MEGA Cells is a mod in All the Mods 10 8.3, where it is version 4.11.0. ME Greater Accumulation: For when kilobytes just won't do. (Summary from the mod's Modrinth page.)

What is MEGA Cells?

3 parts

MEGA Cells is an add-on for Applied Energistics 2 that pushes your ME storage way past the normal limits. It adds higher storage tiers from 1M all the way up to 256M, plus some specialised storage cells and extra tooling to go with them.[1]

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships MEGA Cells version 4.11.0, and the mod has been in the pack since version 2.25 or earlier.[2]

Who it's for

If you're deep into a big modpack, you'll eventually find that even the best standard storage cell can't keep up with everything you're hoarding. That's exactly where MEGA Cells comes in, taking your storage tiers into megabyte territory.[3]

What you get

  • Five new storage component tiers, each four times bigger than the last, starting with the 1M MEGA Storage Component at 1,048,576 bytes and topping out with the 256M MEGA Storage Component at 268,435,456 bytes.[3]
  • The MEGA Bulk Item Storage Cell, which holds only one item type but a practically infinite amount of it. You have to filter it with a Cell Workbench before it will accept anything.[3][4]
  • Bigger crafting CPU parts, including a coprocessor that gives four threads per block, and a MEGA Pattern Provider that holds 18 processing patterns.[5]
  • The Superdense Energy Cell, which stores up to 12.8 million AE, plus extras like the double-capacity MEGA Interface and the compact ME Cell Dock.[6][7]

Where it fits in the pack

Your first real goal is Sky Steel, an alloy you make by melting materials down in a hot fluid, because water won't do the job. You then turn Sky Steel into the Accumulation Processor, which is the backbone of almost every MEGA device.[1]

In the Applied Energistics 2 quest chapter, "1M Storage Component" quest unlocks after the 256k Storage Component. From there, each quest steps you up one tier, ending at "256M Storage Component" quest.[3]

MEGA Cells is also on the ATM Star path. "256M Portable Item Cell" quest asks for the 256M Portable Item Cell, which needs that tough 256M component. To craft the Improbable Probability Device you need two of these cells, two Blastproof Casing, or one of each, as tracked by "Either or Blastproof Casings and 256M Portable Item Cells" quest.[8]

Tip: The quest text warns that the 256M component is much harder to make. If repetitive crafting wears you down, the Blastproof Casing route is a valid alternative for the Improbable Probability Device.[8]

How do you get started with MEGA Cells?

6 parts

MEGA Cells is an add-on for Applied Energistics 2 that adds storage tiers from 1M all the way up to 256M, plus some specialised cells and tools. Before any of that, you need a new material and a new processor. Here's the order that gets you there.[1]

Step 1: Make Sky Steel

Everything in MEGA starts with Sky Steel, an alloy ingot made with Iron. Water won't be enough for this metalwork. You need a much hotter fluid to melt the materials down and turn them into the alloy, so plan for that before you start stockpiling.[1]

Step 2: The Accumulation Processor

Once you have Sky Steel, you can build the Accumulation Processor. It's the backbone of almost every MEGA device, from the bigger storage cells to the specialised tools. In this pack, every MEGA storage component recipe from 1M to 256M uses it, so make a good batch.[1][9]

Step 3: Your first MEGAbyte

Your first real goal is the 1M MEGA Storage Component, which gives you 1,048,576 bytes, or 1024k, of storage. It's built on top of a 256k ME Storage Component, so you need to reach the top of regular AE2 storage first. That's why the "1M Storage Component" quest quest follows the 256k Storage Component quest.[3][9]

Step 4: A housing to put it in

Bigger components need a sturdier housing, and this is where more Sky Steel comes in. Craft a MEGA Item Cell Housing and pair it with your M-tier component to get a working item cell.[9][10]

Want fluids too? Sky Stone can also be alloyed with copper to make Sky Bronze, which goes into the MEGA Fluid Cell Housing. For Mekanism chemicals there's the MEGA Chemical Cell Housing, which uses Sky Osmium. Heads up: the pack has changed the chemical housing recipe, so check the in-pack version below rather than an older guide.[9][10]

