Create Stock Bridge in FTB Skies 2

Create Stock Bridge connects two of the biggest storage systems in modded Minecraft: Create's stock network and Applied Energistics 2. It's built for you if you run a Create factory and an AE2 network in the same world and want them to share items instead of staying separate.^[1]

The mod adds a single block, the AE Stock Bridge, which links the two storage systems together. Once it's set up, items in the Create Stock system show up as craftable items in AE. Create can also request stored items from AE through the bridge, as long as you have a packager connected.^[1]

It needs both Create and AE2 to work, and both are part of this pack.^[1]

Version and progression

This pack ships Create Stock Bridge 0.2.0, built for Minecraft 1.21.1.^[2]

In the quest book, the bridge has its own quest in the Create chapter: "AE Stock Bridge" quest. Its task is to obtain the AE Stock Bridge, and it unlocks after the quest "Stock Ticker" quest. So the pack treats the bridge as a Create-chapter goal that you reach once you've got the basics of Create going.^[3]

Unverified No in-jar guidebook was found for this mod, and the sources don't show the bridge's crafting recipe or any config options, so check the recipe in-game before planning around it. This site does hold FTB Skies 2's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Create Stock Bridge is a small add-on with one job: it links Create's stock network with your AE2 storage. Everything in this section revolves around a single block, the AE Stock Bridge. The mod needs both Create and AE2, so you need both in play to use it.^[1][4]

Once it's linked, items in the Create stock system show up as craftable items in AE. Create can also request items stored in AE through the bridge, as long as a packager is connected.^[1]

Step by step

1. Get your Create stock side and your AE2 side ready. The bridge recipe uses parts from both mods, so there's no point rushing it before you have both.^[1][5]
2. Craft the AE Stock Bridge with the recipe below. The pack's Create quest chapter has a quest that asks you to obtain it: "AE Stock Bridge" quest. It unlocks after another quest in that chapter.^[3][5]
3. Right-click the bridge to bind it to the stock network before you place it.^[4]
4. Place it, then set the AE Stock Bridge address to match the Frogport address.^[4]

This is the pack's recipe for the AE Stock Bridge.

What you get once it's set up

• AE can request items by 'crafting', so stock from the Create network appears as craftable items in your AE system.^[1][4]
• Create can request stored items from AE. This needs a packager connected to the bridge.^[1][4]

Create Stock Bridge is a small compatibility mod with one job: it connects the Create stock network to your AE2 storage. Everything revolves around a single block, the AE Stock Bridge.^[1][4]

What the bridge does

Items in the Create stock system show up in AE as craftable items. That means AE can request items from your Create network by 'crafting' them.^[1][4]

It also works the other way. Create can request items stored in AE through the bridge, as long as you have a packager connected.^[1][4]

Setting it up

1. Right-click with the bridge to bind it to the stock network before you place it.^[4]
2. Place the bridge and set its address to match the Frogport address.^[4]
3. If you want Create to pull items out of AE, connect a packager to the bridge.^[1]

Crafting the bridge

The bridge is crafted from parts of both mods, including a Stock Link, a Stock Ticker, an ME Interface and an Engineering Processor. Here is the exact recipe used in the pack:^[5]

What the sources don't cover

Unverified The sources don't explain power use, fluid handling, throughput limits, or how many bridges one network supports. The pack also has no config files for this mod. Test these in your own world before you rely on them.

There isn't a tier ladder for this mod in the pack. The only thing the sources show is one item, the AE Stock Bridge, and a single quest that asks you to get it.^[3][5]

The quest

The quest "AE Stock Bridge" quest sits in the Create chapter of the pack's questbook. It has no title. Its one task is the AE Stock Bridge, and it unlocks after you finish "Stock Ticker" quest.^[3]

Crafting the bridge

The bridge is made in a normal crafting table with a shaped recipe. It's listed as a mod recipe, and nothing in the sources says the pack changed it. Here's the exact in-pack recipe:^[5]

What the sources don't cover

Unverified The sources don't show any quest rewards, any further quests or tiers for this mod, or what the AE Stock Bridge does once it's placed. Check it in-game before building your setup around it.

Create Stock Bridge is all about connecting two mods: Create and Applied Energistics 2. The mod requires both, and its job is to link Create's stock network with your AE2 storage system.^[1]

The AE Stock Bridge

The AE Stock Bridge is the block that joins the two systems. Items in the Create stock system show up as craftable items in AE. Going the other way, Create can request stored items from AE through the bridge, as long as a packager is connected.^[1]

The crafting recipe pulls in parts from both sides. It uses Create's Stock Link and Stock Ticker, plus AE2's ME Interface and Engineering Processor. Here is the exact in-pack recipe:^[5]

Quest progression

The pack has a quest for this in the "create" chapter: "AE Stock Bridge" quest. Its task is to obtain the AE Stock Bridge, and it unlocks after an earlier quest in the same chapter.^[3]

Unverified The sources don't confirm whether this pack changes any Create Stock Bridge settings or adds other cross-mod recipes beyond the AE Stock Bridge recipe, so treat anything beyond that as unconfirmed.

In this pack, the mod shows up in just one quest chapter: the "create" chapter. That's the only place the sources show it being used, so the section is short.^[3]

The quest is "AE Stock Bridge" quest, which has no title in the pack. Its task is an item task: you need to obtain AE Stock Bridge.^[3]

It comes after another quest in the same chapter, with the id 170CE041C0312188. That means you need to finish that earlier quest before this one opens up. The sources don't say what that earlier quest asks for, so I can't tell you what to do there.^[3]

Unverified The sources don't show any rewards for this quest, and they don't show whether other chapters also use this mod. Check the in-game quest book for those details.
