LaserIO in All the Mods 10: To the Sky

LaserIO is a logistics mod for moving things between inventories without running pipes everywhere. The pack's quest book describes it as DireWolf's continuation of EnderIO's Logistics, and it's all about moving items with lasers. This pack includes version 1.9.11.^[1][2]

The core idea is simple. The Laser Node is the heart of the mod. It moves things to and from any adjacent inventory in the four cardinal directions plus up and down. To reach farther inventories, you place a second node and link the two with the Laser Wrench: Shift Right Click the first node, then Right Click the second.^[2]

A node does nothing on its own, though. Cards are how nodes interact with adjacent blocks, so without them a node is worthless.^[3]

What you can move

• Item Card sends items between inventories such as chests and furnaces. Without overclockers it moves up to 8 items per 20 ticks, and with 4 overclockers up to 64 items per tick.^[4]
• Fluid Card sends fluids between tanks. It does not move fluid sources in or out of the world.^[2][5]
• Energy Card sends energy between machines and batteries.^[6]
• Chemical Card handles Mekanism chemicals such as gases, infuse types and pigments. These cards are only available when Mekanism is installed.^[2][7]
• Redstone Card sends redstone signals across the whole network on its own dedicated redstone channel.^[8]

Cards only talk to other cards on the same channel, so one network can run several separate routing setups. Filters such as the Basic Filter control what the cards are allowed to move.^[2][9][10]

Quality-of-life tools

Once you have many cards, the Card Holder stores them like a second inventory, and the Card Cloner copies settings from one card to another. For more speed, the Card Overclocker goes in a card and the Node Overclocker goes in the node itself.^[2][11][12]

Where it fits in the pack

LaserIO has its own "Basic Logistics" quest chapter. It starts with the quest "Laser IO" quest, which asks for the Logic Chip. The node, the card types, the overclockers, the card holder, the cloner and the wrench all unlock from that first quest.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't show LaserIO as part of the ATM Star quest path, so don't count on it being required for that route.

LaserIO is all about moving items, fluids, energy and more with Laser Nodes and cards. The pack's quest "Laser IO" quest starts you off with the Logic Chip, and that is the right place to begin. Here is the order I'd go in.^[2][13]

Step one: make Logic Chips

Logic Chips are the main crafting ingredient in LaserIO. They are the only item crafted from vanilla materials, and everything else uses a chip somewhere. You make a Raw Logic Chip first, then smelt it into a chip. The pack changed the Raw Logic Chip recipe, so use the one below and not what you remember from the mod's defaults.^[14][15]

Step two: Connector, then Laser Node

The Laser Node is the heart of the mod. It interacts with the blocks next to it, and each side has a 3x3 grid of slots for cards. The Node recipe uses a Laser Connector, so craft the connector first.^[2][13][15]

Step three: your first Item Cards

A Node does nothing without cards. The Item Card is the one for moving items between inventories like chests and furnaces. You need two: one set to Extract and one set to Insert.^[2][3][4]

1. Place a Laser Node next to the inventory you want to take items from. A Node can also sit between two chests and work with both.^[13]
2. Right click the side of the Node facing that inventory to open its UI, and put an Item Card set to Extract there.^[2][13]
3. Put a second Item Card set to Insert on the side facing the destination. Extract cards send items to Insert cards.^[2][16]
4. Without overclockers, an Item Card moves at most 8 items every 20 ticks.^[4]

Step four: Laser Wrench for distance

To link inventories that are further apart, use the Laser Wrench. Shift-right click the first Node or Connector to select it, then right click the second one. The maximum connection range is 8 blocks, and Connectors are the cheaper way to cover longer distances.^[13][17][18]

Upgrades worth making next

• Card Holder: stores your cards so they don't fill your inventory. Right click it to open it. Shift-right click to make it pull cards out of your inventory automatically.^[2][11]
• Basic Filter: limits what a card moves, in allow or deny mode. Counting, Mod and Tag filters are made from it.^[2][15][19]
• Card Overclocker: goes in a card to make it faster. With 4 installed, an Item Card reaches 64 items per tick. The quest allows up to 4 of them.^[2][20]
• Node Overclocker: goes in the Node itself to let a side operate on more cards per tick. The quest allows up to 8 of them.^[2][21]
• Card Cloner: copies one card's settings onto another, so you don't set each card by hand.^[2][12]

