About this project

What does Mechanical Storage add?

1.0.1 update fluid/tank visable via connector and adjusted ui buttons for items/fluids/items+fluids and combined AZ/Qt. Items now only go into Inv that have that given resource.
1.0.2 Moving contraptions/Create:aero compat fixed. Connectors on contraptions connect to system if in motion.
1.0.3 Added ponder tutorial.

Mechanical Storage is a Create-powered storage network mod designed to give you large, centralized storage without replacing Create-style automation.

Instead of using cables or digital power, the system works through Create kinetic networks. Connect storage blocks such as chests, vaults and supported modded inventories with Mechanical Storage Connectors, then access everything from a Terminal. If the terminal and connectors are not connected to the same powered kinetic network, the storage network will not function.

The mod currently includes:

  • Storage Connector
  • Cogwheel Connector
  • Terminal
  • Crafting Terminal
  • Create Filter support
  • Search and sorting
  • Adjustable terminal size
  • JEI integration
  • Create-style operation – terminals and connectors depend on rotational power and the kinetic network they are attached to rather than FE/RF or conventional storage cables.

The main idea is: build your storage system as part of your Create factory. Your belts, vaults, drawers, chests and other inventories can remain physically useful parts of the factory while Mechanical Storage gives you one convenient place to see and interact with everything.
