Cable Tiers guide for Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.45.4

Same as in the All the Mods 10 4.10 guide

Cable Tiers is an add-on for Refined Storage and RSRequestify. It gives you upgraded versions of the Importer, Exporter, Constructor, Destructor, Disk Manipulator, Interface and Requester. The project page also lists the Autocrafter in its title. If your storage network is already running and you want more throughput without building a lot more cables, this mod is for you.^[1]

The three tiers

• Elite: 9 more filter slots and 2x faster.^[1]
• Ultra: 27 more filter slots, 5x faster, with a stack upgrade integrated.^[1]
• Mega: 45 more filter slots, 6.5x faster, with a stack upgrade integrated.^[1]

Those figures come from the mod's project page. I have no pack-specific config or recipe changes to show you for them.^[1]

Special features

• Tag filtering.^[1]
• Side-specific inputs for autocrafting.^[1]
• An import mode for Autocrafters.^[1]

In this pack

The pack includes Cable Tiers 1.21.1-0.2.6 for NeoForge. It was first added in version 2.43 or earlier, so it is a long-standing part of the modlist.^[2]

Unverified The sources I have do not show this mod on the ATM Star path or in any quest, and no in-jar guidebook was found. Treat it as an optional upgrade for your Refined Storage setup rather than a guided progression step.

Same as in the Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.51.4-hotfix-2 guide

Cable Tiers adds upgraded versions of the Importer, Exporter, Constructor, Destructor, Disk Manipulator and Interface from Refined Storage, plus an upgraded Requester from RSRequestify. Every device comes in the Elite, Ultra and Mega tiers.^[1]

What each tier gives you

• Elite: 9 more filter slots and 2x faster.^[1]
• Ultra: 27 more filter slots, 5x faster, and a stack upgrade built in.^[1]
• Mega: 45 more filter slots, 6.5x faster, and a stack upgrade built in.^[1]

This pack sets the speeds in its config, and they match those multipliers: 2 for Elite, 5 for Ultra and 6.5 for Mega. That holds for the constructor, destructor, disk manipulator, exporter, importer and interface of each tier. For example, [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Elite Tier Options.eliteConstructorSpeed]] is 2 and [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Mega Tier Options.megaExporterSpeed]] is 6.5. Constructor, destructor and disk manipulator speeds accept values from 1.0 to 20.0. Exporter, importer and interface speeds accept 1.0 to 9.0.^[1][3]

What each device does

• Elite Constructor: the mod describes it as faster placing and dropping. The Mega version is even faster, and the Ultra version is faster with an integrated stack upgrade.^[4]
• Elite Destructor: faster breaking and collecting. The Ultra version adds more filter slots and an integrated stack upgrade.^[4]
• Elite Disk Manipulator: faster manipulating. The Ultra version adds more filter slots and an integrated stack upgrade.^[4]
• Elite Exporter and Elite Importer: the Mega versions are described as even faster at exporting and importing. The Ultra versions add more filter slots and an integrated stack upgrade.^[4]
• Elite Interface: faster exporting and importing of items. It has separate Export and Import screens. The Mega Interface handles exporting and importing at the same time, even faster, and the Ultra Interface adds more slots and an integrated stack upgrade.^[4]
• Elite Requester: the Mega Requester is described as even faster at requesting, and the Ultra Requester adds more slots and an integrated stack upgrade.^[4]

The mod's page also lists these special features: tag filtering, side-specific inputs for autocrafting, and an import mode for Autocrafters.^[1]

Energy cost and requester limits

Each tier has an energy cost multiplier in the config. In this pack it is 2 for Elite ([[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Elite Tier Options.eliteEnergyCost]]), 3 for Ultra ([[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Ultra Tier Options.ultraEnergyCost]]) and 4 for Mega ([[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Mega Tier Options.megaEnergyCost]]). So the faster tiers cost more power to run.^[3]

The Requester also has a maximum craft amount per tier: 2,000 for Elite, 4,000 for Ultra and 6,000 for Mega. These are set with [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Elite Tier Options.eliteRequesterMaxCraftAmount]], [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Ultra Tier Options.ultraRequesterMaxCraftAmount]] and [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Mega Tier Options.megaRequesterMaxCraftAmount]].^[3]

Upgrading through the tiers

The pack changed the crafting recipes for these devices. The constructor shows the pattern, and the destructor, disk manipulator, exporter and importer each have their own Elite, Ultra and Mega recipes.^[5]

Same as in the Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.51.4-hotfix-2 guide

Everything for Cable Tiers lives in one file, config/cabletiers-common.toml, split into an Elite, an Ultra and a Mega section. Each tier has the same set of options: a speed for each upgraded part, an energy cost multiplier and a maximum craft amount for the requester.^[3]

Speed options

Each tier has a speed option for its constructor, destructor, disk manipulator, exporter, importer and interface. In this pack, every one of those is set to the same number within a tier. That number matches the speed multiplier the mod's project page advertises for that tier, so the pack keeps these speeds in line with that description.^[1][3]

• Elite: 2 for every speed option, for example [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Elite Tier Options.eliteExporterSpeed]] and [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Elite Tier Options.eliteConstructorSpeed]].^[1][3]
• Ultra: 5 for every speed option, for example [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Ultra Tier Options.ultraImporterSpeed]] and [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Ultra Tier Options.ultraDestructorSpeed]].^[1][3]
• Mega: 6.5 for every speed option, for example [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Mega Tier Options.megaInterfaceSpeed]] and [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Mega Tier Options.megaDiskManipulatorSpeed]].^[1][3]

Energy cost and requester limits

The energy cost options are multipliers (any value above 0), and the requester options set the maximum craft amount (any value above 1). Here is how the pack sets them, tier by tier:^[3]

• Elite: [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Elite Tier Options.eliteEnergyCost]] is 2 and [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Elite Tier Options.eliteRequesterMaxCraftAmount]] is 2,000.^[3]
• Ultra: [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Ultra Tier Options.ultraEnergyCost]] is 3 and [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Ultra Tier Options.ultraRequesterMaxCraftAmount]] is 4,000.^[3]
• Mega: [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Mega Tier Options.megaEnergyCost]] is 4 and [[config:config/cabletiers-common.toml#Mega Tier Options.megaRequesterMaxCraftAmount]] is 6,000.^[3]

So the higher the tier, the more energy its parts cost and the bigger the batch the requester can order.^[3]

Unverified The sources do not show the mod's own default values for the energy cost and requester max craft amount options, so it is unconfirmed whether the pack changed them.
