AE Additions
by masteryoda
AE Additions extends Applied Energistics 2 with larger storage cells, fluid and gas monitors, and a wireless channel bridge between dimensions.
What it does
Players who run an Applied Energistics 2 network can add storage cells with capacities of 1024k, 4096k, 16384k and 65536k, along with new cell types and new CPUs. The fluid and gas tools include a Fluid Storage and Conversion Monitor, a Fluid Filler, a Fluid Crafter and a Gas Level Emitter, and the fork includes fixes for frame-rate lag. The mod originated as a fork of Extra Cells 2 and adds features on top of it.
Installation needs Applied Energistics 2 and Kotlin for Forge, and the mod is built for Forge and NeoForge. Files exist for 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 6.0.2 for 1.21.1. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source.
Key features
Larger storage cells
Cells with 1024k, 4096k, 16384k and 65536k capacity, including item-only variants, extend an existing network.
Fluid and gas tools
A Fluid Filler, a Fluid Crafter and a Gas Level Emitter handle fluids and gases inside the network.
Dimensional channel bridge
A broadcaster sends Applied Energistics 2 channels to receivers in other areas, limited only by power, with one broadcaster per channel.
Super Storage Cell
A single cell can store several types, so the separate item, fluid and chemical cells are no longer needed to build one.
