About this project

What does AE2 Lightning Tech add?

AE2 Lightning Tech

Header Image
AE2 Lightning Tech is an addon for Applied Energistics 2 that turns lightning into a real part of your automation chain. It adds Lightning as a ME-storable resource, builds a material progression around Overload Crystals, and expands AE2 with advanced machines and high-throughput Overloaded network infrastructure.

Features

Lightning System

Collect natural strikes, generate artificial lightning, and store Lightning energy inside your ME network. Lightning works as a dedicated resource used by machines, recipes, and later progression.

Overload Materials

Progress through a new material chain based on Overload Crystals, lightning transformation, crystal growth, advanced alloys, processors, and other key components used across the mod.

Processing Machines

Build a lightning-powered production line with machines for transformation, assembly, crystal catalysis, weather control, and high-throughput parallel processing.

Overloaded ME Network

Upgrade your AE2 infrastructure with Overloaded network components designed for much higher channel capacity, larger pattern workflows, wireless routing, and remote machine connections.

Dependencies

  • Required: Applied Energistics 2
