hello everyone welcome to my refined storage guide for 2024. Three items are added by refined storage, and that is the quartz enriched iron, which is a bunch of iron and some quartz silicon, which is smelted quartz, and processor binding, which is some slime balls and some string. Processor binding is used in all of the recipes for processors, as you might expect. So we've got a processor binding, some silicon, redstone, and iron for the raw basic processor. Now you take the raw basic processor and you smelt that up, and you get yourself a basic processor. It's the same for the gold one, which is the raw improved processor, and then the advanced one, which is using a diamond to get the basic setup that I'm going to show you in a second. You need three of these advanced processors, so that means three diamonds is what you need for this. You also need quite a lot of iron and quite a lot of quartz. So let's start off by saying we need a controller. The controller is the brain of the operation here, so that needs one

Advanced processor, which again is a diamond. It needs machine casing, which is some quartz enriched iron. It needs some silicon and some more quartz enriched iron. It also needs power. So in this case, I'm using a flux point, which is hooked up to my infinite power. You can, as long as you hook the power up directly to the controller like that, it should have power in it. I know a lot of people were having issues with getting power into their controller and um, were confused why I didn't show how to get power. Power is not included with refined storage. You will need another mod to power your refined storage. And the more things you add to refined storage, like I'm going to put a grid and a disc drive on here, you'll see that they take power. So it's two RF for the grid that we've got on there. If I put a storage disc in there, you'll see that it takes one RF for the storage disc. So that's three RF for this tiny little storage thing.

that we've got right here and right now because we have only got a grid. By the way, I'll show you the recipe for the grid that uses a construction core, a destruction core. Both of these are the basic processors with a glowstone and a basic processor with a nether quartz, an improved processor which is the gold one, and glass machine casing which again is the quartz enriched and some more quartz enriched of the back there. And that will craft you a grid. Now the grid itself allows you to just access this as if it was a chest so it gives you access into your refined storage system system. The items that you see in here are actually stored in this 1K storage disc so if I take that out you can see there's nothing in here and I can't place anything into the refined storage right there. There's two ways that you can use refined storage you can either use it with a disc drive like this which allows you to craft a bunch of discs and put them in there discs themselves use

silicon, glass, quartz, enriched iron, and some Redstone. And it's better to craft your discs up. What I mean by that is it takes three of the 1K storage parts to make a 4K storage part. Each storage part, so 1K storage part, can hold 1,000 items exactly. 1,000 items. That doesn't matter if it's a pickaxe, which is half durability, or a shovel, which has got one durability left, or 900 Cobblestone. That can all be stored in the exact same disc. Refined storage doesn't have the type limit either, so it doesn't matter as long as it can go in a slot in a chest, it can go in one of the bits that is in a storage part. Anyway, upgrading a 1K to a 4K, you can see three 1Ks turns into a 4K. So you're actually saving yourself a little bit right there. 16K is three 4Ks. 3 4Ks comes out to

12K and a 64K is 3 16Ks, which comes out to 48. So you're actually getting a free 16K if you're making a 64K. Right there, right now I have a 1K storage disc, which has got items in it, so we can add the rest of these in if we wanted to. Uh, I've got a few bits in here that I think we should be looking at. And first off, I want to look at the external storage. So I mentioned that there's two ways of doing storage with refined storage, and there is disk drives, and then there's also the external storage. So if I stick the external storage on a chest right there and I take the 64K part out. In fact, let's not use the 64K, let's use this furnace. If I put this furnace back in, it's gone into the disk. But if, for example, I take that furnace back out and I set the priority on this external storage to 10, and now I put in the

furnace. It's gone into the chest now. An interesting thing is, let's say we take one of these processor bindings out. So, the processor binding is currently in this storage disk. If I were to put the other processor binding into this chest and I take one of these processor bindings out, just like that, because this is a higher priority, it will take it from the chest first. So, there you go, it's taking it from this chest, the one that is in the disk. Even though this is a lower priority, it will never take out of this one first. It will always search this inventory first. That means that when you put stuff into your system, it will always try and go here first. But it also means when it tries to pull anything out of the system, it would always try and look here first for the thing that you're trying to pull out. So, we put that back in and I take both of them out and then I put them both back in. You can see now they're both in here and there isn't a processor binding in