Step 5: Climb the tiers

From 1M, each component feeds into the next: 4M MEGA Storage Component, then 16M MEGA Storage Component, 64M MEGA Storage Component and finally 256M MEGA Storage Component. Each one needs the previous tier plus another Accumulation Processor. The quests from "4M Storage Component" quest through "256M Storage Component" quest walk you up the chain.[3][9]

Tip: Portable MEGA cells are crafted with a Dense Energy Cell and are hungry for power. They only accept the Greater Energy Card to boost their battery, so the regular Energy Card won't cut it.[6][9][10]

Optional early pick: the Bulk Item Cell

If you have one resource that just keeps piling up, the MEGA Bulk Item Storage Cell holds a single item type in practically infinite amounts. It uses its own Netherite housing instead of the normal ones, and the pack has changed its recipe. It won't take anything until you filter it on a Cell Workbench first. The "Bulk Item Storage" quest quest covers it.[3][4][9]

How does MEGA Cells work?

8 parts

MEGA Cells is an add-on for Applied Energistics 2. It adds bigger storage tiers, from 1M all the way up to 256M, plus some specialised cells and extra tools that plug straight into your existing ME network.[1]

Almost everything in the mod is built around one new part: the Accumulation Processor. You make it from Sky Steel, an alloy that needs a fluid much hotter than water to produce. Think of the Accumulation Processor as the backbone of nearly every MEGA device, so plan to make plenty of it.[1]

Storage components and housings

MEGA storage components continue the normal AE2 cell progression past 256k. The first tier is 1M, which equals 1024k, and the top tier is 256M. That's over one thousand times the capacity of a 256k cell. Each tier is crafted from the one below it, so you work your way up through 1M MEGA Storage Component, 4M MEGA Storage Component, 16M MEGA Storage Component, 64M MEGA Storage Component and finally 256M MEGA Storage Component.[9][10]

These bigger components need a sturdier housing, and each storage type gets its own. Items use the MEGA Item Cell Housing and fluids use the MEGA Fluid Cell Housing, which is made from Sky Bronze, another Sky Stone alloy. There's also a MEGA Chemical Cell Housing for chemicals.[9][10]

Portable cells

Just like AE2, MEGA has portable versions of its cells. Their larger capacity makes them much more power-hungry, so their recipes use a stronger energy cell than regular portable cells do. They accept the same full range of upgrades as normal ME portable cells.[9][10]

Watch out: The regular Energy Card isn't strong enough for MEGA portable cells. To expand their battery, you need the Greater Energy Card.[6][10]

The pack has also changed the portable chemical cell recipes, from the 1M Portable Chemical Cell up to the 256M Portable Chemical Cell, so use the in-pack recipe.[9]

The Bulk Item Cell

The Bulk Item Cell works the opposite way to a normal cell. A standard cell can hold up to 63 different item types. The Bulk Cell holds only one type, but it stores a practically infinite amount of that item.[4]

The Bulk Cell doesn't use any of the regular AE2 or MEGA housings. It has its own dedicated Netherite housing, which is always crafted together with its component. Because of this, you can't disassemble it back into parts.[4]

  1. Craft a Bulk Cell. A fresh one does nothing until you give it a filter.[4]
  2. Partition the cell to the one item you want it to store. From then on, it pulls in that item and takes priority as the first place that item gets sent.[4]
  3. Keep the filter matching the stored item. As long as it does, the cell accepts insertion and extraction like any other cell.[4]
Watch out: If the filter gets cleared or changed while the cell holds items, the cell errors out with a mismatched filter and stops accepting new items. You can still pull out the existing contents. Once you restore the original filter, or empty the cell and set a new filter, it works normally again.[4][11]

About the "infinite" part: your ME network can only handle and display up to about 9.2 quintillion of any single item type. The Bulk Cell itself can track amounts beyond that limit, and it will at least hint that it has gone past it.[4]

Bulk Compression

Some resources, like metal ingots, also come as nuggets and blocks. The Compression Card is an upgrade that only works in the Bulk Cell. With it installed, the cell recognises those variant forms, accepts them, and compresses them automatically as they go in.[4]

Compression follows the item's crafting recipes. Say one ingot crafts into 9 nuggets and 9 nuggets craft back into one ingot. A compression-enabled Bulk Cell set to that metal will then take both forms and turn every 9 nuggets into an ingot on the fly. This extends up the whole chain, including blocks and even further-compressed blocks from other mods.[4]

Behind the scenes, the cell counts everything as the smallest unit the resource breaks down into, such as a nugget, shard or dust. That means you can extract any variant in the chain, either through automation or by Shift-clicking in a terminal.[4]

Unverified The mod's tooltips mention a Bulk Compression Cutoff setting and "trace units" shown on Bulk Cells. The available sources don't explain how either of these works.

