.[1]
- Pressurized tubes can attach to interfaces.[1]
- Chemicals can be used in crafting recipes.[1]
Chemical P2P tunnels
Chemical P2P Tunnels are there for high-throughput chemical transfer. To set one up, right click any Mekanism chemical tank on a P2P tunnel and it converts.[1]
QIO storage bus support
The Storage Bus can also interact with the contents of a QIO frequency. Place the storage bus on the side of a QIO Dashboard.[1]
Chemical storage cells
The mod adds chemical storage cells that go into your ME Drives, so you can store gasses in your ME system. The project page lists 1k, 4k, 16k and 64k tiers, but this pack also has a 256k ME Chemical Storage Cell, so the page is not the full picture here. The others are 1k ME Chemical Storage Cell, 4k ME Chemical Storage Cell, 16k ME Chemical Storage Cell and 64k ME Chemical Storage Cell.[1][3][4]
Every cell starts with the ME Chemical Cell Housing. Here is the in-pack recipe:[3]
Crafting Shaped
| any redstone dust | ||
| any redstone dust | Empty slot | any redstone dust |
| any osmium ingot | any osmium ingot | any osmium ingot |
Recipe id: appmek:chemical_cell_housing
You combine the housing with an ME Storage Component of the matching tier to get the finished cell. The 1k cell is the example below, and the other tiers follow the same pattern.[1][3]
Portable chemical cells
There are also portable versions in the same tiers, from 1k Portable Chemical Cell and 4k Portable Chemical Cell up through 16k Portable Chemical Cell and 64k Portable Chemical Cell to 256k Portable Chemical Cell. Each one is crafted from the housing together with a matching storage component, an ME Chest and an Energy Cell. Here is the 1k version:[3][4]
Unverified The sources here do not show transfer rates, power use or how many chemical types a cell can hold. No config files for this mod were found in the pack, so none of those settings can be confirmed here.
How do you progress through Applied Mekanistics?
3 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
Progression for this mod is all about chemical storage. You start with the shared ME Chemical Cell Housing, then climb through the capacity tiers: 1k, 4k, 16k, 64k and 256k.[3]
The cell housing
Every chemical cell in the pack, standard or portable, is crafted with the housing. The housing itself is a shaped crafting recipe, so lay it out exactly as shown below.[3]

Recipe id: appmek:chemical_cell_housing
ME Chemical Storage Cells
Each standard cell is a shapeless craft that combines the housing with the ME storage component of the matching size. You climb the tiers the same way you climb regular AE2 storage: the component you use decides which cell you get.[3]
- 1k ME Chemical Storage Cell is the lowest tier.[3]
- 4k ME Chemical Storage Cell is the next step up.[3]
- 16k ME Chemical Storage Cell comes after that.[3]
- 64k ME Chemical Storage Cell is the tier below the top.[3]
- 256k ME Chemical Storage Cell is the top tier.[3]
Crafting Shapeless
Recipe id: appmek:chemical_storage_cell_256k
Portable Chemical Cells
The portable versions follow the same tiers. They are also shapeless crafts, but they need extra AE2 parts on top of the housing and the matching storage component, so the portable route costs more than a standard cell of the same size. The recipes below show the exact in-pack ingredients.[3]
- 1k Portable Chemical Cell[3]
- 4k Portable Chemical Cell[3]
- 16k Portable Chemical Cell[3]
- 64k Portable Chemical Cell[3]
- 256k Portable Chemical Cell[3]

Unverified The sources here do not show any quest involving this mod, so we can't say whether the pack's quest book guides you through these tiers. If you want to check, look through the quest chapters in-game.
How does Applied Mekanistics work with other mods?
4 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
Applied Mekanistics is described as the official Mekanism support addon for AE2. In this pack, its recipes are built from AE2 parts plus a material tagged as osmium, which is the link between the two mods. Everything below comes from the recipes the pack ships.[1][3]
The chemical cell housing
Every chemical cell starts with the ME Chemical Cell Housing. Its recipe uses Quartz Glass from AE2, redstone dust and any item tagged as an osmium ingot. The mod's own description says osmium ingots take the place of the iron or copper ingots you might expect.[1][3]
Crafting Shaped
| any redstone dust | ||
| any redstone dust | Empty slot | any redstone dust |
| any osmium ingot | any osmium ingot | any osmium ingot |
Recipe id: appmek:chemical_cell_housing
The recipe takes any redstone dust and any osmium ingot, not one specific item.
Chemical storage cells
To turn a housing into a cell, combine it with an AE2 storage component. This is a shapeless recipe, so the layout doesn't matter. Each chemical storage cell uses the AE2 component of the matching tier:[3]
- 1k ME Chemical Storage Cell, made with 1k ME Storage Component[3]
- 4k ME Chemical Storage Cell, made with 4k ME Storage Component[3]
- 16k ME Chemical Storage Cell, made with 16k ME Storage Component[3]
- 64k ME Chemical Storage Cell, made with 64k ME Storage Component[3]
- 256k ME Chemical Storage Cell, made with 256k ME Storage Component[3]
This is the 1k tier. The other tiers swap in the matching AE2 storage component.
Portable chemical cells
The portable versions, such as 1k Portable Chemical Cell and 256k Portable Chemical Cell, need more AE2 parts. Besides the housing and a storage component, the recipe also uses an ME Chest and an Energy Cell. They are available in the same tiers as the regular cells.[3]
This is the 1k tier. Higher tiers use the matching storage component.
Cell upgrade recipes
The pack also registers a cell_upgrade recipe for each chemical storage cell and portable chemical cell. They use the AE2 storage cell disassembly recipe type and list the same ingredients as the crafting recipes above.[3]
