Description
BetterStorage
Too many chests, too little overview: BetterStorage links your storage into one shared network. Search, sort and take out everything from a single terminal, and craft straight from the ingredients of the whole network, without hauling materials between chests first.
Looking for the Acid Grounds? Since version 1.0.0 the biome is no longer part of BetterStorage. It now lives on as its own mod: AcidGrounds. The two mods are fully independent, so you can use either one without the other.
Storage Blocks
| Block | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Storage Core | • Heart of the network, exactly one per network • Holds up to 40 benches whose recipes become craftable in the terminal • Slot for the Loading Mechanism |
| Storage Unit | • Simple storage block • 27 stack slots |
| Storage Drive | • Holds up to 10 Storage Cells • Cells from T1 (5 stacks) to T8 (500 stacks) |
| Storage Accessor | • The terminal • Search, sort, store and take out items • Equip and remove armor • Craft with the network's ingredients |
| Storage Observer | • Shows the network status • Blocks, capacity, loaded chunks |
| Connection Pipe | • Connects the blocks • Only pipes connect: two devices side by side are not a network yet |
| Storage Assembler I–IV | • Bench for all storage components • Upgradeable tier by tier, unlocks larger cells |
| Loading Mechanism | • Placed in the Storage Core • Keeps the network's chunks loaded (up to 64) • Terminals work even far away from the core |
New Materials
Big networks have to be earned. The Metal Press turns ores into plates, foil and wire, while the Glass Smelter provides glass, sulfur and sulfuric acid. From these you build circuit boards, resistors, processors and memory modules.
| Bench | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Press | 4 Quartzite Cobble | 1 Quartz |
| Metal Press | 1 Quartz | 8 Quartz Powder |
| Glass Smelter | 1 Quartz Powder + 1 Sand (any type) | 1 Glass |
| Glass Smelter | 8 Volcanic Cobble | 1 Sulfur |
| Glass Smelter | 2 Sulfur + 1 Glass | 1 Sulfuric Acid |
The top tiers lead you deep into the Devastated Lands (Zone 4). Lodestone is mined like any other ore there, Neon Core veins glow further down and give Pulsating Substance, and near the bottom of the world lies the rare WeirdChunk, which nobody can quite explain. BetterStorage adds these ores to the existing world generation without replacing any vanilla files, so it gets along with world generation mods. New ores only appear in chunks that haven't been generated yet.
Dependency: UtilityConnect
BetterStorage requires UtilityConnect 1.0.0.
The library manages the networks: which blocks are linked through pipes, even across server
restarts. It is a hard dependency. Without it in the mods folder, the server won't load
BetterStorage.