Radioactive Chemical Cell

This cell only exists if you're playing with Mekanism and Applied Mekanistics. Regular chemical cells refuse radioactive chemicals such as Nuclear Waste, Polonium and Plutonium, and the Radioactive Chemical Cell stores nothing but those.[12]

Like the Bulk Cell, it holds just one chemical type and must be partitioned before it works. Unlike the Bulk Cell, its capacity is finite: 256 bytes, which works out to 2,048 buckets, or 4 Nuclear Waste Barrels' worth, in a single cell.[12]

Watch out: Watch your power budget. While it sits in a connected ME Chest or Drive, a Radioactive Chemical Cell draws 250 AE/tick. For comparison, the source lists typical cell draws of 0.5, 2.5 and 5 AE/t.[12]
Tip: By default, the Radioactive Cell refuses Spent Nuclear Waste. All the Mods 10 turns spentNuclearWasteAllowed on, so in this pack you can store Spent Nuclear Waste in it too.[12][13]

Auto-crafting

MEGA adds larger crafting storage tiers for AE2 crafting CPUs, giving you more memory for really big crafting jobs. These MEGA units need their own dedicated MEGA version of the CPU block to handle their extra power. There's also a matching MEGA crafting monitor, which works exactly like the normal one and just keeps your multiblock looking consistent.[5]

The MEGA co-processor gives you 4 co-processing threads per block, so you get far more parallel crafting out of the same space.[5][11]

The MEGA Pattern Provider doubles the normal pattern capacity to 18 patterns. The catch is that it only accepts processing patterns.[5][11]

Energy

The Superdense Energy Cell holds 8 times as much energy as AE2's dense cell and 64 times as much as a standard energy cell, up to 12.8 million AE per block. That makes it great for big Spatial IO setups or anything else that needs a huge energy buffer.[6]

The Superdense Energy Cell also leads into the Greater Energy Card, which gives an even bigger buffer to wireless gear like portable cells and wireless terminals. AE2's own devices accept it just like a regular Energy Card.[6]

Extra network parts

  • MEGA Interface: a double-capacity interface, with twice the slots, twice the I/O and throughput, and twice the stock-keeping.[7]
  • Portable Cell Workbench: a handheld version of the cell workbench that can still configure any storage cell.[7]
  • ME Cell Dock: holds a single storage cell and is a flat cable part, so you can fit several docks on one cable block. It has no built-in terminal, but it makes a handy buffer for compact subnetworks.[7]

How do you progress through MEGA Cells?

5 parts

In a big pack like this one, even the top standard AE2 storage cells eventually stop being enough for everything you're piling up. That's where MEGA Cells comes in. It pushes your storage into megabyte territory, with tiers running from 1M all the way up to 256M, and it adds a few specialised cells on top.[1][3]

In the Applied Energistics 2 quest chapter, the MEGA line starts with "1M Storage Component" quest, which unlocks after the 256k Storage Component quest. From there, each quest leads straight into the next tier, so the chapter walks you up the ladder one component at a time.[3]

Storage component tiers

There are five MEGA component tiers, and each one holds four times as much as the tier before it. Here's what each quest gives you.[3]

  1. 1M MEGA Storage Component ("1M Storage Component" quest) holds 1,024 kilobytes, or 1,048,576 bytes. This is your first step past the standard 256k tier.[3]
  2. 4M MEGA Storage Component ("4M Storage Component" quest) holds 4,194,304 bytes (4,096k).[3]
  3. 16M MEGA Storage Component ("16M Storage Component" quest) holds 16,777,216 bytes (16,384k).[3]
  4. 64M MEGA Storage Component ("64M Storage Component" quest) holds 67,108,864 bytes (65,536k).[3]
  5. 256M MEGA Storage Component ("256M Storage Component" quest) is the fifth and final tier, holding 268,435,456 bytes (262,144k).[3]