LaserIO is all about the Laser Node. It is the block that talks to whatever sits next to it, and it does that through cards. A node with no cards in it does nothing, so every setup is a node, some cards, and (optionally) filters and overclockers on top.^[3][13]

Nodes, connectors and the wrench

Each side of a node has a 3x3 grid of slots for cards. Right click a side to open its screen, and use the buttons along the top to switch sides if the one you want is hard to reach. One node can work with several adjacent inventories at once, so a single node between two chests is a perfectly good setup.^[13]

To link nodes, use the Laser Wrench. Shift-right-click a block to select it (it is highlighted green), then right click another block to form the connection. The maximum range is 8 blocks.^[17]

When your nodes are further apart, the Laser Connector acts as a cheaper intermediary point between nodes, so you can build a network of interconnected inventories.^[13][18]

The Advanced Laser Connector connects to basic connectors and nodes up to 8 blocks away, but it can only be linked to one other Advanced Connector, forming a pair. The range between the two partners is infinite, even across dimensions. Pairing it with a new partner breaks the old link, and holding the wrench while looking at it shows the partner's coordinates.^[22]

From any node screen you can open Network Settings to change the network color. It covers the node blocks, connector blocks and the lasers between them, and it spreads to every node on the same network. It is purely cosmetic. The Alpha setting controls how transparent the lasers are, and Wrench Alpha adds to it while you hold the wrench, so you can hide the lasers except when you are holding one.^[23]

Cards and modes

Right click a card in your hand, or inside a node screen, to open its settings. The mode decides what the card fundamentally does:^[16][24]

• Insert: a valid destination for things pulled out by Extract cards. Priority decides the order inserters are used in.^[16][25]
• Extract: removes things from the adjacent block and sends them to an insert card.^[16]
• Stock: looks for the items in its filter and pulls them from Insert cards elsewhere in the same network. It needs a filter set to Allow.^[16]
• Sensor: moves nothing. It checks an adjacent inventory, tank or cell against its filter and emits a redstone signal of strength 15 on its redstone channel if it matches. It does nothing without a filter.^[16][26]

Which card you need depends on what you are moving: the Item Card for items, the Fluid Card for fluids, the Energy Card for energy, and the Redstone Card for redstone signals. The Chemical Card sends chemicals between inventories such as Mekanism tanks, and the mod's own guide says it is only available when Mekanism is installed.^{[3][4][5][6][7][8]}

The pack changed this recipe from the mod's own.

Routing settings

• Channel: cards only interact with cards on the same channel. Put an Extract card on Orange with a cobblestone filter and another on Black with a coal filter, and an Orange inserter above a furnace and a Black one below it will feed cobblestone to the top and coal to the bottom.^[9]
• Sneaky: picks which side of the adjacent inventory the card works on. A furnace takes items from its top, so an insert card set to Up fills the top, and another set to Down can insert fuel into the bottom.^[27]
• Priority (Insert only): inserters default to nearest first. A higher number is served first, so 10 beats 0, which beats -10. Equal priorities fall back to nearest first.^[25]
• Round Robin (Extract only): False follows priority and fills the first inventory entirely before the second. True spreads items evenly across destinations in priority order. Enforced follows the same rules, but the extractor stops until a full destination has room again. Chunk unloading can change how this behaves.^[28]
• Exact (Extract and Stock only): the card only moves items when the full Extract Amount is available. With an amount of 8 and only 5 items in the chest, nothing is taken. On a Stock card it uses whichever is smaller, the amount still needed or the Extract Amount.^[29]
• Regulate (Stock only): with a Counting Filter, it keeps exactly the requested amount in the inventory. Without it, excess items are left alone. With it on, the excess is removed if an inserter can accept it.^[30]

