Grim Storage Industries

Simple storage that scales to the end game: one network for items, fluids, energy and XP, full autocrafting, buses and its own ore.

Grim Storage Industries

Grim Storage Industries is a storage mod that is easy on day one and still holds up at the end game. Everything you store lives in one network, and the network can craft for you. There are no channels, no byte or type limits and no cable rules. Network blocks join just by touching, and one cable carries everything.

Showcase

Features

  • One network for everything: items, fluids, energy (FE), experience, Mekanism chemicals and Ars Nouveau Source.
  • No limits to learn: cells count items, not types. No channels, no cable rules, no network size cap.
  • Full autocrafting: whole crafting trees, sub-recipes, machine steps from any mod, and a clear list of anything missing.
  • Import and Export Buses that clip onto cable, with filters, and pipes from any mod can plug into them.
  • A terminal you'll actually like: search, @mod search, category tabs, a built-in crafting grid that refills itself, and dark mode by default.
  • Wireless access within 128 blocks, or anywhere in any dimension with the Singularity Terminal.
  • Its own ore, Soulite, and a five-tier progression up to the Singularity Core.
  • Animated, glowing blocks and cells whose tier you can see at a glance.
  • A guide book given to every player on first join, with live recipes.
  • Light on your server: idle buses back off, capabilities are cached, and 255 buses cost about 0.1 ms per tick in testing.

Getting started

  1. Mine Soulite Ore (Overworld, Y -48 to 16) and smelt it into ingots.
  2. Craft a Network Controller, a Soul Drive, a Copper Storage Cell and a Soul Terminal.
  3. Put the cell in the drive and place everything touching. Open the terminal and start storing.
  4. Use Soul Cable to reach anything that isn't touching.

The Grim Storage Guide you get when you first join explains every block and item, with recipes drawn live from the game.

Storage cells

Tier Item cell Fluid / chemical cell Energy cell
Copper 4,096 items 256 buckets 16M FE
Gold 65,536 items 4,096 buckets 256M FE
Diamond ~1 million items 65,536 buckets 4B FE
Netherite ~67 million items ~1 million buckets 64B FE
  • Singularity Cell: one item type with no limit at all. Great for cobblestone and farm output.
  • Experience cells (100k to 2B XP) and Source cells (needs Ars Nouveau) come in the same four tiers.
  • Every cell goes in the same Soul Drive, and cells keep their contents when moved.
  • Each tier has its own color and 1 to 4 lights. Diamond cells shine, and Netherite cells glow with the enchant glint.

Fluids, energy and XP

  • The tabs along the top of the terminal switch between Items, Fluids, Chemicals, Energy, Source and Experience.
  • Click with an empty bucket or tank to fill it, or with a full one to store it.
  • In the Experience tab, click to take a level, shift-click for ten, and right-click to store all of your XP.
  • Liquid XP from other mods is converted automatically.
  • An Import Bus facing open air soaks up dropped items and XP orbs, which makes it perfect under a mob farm.

Autocrafting

  • Recipe Cards: click items into the grid to teach the network a recipe, then put the card in a Soul Assembler. Speed Upgrades double its speed, up to 16x.
  • Processing Cards and the Processing Interface run furnaces and machines from any mod as steps in a craft.
  • Stock Keeper: "always keep 500 of this", and it crafts to keep it topped up.
  • Order a craft from the terminal. The network works out the whole tree, uses what you have, crafts the rest and tells you exactly what's missing.
  • Void Filter: when storage is full, the items you pick are destroyed instead of backing up your farms.

Buses and pipes

  • Import Bus (cyan): takes everything out of a chest, tank, generator or machine and puts it in your network.
  • Export Bus (orange): sends what you pick from your network into the block.
  • Run Soul Cable up to a block and use the bus on it. The bus clips onto the end of the cable, facing the block.
  • Filters: 9 slots, "Only these" or "All but these", exact match or ignore NBT, and an on/off switch for each resource.
  • Placed the wrong one? One button in its screen switches a bus between Import and Export.
  • Pipes from any mod can push into an Import Bus or pull from an Export Bus. The Network Interface works with pipes and hoppers too.

Wireless and quantum

  • Wireless Terminal: link it to your controller and use it anywhere within 128 blocks.
  • Singularity Terminal: any distance, any dimension.
  • Quick dump: press G while carrying a linked terminal to send your whole inventory into storage. Your hotbar and armor stay put.
  • Quantum Link: join two places into one network, even across dimensions.

Compatibility

  • Requires: NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1.
  • Optional: JEI (Soul Infuser recipes get their own page), Mekanism (chemical storage), Ars Nouveau (Source storage). Without them, nothing breaks. The extra cells are just hidden.
  • Any pipe mod that uses standard NeoForge capabilities works with the buses and the Network Interface.
  • Pack makers: every recipe, loot table and ore feature is a datapack file, the guide text can be replaced with a resource pack, and the first-join book can be turned off in the config.

Grim Industries

Grim Storage Industries is part of the Grim Industries family, made for the Nine Craft modpack:

  • Grim Soul Industries: mob farming.
  • Grim Pipe Industries: item, fluid, energy and chemical pipes. They plug straight into Grim Storage buses.