the disk the external storage is actually really powerful especially if you have large storage mods. So I've got a storage controller right here from functional storage. This is a draw mod, so I've got six of these Oak drawers which I'm going to link up to this. So by right-clicking on this, you can then add drawers to your controller. That's not what I'm here to show you though. What I'm here to show you is if you put an external storage on this. I'm actually going to set the priority on this to 20 because I want things to go here first if they can. Now if we have a look in here, let's take this glass, this Redstone, and let's take a bunch of these processors out as well. Why not? So Redstone, we're going to put up here. We're going to put the glass in like that, all of these different types of processors. Why not? Let's do that one and the destruction as well. There we go. So now, because this is all linked up, you can

see right there that we have access thank you to Jade up in the top there. Jade says that there's 64k of this now. The 63k you can actually right click that back in um but this has got access because of the uh external storage. The uh refined storage system has got access to this drawer all of the drawers on here. You can actually have many drawers on this and you can up the storage on each of the drawers by quite a lot. I think it does go up to Max int of a certain item if you get like the netherite upgrade for the drawers. Anyway, we're not here to talk about functional storage we're here to talk about refined storage so now if I have a look in here again we can see all of this. If I take the glass out I'm going to take out all of the glass you can see it's taken out from there. We put the glass back in let's put it back in up there really useful really really useful and this is the the secondary

storage. You notice that right here, these can't go in there. You can't place these uh basic processors in there. But if I place them in like that, it goes to this chest instead. It's worth mentioning that the disc drive actually also has a priority on it, and you can set it to minus one, which is what I always try to do because that means this is the last place it will try and look before it stores an item or pulls an it out of it, right? So for example, if we've got like some glass that we want to put into our system and uh we forgot to set the priority on this, so this is priority of zero, and this is also priority of zero, right there. If we grab the glass out again and we put the glass back in, it will go into here because this is set to a priority of minus one. Now speaking of the grid, I'm going to show you a couple of bits up here. So there's uh a couple of redstone modes that you can

set on so this is only going to work now if you give it a redstone signal uh or it will only work if it doesn't have a Redstone signal. It actually turns the display off like that if uh if it's not working. So that can be quite useful, especially if it's uh you know if power is an issue for you. You can set the uh the Redstone well you can set the controller up to only work with redstone signal. You can actually put a pressure plate right here just like this, and then when you stand on it, it's giving the controller a redstone signal, and it means that you get access to everything whilst you're standing right here. Come off of it, and it turns everything off again. That only works if the controller is right there though. Uh if you were to huh, it does it the opposite way around as well. I like that. Anyway, we're going to get rid of that. So the grid has got several modes right here, so there's actually an additional mode that you can only get in Crafters.

but we'll talk about that later. You've got a display mode, which is either normal, which is how it is right now, no craftables. So eventually, when you've got Crafters set up, you can actually craft things from this menu right here. And that one there, I think, is only craftables. We don't have any set up right now, so it's not going to show them. And then back to normal. There's the Sorting Direction. So in this case, ascending or descending. So I always like to have mine in descending, so the ones with the most items go at the front. And uh, there's a different type of sorting. So sorting type, we've got quantity, we've got name. So Wireless right there. If we do it the other way around, 4K, 64k, Advanced processor right there, and then basic. So a b cable is C, chest is C, cord is C. Okay, all of these are C's. Uh, there's a lot of C's in there. Okay, there's destruction core right there, D, so on and so on. ID, so these are the IDs that you

find them in Ji uh we've got last modified so I believe if I do that chest was the last modified. If I take these ones out like that put them back in they'll arrive at the top. Take the pattern grid out put it back in that one will go there and then back to quantity. I like to have it on quantity and then we can see you know the thing with the highest quantity in our system. The next thing is the search box mode so there's normal there's normal Auto Select and what that one does is when you open up and you start to type it will automatically type up in the grid right there so that one's quite useful or can be. There's ji synchronized so if we close and then open and then we type in here it's going to type it in ji as well. There's ji synchronized Auto selected which again is if you come out of this and you go back in it's automatically selected up the top there and finally there's ji synchronized two-way which is really good because if you