Redstone control

Redstone cards carry signals across the whole network on a dedicated redstone channel, separate from the normal channels. Input mode accepts a signal from something like dust, a lever or a button. Output mode emits one to blocks such as dust, lamps or repeaters, with a Weak or Strong toggle. Weak only reaches directly adjacent blocks, while Strong can pass through an adjacent block to affect the one behind it, like a lever.^[8]

Every card also has a redstone mode. It defaults to Ignored, so the card always runs. Low means it only runs when there is no signal on its redstone channel, and High means it only runs when there is one.^[8][31]

Speed and overclockers

Extract and Stock cards have Extract Amount and Tick Speed settings. Extract Amount defaults to 1 and tops out at 8 without overclockers. Tick Speed defaults to 20 ticks (1 second), which is also its minimum, with a maximum of 1200. Card Overclocker items in the card raise those limits: Extract Amount can reach 16, 32, 48 and 64 with 1 to 4 overclockers, and the minimum Tick Speed drops to 15, 10, 5 and 1.^{[4][20][32][33]}

Item Cards show the pattern clearly. Their maximum throughput by number of Card Overclockers installed is:^[4]

• 0 overclockers: 8 items per 20 ticks.^[4]
• 1 overclocker: 16 items per 15 ticks.^[4]
• 2 overclockers: 32 items per 10 ticks.^[4]
• 3 overclockers: 48 items per 5 ticks.^[4]
• 4 overclockers: 64 items per tick.^[4]

Fluid Cards and Chemical Cards follow the same timing steps of 20, 15, 10, 5 and 1 ticks for 0 to 4 overclockers, but each has its own table of maximum mB per operation. Check those tables in the in-game guide entries for each card.^[5][7]

Node Overclockers work differently. Each side of a node can only operate on one card per tick, so with three extractors on one side, the second only runs if the first did nothing. Each Node Overclocker on that side lets it work on more cards per tick, and 8 of them cover all 9 slots. Inserter cards do not need them, only Extract and Stock cards do.^[13][21]

Moving energy

Energy Cards already run every tick by default, and overclockers cannot go into them. They always move up to 1,000,000 FE per tick, which you can lower if you want.^[6]

They also have an Energy Limit % setting. In Insert and Stock modes it defaults to 100% and sets how full the target gets, so 50% on a block holding 1,000,000 FE stops filling at the halfway point. In Extract mode it defaults to 0% and sets how much is left behind, so 25% on a 1,000,000 FE cell means it will not extract below 250,000 FE.^[6][34]

Filters

Filters control what cards are allowed to move. Open one with a right click, or from inside a card. Most filters have an Allow or Deny toggle, and a data comparison toggle: with it on, item data such as damage or enchantments counts, so a damaged or enchanted diamond sword differs from a fresh one. With it off, all diamond swords match.^[10][19][35]

• Basic Filter: uses ghost slots that only show an image of an item. If JEI is installed you can drag items into them.^[36]
• Counting Filter: sets a number from 1 to 4096. On a Stock card it keeps that amount in stock, on an Insert card it limits how many items can be sent in, and on an Extract card it leaves that many behind. All counting filters are in Allow mode.^[37]
• Mod Filter: matches by source mod. Putting a Laser Wrench in it matches every LaserIO item and block.^[38]
• Tag Filter: matches by item tag, such as forge:ingots. The list is an 'or' list, so matching any one tag is enough. It does not support data comparison.^[39]
• Data Filter: works like the Tag Filter, but with the data tags on an item. Adding the Enchantments tag, for example, matches every enchanted item whatever its enchantments.^[35][40]

For Sensor cards, a Basic Filter checks for any amount of the item. A Counting Filter checks for that amount or more, unless you turn on Exact. An And/Or button sets the rule: in Or mode only one filter has to match, and in And mode all filters must match.^[26]

Card Holder and Card Cloner

The Card Holder stores cards in stacks of up to 64, as long as their data matches. Shift-right-click it to make it pull cards from your inventory automatically (it glows while active). Filters and overclockers can be stored too, though filters are only auto-added if they hold no data. Cards in a stack larger than 1 have their Filter and Overclocker slots disabled to prevent duping.^[11]

