About this project
What does AE2 Colonies add?
This mod was designed to couple Applied Energistics 2 with Minecolonies. Super simple mod:
How the Colony ME Vault Works
Once connected and powered by your AE2 network, the Colony ME Vault will scan for open Minecolonies requests. If it finds one, it will push items it finds in the AE2 system into the adjacent rack. I recommend putting the vault under the rack. Every few minutes, it will clear attached racks and put them back into the system.
How to use the Colony ME Vault
Build your AE2 system
Build your Colony Warehouse.
Under your main warehouse block, place the Colony ME Vault.
Place a cable that goes from the vault to the AE2 Network. (do not use xPorters or Storage Busses)
**You're done!
Note 1:** If you just want it to control one rack, then place it under one of your racks
Note 2: I tried removing every rack in a test world and just creating the one, in the center - It didn't work. your mileage may vary.
How to Craft

Permissions: Use it all you want wherever you want. Maybe give me credit if you do something super cool with it :)
