ControllerPlus
by Excal1bur
ControllerPlus is a NeoForge addon for Applied Energistics 2 that adds a higher-capacity Controller block, so storage networks can grow without ever larger controller cubes.
What it does
The ControllerPlus block gives an Applied Energistics 2 network more channel capacity than the standard controller, so a storage system can reach the same greater capacity with a significantly smaller footprint. Rather than stacking larger controller cubes as a network expands, a base keeps its controller infrastructure compact and leaves more room for building.
The mod is aimed at players who want cleaner, more compact networks, such as compact storage rooms, tidy base designs and large survival worlds or expert packs. Its textures follow the visual style of Applied Energistics 2, and the block works alongside the existing AE2 gameplay. Applied Energistics 2 is required, and the server and every player need the mod. ControllerPlus is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is published for 26.1.2 alone, with version 0.2.0 as the latest file.
