Refined Storage

Refined Storage (RS or RS2) is a mass storage mod that offers a network-based storage system.\ \ To get started with the mod, you'll want to make the Controller.\ \ The Controller is the 'Core' of your storage network. When provided with power, it gives life to all RS components connected.

Asks for: Controller

The Wrench is a tool that can do two things: - Rotate blocks. - Break Refined Storage covers. Simply sneak + right-click when using the Wrench.

To store your items, you'll need to create disks, which can be stored inside Disk Drives that are attached to your network. These have 8 slots for Storage Disks

The Security Manager allows you to grant access and permissions to users within your network.\ \ When placed in your system, you'll need a Security Card for each player you'd like to configure permissions for. When no cards are present, everyone has access to all permissions.\ \ To restrict permissions and access to all unconfigured players, configure a card that isn't bound to a player and put it into the manager. The person who placed the Security Manager will always have access to it.

Because of the Controller limit, you'll probably end up wanting to connect different systems to your main hub without a billion cables connecting them. This is done using Network Transmitters and Network Receivers. Transmitters should be connected to your main system, wherever your Controller is. The Receiver should go wherever you want your external network to be. For example, this can be a separate part of your base where you have Bees, a mob farm, etc. To connect the Receiver to your main network, you'll need to use a Network Card. To bind the Network Card, right-click on the Receiver, and then place the Network Card into the Transmitter that is attached to your main system

Great! We can store things virtually, but how do we see what's in the network? To access the system, you'll need to create a Grid. This is the most basic form of 'Display' for the items in your network. The Grid can store Items, Fluids, Energy, Source, Souls, and Chemicals.

Asks for: Grid

The Crafting Grid lets you access your storage, but with a crafting interface! Let's be honest, nobody uses regular Grids.

Patterns are the bread and butter of autocrafting. These store recipes to let your RS network know how to craft items.

Asks for: Pattern

The Pattern Grid allows you to imprint recipes onto Patterns for your network. The easiest way to create a recipe for a Pattern is to look up the item in JEI, then click the '+' button on the bottom right of the recipe. This will then place the recipe into the grid. On the right side, the top slot is used for storing blank Patterns. With a blank Pattern inside, you should be able to click the Arrow underneath to imprint the recipe onto the Pattern. You'll then want to put the Pattern into an Autocrafter!

Asks for: Pattern Grid

The Autocrafter is how we store Patterns for our network to know how to craft items. Once a recipe is placed into the machine, you'll be able to 'Request' an item to be crafted from your Grid. You can do this by pressing Control + Shift whilst clicking on the item you have a recipe for to bring up the crafting interface. This block can also be placed facing a machine to use Processing Patterns. For example, if you point the Autocrafter at a Furnace, you can put a recipe inside for a recipe you need a Furnace for, like smelting Raw Processors. As long as the Autocrafter is attached to your system and the Furnace has an Importer attached to it, the Crafter will allow you to request the smelted version of the Processor!

Cables are used to connect blocks and items to your system.\ \ Early on, you can get by with placing blocks next to each other to connect them to your system, but Cables allow you to extend out! This is a staple for any large RS network.

Asks for: Cable

External Storage is a type of cable interface that is one of the most important items one can make in their Refined Storage journey. This type of cable interface connects an external storage to your network. It basically lets RS look into the storage container to let you access it within your Grid! This works on many things, including but not limited to: Chests, Barrels, Drawers, Drawer Controllers, and more! If you can't make drives and have a bunch of chests everywhere, this is your best bet in creating a storage network!

Asks for: External Storage

The Speed Upgrade does exactly what it says it does. It increases the speed at which the interface/block works. Need an importer to pull faster? Want your crafters to work faster? This is the upgrade! The Stack Upgrade increases the speed of transfer to a stack of items, rather than just one. Combine with Speed Upgrades for more efficient networks!

Asks for: Speed Upgrade, Stack Upgrade

The Constructor is an interface that will place a designated block in the direction it is pointed. You can designate the block within the GUI. This can be useful for automation!

Asks for: Constructor

The Regulator Upgrade allows you to maintain a certain amount of items within a block or machine. A great example of this is telling your network that you want to keep 64 Coal within a Furnace. You'd place the upgrade in an Exporter attached to a Furnace, then set it to 64. Your system will then try to keep the Furnace full of fuel! But what if you need an item that is crafted? The Crafting Upgrade does exactly this. If you have the recipe inside of an Autocrafter, adding this upgrade to an interface will let it know to craft it if you run out. Using our example from before, let's say we have a Mystical Agriculture farm going and have Coal Essence. We can then put the Coal recipe in an Autocrafter connected to our system, then place this upgrade in the same Exporter that is keeping the Furnace fueled. If you run out of Coal in your system, the Crafting Upgrade allows your system to craft some more!

It's time to create the 'Hard Drives' of Refined Storage. To do this, we'll need a Storage Housing that we'll combine with a Storage Part to create a Storage Disk. Just simply make the desired size of the part, then combine with a Storage Housing to create a disk. The Storage Disk is used to store your items virtually once placed inside of the Disk Drive. It has to be put in a Disk Drive. The Storage Disk won’t despawn when dropped in the world.