The Card Cloner copies card settings. In a node screen, pick it up, left click a card to copy and right click another to paste. Overclockers and filters are taken from, or returned to, the available Card Holder, not your inventory. If anything needed is missing, the paste fails completely instead of partially applying.^[12]

LaserIO progression in this pack is flat and easy to follow. Everything starts at the "Laser IO" quest quest, which asks for a Logic Chip. Almost every other quest in the Basic Logistics chapter unlocks right after it, so you can pick the order that suits your base. The exceptions are the Laser Connector quest, which comes after the Laser Node quest, and the Counting, Mod and Tag filter quests, which come after the Basic Filter quest.^[2]

Step 1: the Logic Chip

The Logic Chip is the part almost every LaserIO recipe is built around. You make it by smelting a Raw Logic Chip, and the pack has changed the recipe for the raw chip, so don't rely on your memory of the mod's default.^[15]

Step 3: Cards

Cards are how nodes interact with adjacent blocks, and without them a node does nothing. Each card type has its own quest:^[2][3]

• Item Card ("Item Card" quest): moves items. Set one card to Extract and another to Insert.^[2]
• Fluid Card ("Fluid Card" quest): works like the Item Card but between tanks. It does not move fluid sources in or out of the world.^[2]
• Energy Card ("Energy Card" quest): moves energy between things like machines and batteries.^[2][6]
• Chemical Card ("Chemical Card" quest): moves Mekanism chemicals such as gas, infuse types and pigments. It is only available when Mekanism is installed.^[2][7]
• Redstone Card ("Redstone Card" quest): wireless redstone. An Input card sends a signal over the network and an Output card emits it somewhere else.^[2][8]

Cards can only talk to other cards on the same channel, so you can run several separate routing setups through the same network.^[9]

Step 4: Overclockers

Cards have throughput limits, and the Card Overclocker raises them. Item, Fluid and Chemical Cards all speed up with each Card Overclocker installed, up to 4. The Item Card is the easiest to see: it moves 8 items per 20 ticks with no overclockers and up to 64 items per tick with 4.^[2][4][5][7]

The Energy Card is the exception. It runs every tick by default at up to 1,000,000 FE per tick, and overclockers can't go into it.^[6]

The Node Overclocker is a different upgrade. It goes into the node itself and makes the node perform operations faster.^[2]

Step 5: Filters

The Basic Filter is the base filter. You can switch it between allow and deny, and choose whether it compares NBT data. The Counting, Mod and Tag filters all unlock after the Basic Filter quest.^[2][19]

• Counting Filter: used with a set number of items. On an extractor it leaves that amount behind, and on a stocker it keeps that amount in stock.^[2][37]
• Mod Filter: matches any item from the same mod as the item you put in.^[2]
• Tag Filter: filters by item tag. You can pick a tag or type one in.^[2]

Quality-of-life upgrades

Once you have a pile of cards, the Card Holder stores them. Cards stack up to 64 in it, provided their NBT data matches. Opening a node also shows the holder's cards.^[2][11]

The Card Cloner copies card settings so you don't have to reconfigure each card by hand. Left Click a card to copy its data, then Right Click another card to paste it. A paste fails entirely if any needed filters or overclockers are missing.^[2][12]

LaserIO's crossovers with other mods are small but useful. The biggest one is Mekanism, and the rest come from the pack's quests, one changed recipe and the mod's in-game guide.^[2][7][15]

Mekanism: Chemical Cards

The Chemical Card is the clearest link. The quest says it was added so LaserIO can work with Mekanism and its other states of matter. It can move everything Pressurized Tubes can, which means gas, infuse types and pigments. See "Chemical Card" quest.^[2]

The in-game guide says Chemical Cards send chemicals between inventories, such as Mekanism tanks, and that they are only available if Mekanism is installed. It documents how much they can move with 0 to 4 Card Overclockers on a following page.^[7]

