Refined Storage - Quartz Arsenal in FTB Evolution 2

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta guide

Refined Storage - Quartz Arsenal is an addon for Refined Storage that adds new tools. If you already run a Refined Storage network, this is the mod that lets you reach it wirelessly.^[1]

Right now it adds the Wireless Crafting Grid and the Creative Wireless Crafting Grid. The Wireless Crafting Grid is a wireless version of the Refined Storage Crafting Grid.^[1]

This pack includes version 2.0.6 of the mod, the NeoForge build.^[2]

Getting the Wireless Crafting Grid working

1. Bind the Wireless Crafting Grid to your storage network by using it on any storage network device.^[1]
2. Make sure the network has at least one Wireless Transmitter installed, because that provides the connectivity.^[1]
3. Keep it charged. It uses energy when you open the view, insert, extract or craft a resource.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

Unverified The sources here do not show any quest chapter or group for this mod, and they do not show it on the ATM Star path, so there is no quest book placement to describe.

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta guide

Quartz Arsenal is a small addon for Refined Storage that adds tools, so your starting point is the Wireless Crafting Grid. It is a wireless version of the regular Crafting Grid, so you can reach your storage network without standing next to it.^[1]

Craft the Wireless Crafting Grid

This is the item to make first, because it is the mod's main tool. Here is the in-pack recipe:^[1][3]

This is the recipe the pack uses for the Wireless Crafting Grid.

Get it working

Crafting it is only half the job. Before the Wireless Crafting Grid does anything, you need to do the following, in order:^[1]

1. Bind it to a storage network by using it on any storage network device.^[1]
2. Make sure the storage network has at least one Wireless Transmitter installed, which gives the grid its connectivity.^[1]
3. Charge the grid. It consumes energy when you open the view, insert, extract or craft a resource.^[1]

Set up quick access

The mod has a keybinding to open the Wireless Crafting Grid, but it starts unbound. Bind a key to it so you can open your network from anywhere.^[1]

Energy use

The mod has config options for the Wireless Crafting Grid's energy capacity and for the energy cost of opening it, crafting, autocrafting, clearing the crafting matrix and transferring a recipe.^[4]

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta guide

Quartz Arsenal is an addon for Refined Storage that adds tools, and its mechanics are simple. The mod adds a Wireless Crafting Grid and a Creative Wireless Crafting Grid. The one to know is the Wireless Crafting Grid, a wireless version of the regular Crafting Grid.^[1]

Setting up the Wireless Crafting Grid

There are a few things to get in place before the grid works. Here they are in order:^[1]

1. Bind the grid to a storage network by using it on any storage network device.^[1]
2. Make sure the storage network has at least one Wireless Transmitter installed. That is what provides connectivity.^[1]
3. Charge the grid, because it consumes energy when you use it.^[1]

This is the in-pack recipe for the Wireless Crafting Grid.

Energy use

The grid consumes energy when you open the view, and when you insert, extract or craft a resource. Keep an eye on its charge, especially if you do a lot of crafting from it.^[1]

The mod has a separate energy setting for each kind of action, plus one for the grid's energy capacity. They cover opening the grid, crafting an item, autocrafting a resource, clearing the crafting matrix, and transferring a recipe.^[4]

Unverified The actual energy capacity and per-action energy costs for the Wireless Crafting Grid live in the mod's config options, and the sources here do not show those values or whether the pack changes them.

Opening the grid

There is a keybinding to open the Wireless Crafting Grid, but it is unbound by default, so you need to assign a key yourself if you want a shortcut.^[1]

Creative Wireless Crafting Grid

The mod also adds a Creative Wireless Crafting Grid. The sources only list it as part of the mod and do not describe how it behaves in this pack, so there is nothing more to cover here.^[1]

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta guide

The only thing I can confirm for this mod in the pack is one crafting recipe: the Wireless Crafting Grid is made with a shaped crafting recipe.^[3]

This is the in-pack shaped crafting recipe for the Wireless Crafting Grid.

Unverified The sources here do not show any tier breakdown or progression order for this mod, and they do not show any quest chapter that guides you through it. If the pack's quest book covers it, that is where the order would be told, but nothing I have confirms it.

Refined Storage - Quartz Arsenal has a small config, and every option in it is about the Wireless Crafting Grid. The Wireless Crafting Grid uses energy when you open the view, insert or extract a resource, or craft, so these values decide how quickly it drains and how much charge it holds.^[1][5]

Good news: this pack does not change any of them. Every value below is the same as the mod default, so you get the stock behaviour.^[5]

Wireless Crafting Grid energy values

• wirelessCraftingGrid.energyCapacity is 1,000, the same as the mod default. This is how much charge the grid holds.^[5]
• wirelessCraftingGrid.openEnergyUsage is 5, the same as the mod default.^[5]
• wirelessCraftingGrid.craftingEnergyUsage is 5, the same as the mod default.^[5]
• wirelessCraftingGrid.clearMatrixEnergyUsage is 5, the same as the mod default.^[5]
• wirelessCraftingGrid.recipeTransferEnergyUsage is 5, the same as the mod default.^[5]
• wirelessCraftingGrid.autocraftingEnergyUsage is 10, the same as the mod default. It is the highest usage value of the group.^[5]

FTB Evolution 2 1.1.0 ships Refined Storage - Quartz Arsenal version 2.0.6. The mod was already in the pack by 1.0.2 or earlier, so it is not a new addition in this release.^[6]

2.0.6

• Fixed compatibility with Refined Storage v3.2.0. This is the only change listed in the mod's 2.0.6 changelog.^[7]

The sources here have no pack changelog entries for this mod, so there is nothing more to report on how it changed between pack releases.^[6]