The component recipes in this pack are the standard MEGA Cells recipes, not pack-modified versions. Every tier uses an Accumulation Processor, and each tier above the first takes the previous component, so you'll want a steady supply of processors before you start climbing.[9]

Turning components into cells

A component on its own doesn't store anything. You need to put it into a cell. MEGA has its own housings for this: MEGA Item Cell Housing, MEGA Fluid Cell Housing and MEGA Chemical Cell Housing. For fluid and chemical storage cells you have two ways to craft them. You can build the full cell from scratch, or you can combine a component with a ready-made housing in a shapeless recipe.[9]

Changed by the pack

Watch out: The pack has changed several chemical recipes: the chemical housing, the chemical storage cells (both the from-scratch and with-housing versions) and the portable chemical cells. The portable source cell recipes are changed too. Always go by the in-game recipes shown here, not older guides or videos.[9]

Portable cells

Every tier from 1M to 256M also comes as a portable cell, in item, fluid, chemical and source versions. Each one is a shapeless craft that combines a MEGA component with the matching housing, an ME Chest and a Dense Energy Cell.[9]

Tip: MEGA portable cells are more demanding on power. To expand their battery they only accept the Greater Energy Card, not the regular Energy Card. You craft the Greater Energy Card using the Superdense Energy Cell.[6]

The Bulk Item Cell

Once you've done the Item Storage quest, "Bulk Item Storage" quest points you to the MEGA Bulk Item Storage Cell. It can hold only one item type, but it stores a practically infinite amount of it. Before it will accept anything, you have to filter it with a Cell Workbench.[3][4]

The Bulk Cell doesn't use any of the normal housings. You always craft it from scratch with its dedicated MEGA Bulk Storage Component, and you can't disassemble it afterwards. The pack has changed this recipe, so check the one below.[4][9]

The ATM Star connection

MEGA Cells also shows up in Chapter 3: The ATM Star. The "256M Portable Item Cell" quest quest asks you for a 256M Portable Item Cell, and the quest itself warns that the 256M component is the hard part.[8]

The Improbable Probability Device needs two parts from a shared pool. You can use two 256M Portable Item Cells, two Blastproof Casings, or one of each. The "Either or Blastproof Casings and 256M Portable Item Cells" quest quest accepts either one. If you hate repetitive crafting, the quest itself suggests going the Blastproof Casing route.[8]

How does MEGA Cells work with other mods?

4 parts

MEGA Cells is an add-on for Applied Energistics 2, and All the Mods 10 ties it into a surprising number of other mods. Its metals, processors, storage components and energy cells show up in recipes from Advanced AE, ExtendedAE, Expanded AE, All The Compressed, Powah, Mekanism and the pack's own KubeJS scripts. Many of these recipes were added or changed by the pack, so what you see here may differ from other packs.[9]

Sky metals

You don't have to stick to one machine for Sky Steel Ingot, Sky Bronze Ingot and Sky Osmium Ingot. Each has an Advanced AE reaction recipe and an ExtendedAE Crystal Assembler recipe, and the pack has changed all of them. On top of that, the pack adds its own Crystal Assembler recipes for Sky Bronze and Sky Osmium.[9]

MEGA also feeds the ATM Star questline. The "256M Portable Item Cell" quest quest asks for a 256M Portable Item Cell, which the pack uses in its Improbable Probability Device recipe. According to the "Either or Blastproof Casings and 256M Portable Item Cells" quest quest, you can use 2 of these cells, 2 Blastproof Casing, or one of each.[8][9]

Tip: The quest itself hints that if repetitive crafting wears you down, the Blastproof Casing route may suit you better, since the 256M component needed for the portable cell is much harder to make.[8]

Pack-added KubeJS cells

The pack adds a whole family of its own KubeJS cells, such as Dirt Cell, Netherrack Cell, Lava Cell and Black Cell. Every one of these recipes consumes a 256M MEGA Storage Component together with compressed blocks from All The Compressed and Allthemodium alloy ingots, so plan on crafting plenty of top-tier components.[9]

You reach that component through the Applied Energistics 2 quest chapter. The "1M Storage Component" quest quest follows AE2's 256k Storage Component, and the chain runs up to the final "256M Storage Component" quest quest.[3]

Unverified What these KubeJS cells actually do once crafted is not covered by the available sources.