Energy storage from other mods

The Energy Card moves energy between machines and batteries. It always operates at 1,000,000 FE/tick max, though you can reduce that, and Overclockers can't go into Energy Cards.^[6]

There is one catch with big storage blocks. Forge Energy supports storage up to roughly 2.14 billion FE, but mods like Draconic Evolution or Mekanism have cells that hold more by 'hacking' how Forge Energy works. The Energy Limit % setting does not work on those larger cells.^[6]

Filters and other mods' items

The Mod Filter lets you filter by the mod an item comes from. The quest gives Apotheosis and Mekanism as examples: an Apotheosis Gem only allows Apotheosis items, and a Mekanism Alloy only allows Mekanism items. See a quest in "Basic Logistics".^[2]

The Tag Filter helps with modded gear too. The quest suggests using a tag for tools to pull gear out of a system, and says you can find an item's tags with the /kubejs hand command. See a quest in "Basic Logistics".^[2]

The pack's Guide Book recipe

The pack changed the recipe for the Guide Book, and it now involves the Logic Chip together with a Book. Here is the exact in-pack recipe.^[15]

The Laser Wrench

The Laser Wrench is mainly for linking Laser Nodes and Connectors. The quest also says it works as a wrench for other configs, but it doesn't say which mods or blocks that covers. See a quest in "Basic Logistics".^[2]

All of the LaserIO quests sit in a single chapter, Basic Logistics. It opens with "Laser IO" quest, which asks you to get a Logic Chip. Every other LaserIO quest unlocks after that one, directly or through a short chain.^[2]

Nodes, wrench and connectors

• a quest in "Basic Logistics" asks for a Laser Node. The quest calls it the heart of LaserIO. Cards go into the node, and it moves items from adjacent inventories in the 4 cardinal directions plus up and down. To reach farther inventories you link a second node.^[2]
• a quest in "Basic Logistics" asks for a Laser Wrench, which connects nodes to each other and to connectors.^[2]
• a quest in "Basic Logistics" unlocks after the Laser Node quest. It asks for a Laser Connector, which helps you string nodes over long distances.^[2]
• a quest in "Basic Logistics" asks for a Card Holder. It stores many cards and opens like a second inventory when you open a Laser Node.^[2]

Cards

• "Item Card" quest asks for the Item Card. You set one card to Extract and another to Insert. The quest also points out that Round Robin makes extraction go in order instead of taking from the closest inventory first.^[2]
• "Fluid Card" quest asks for the Fluid Card. It works like the Item Card but moves fluids between tanks. It does not move fluid sources in or out of the world.^[2]
• "Energy Card" quest asks for the Energy Card, which moves energy the same way as items, fluids and chemicals.^[2]
• "Chemical Card" quest asks for the Chemical Card, made for Mekanism. According to the quest it handles gas, infuse types and pigments.^[2]
• "Redstone Card" quest asks for the Redstone Card. One card inputs a redstone signal and an output card sends it somewhere else, so you get wireless redstone.^[2]
• a quest in "Basic Logistics" asks for the Card Cloner. Left click a card to copy its data, then right click another card to paste it.^[2]

Overclockers

• a quest in "Basic Logistics" asks for the Card Overclocker. The quest says that, without upgrades, item extraction moves 8 items per operation and fluid extraction 5 buckets. You put overclockers in the top right of a card to raise that cap.^[2]
• a quest in "Basic Logistics" asks for the Node Overclocker. It goes in the bottom right of the node and boosts how fast the node does operations.^[2]

Filters

The filter quests branch off one starting point. a quest in "Basic Logistics" asks for the Basic Filter. You can set it to whitelist or blacklist, and choose whether it matches NBT data. The three quests below only unlock after it.^[2]

• a quest in "Basic Logistics" asks for the Counting Filter. You set a number on it, and the card then waits until that many items are present. It also leaves that amount in the first inventory.^[2]
• a quest in "Basic Logistics" asks for the Mod Filter, which matches any item from the same mod as the item you put in.^[2]
• a quest in "Basic Logistics" asks for the Tag Filter. You pick a tag from an item or type one in yourself.^[2]