Which All the Mods 10 quests use MEGA Cells?

2 parts

MEGA Cells shows up in two quest chapters in this pack. Most of its quests live in the Applied Energistics 2 chapter, where they extend your storage past the standard cell tiers. Then Chapter 3: The ATM Star uses the 256M Portable Item Cell as one route toward the Improbable Probability Device.[3][8]

Applied Energistics 2 chapter

The Applied Energistics 2 chapter has two MEGA Cells branches. One is a single quest for bulk storage. The other is a chain of five storage component tiers that starts where the regular 256k Storage Component leaves off.[3]

The "Bulk Item Storage" quest quest unlocks after the Item Storage quest and asks you for a MEGA Bulk Item Storage Cell. This cell holds only one item type, but it can store a practically infinite amount of that item. You have to filter it in advance with a Cell Workbench before it will accept anything.[3]

Tip: Set the filter on your Bulk Item Storage Cell in a Cell Workbench before you put it in your system. Until it is filtered, it won't accept any item type.[3]

The storage component chain unlocks after the 256k Storage Component quest. Each quest asks for one component, and each tier gives four times the storage of the one before it. Work through them in this order:[3]

  1. "1M Storage Component" quest: craft a 1M MEGA Storage Component, the first MEGA tier, with 1,024 kilobytes (1,048,576 bytes) of storage.[3]
  2. "4M Storage Component" quest: craft a 4M MEGA Storage Component, with 4,194,304 bytes (4,096k) of storage.[3]
  3. "16M Storage Component" quest: craft a 16M MEGA Storage Component, with 16,777,216 bytes (16,384k) of storage.[3]
  4. "64M Storage Component" quest: craft a 64M MEGA Storage Component, with 67,108,864 bytes (65,536k) of storage.[3]
  5. "256M Storage Component" quest: craft a 256M MEGA Storage Component, the fifth and final MEGA tier, with 268,435,456 bytes (262,144k) of storage.[3]

Chapter 3: The ATM Star

The "256M Portable Item Cell" quest quest unlocks after the Applied Energistics quest and asks for a 256M Portable Item Cell. Most of its parts are simple to make, but it also needs the 256M MEGA Storage Component, which the quest itself calls much harder to make.[8]

Next comes "Either or Blastproof Casings and 256M Portable Item Cells" quest, which unlocks after both the Blastproof Casing and 256M Portable Item Cell quests. You need 2 items for the Improbable Probability Device: 2 Blastproof Casing, 2 256M Portable Item Cells, or one of each.[8]

Tip: If lots of repetitive crafting wears you down, the quest suggests making the Blastproof Casing instead of the 256M Portable Item Cell. You can mix and match the two, so pick whichever route suits you.[8]

Which MEGA Cells config options matter?

MEGA Cells doesn't give you a big pile of settings to worry about in this pack. The one option in its common config is spentNuclearWasteAllowed, and it controls whether the Radioactive Chemical Cell is allowed to store Spent Nuclear Waste.[13]

All the Mods 10 8.1 sets this option to true, so you can store Spent Nuclear Waste in a Radioactive Chemical Cell. This is part of the mod's AppMek integration, so it matters if you're running Mekanism fission and want to keep that waste in your ME system.[13]

Unverified It's not confirmed whether true is the mod's default or a value the pack changed.

What changed in MEGA Cells between versions?

1 part

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships MEGA Cells 4.11.0. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 2.25 or earlier, so it has been around for most of the pack's life.[2]

Unverified The pack changelogs only record version numbers, and the mod's own changelogs for these releases weren't available, so what each update actually changed (new features, fixes or balance tweaks) isn't covered here. If you're upgrading an older world, check the MEGA Cells changelog yourself before assuming anything behaves the same.