type in here uh chest for example, and then you click into this, it will automatically change it up here. I always have mine set to ji synchronize two-way, just uh, it's the most neat one, I think. If you've typed some in here outside of your crafting grid, and then you go into your crafting grid, it can, if it's on a different like ji synchronized, it will blank it out, which is sometimes not what you want. And finally, there's the size, so you can have a really small little grid, you can have a medium grid, you can have a large grid, and then you can have the stretched one, which is, it depends on what your gy scale is set to because it does look very different in all the different gy scales. This grid right here is basically a big chest or an interface for a big chest. So what we're going to do is, we're going to actually grab the crafting grid that I had on us right there. So if I get rid of the regular grid and put down a crafting grid, you

can see that, uh, we've got a little crafting area. And what's really nice is, for example, let's make some more cable. So I just hovered over the cable right there and hit R, and it brings up the recipe. And we can do move items, and it will move it from your system over here. Now, what is really nice is that it will actually not use these items right here. It will use the ones from your system. So if I do make these, you see that it took all of the items from our system. It did take a few from here because we didn't have enough. It took all the items from our system, and it used all of these items. So if I close that, put some more back in, perfect. Let's actually put them back in the right place. So next up, we're going to talk about the Importer and exporter. So the easy way to think about the Importer and exporter is that the exporter exports from your system into, uh, inventory, and the Importer Imports it into your system.

into is how I think of the Importer. Another way of doing it is you just have a look at the actual things themselves. You can see right here the Importer is pointing towards the cas cable that we've got right there. So, I'm going to place a cable here, place a cable here, so this is now hooked up to our system, and anything that goes into the chest because of the arrow that you see right here is going to be put into this cable, which will then be put into our system, whether that be over in these drawers or into the chest over here or even into the disc. So, let's grab, I don't know, a piece of glass. I'm going to put a piece of glass in here, and it will be sucked up and put straight back in the system. So, that's the Importer, so we're importing into the system again, arrow, and then the exporter is the opposite. So, you can see again the arrow sort of comes in this direction towards the chest itself, which means is coming from the cable, arrowing into this chest right.

here, so the exporter requires a filter. So, in this case, I'm going to put a filter of let's get some cable. Cable is a good one to see. So, we put the filter of cable right there. You can see our cable's going down right now, and we're losing our cable because it's going into this chest, which is not hooked up to our system at all. So, if I take this back out and I put all of these back in, you'll see it going down and this going up. Very useful. There's a few upgrades you can put in here. So, there's a stack upgrade, which we've got right there, and some speed upgrades. So, the speed upgrade is a load of quartz enriched iron, improved processor, and some glass that makes the upgrade. And then we've got some sugar, which makes it into a speed upgrade. And then you use four speed upgrades and some more sugar to make yourself a stack upgrade. So, that has already put all of the cable in there, but if we put all of the cable back in.

up there, and then put three speed upgrades in here. You'll see that it is much quicker pulling out of the system, way quicker than it was. And if we put a stack upgrade in, it's already done. So we put this 10 in, and it's gone. 64 in, and it's gone because it's already in here. Stack upgrade pulls stacks at a time, and speed upgrades speed everything up. I wanted to just explain what this thing down here is. The exact mode for this. So right now, we've got exact mode on, and I've placed this iron pickaxe with durability of eight into the filter up here. So if I was to just click this and put these in there, so that's iron pickaxe right there and there, those two, which by the way, these are two different ones, do not go into the chest. If I were, for example, to turn fuzzy mode or exact mode off, both of them went into the chest. You can see that they've gone from the system, and obviously this one's going to.

go in as well so that's what uh the exact mode does as long as it's you know similar you know it's got similar stats or whatever so an iron pickaxe is always an iron pickaxe. If it's got enchants on it, then you can always just turn the exact mode off, and it will still pull it out. Doesn't matter what the MBT data is when you uh turn the exact mode off. Now the Importer is also quite interesting because it's got a white list and a black list, so you just change those modes by doing this. So when it's on Blacklist mode, it means anything can be pulled in. So I'm going to do that right here, see all of that cable is being pulled in. If we were to say you're only allowed to bring in by putting a white list of Stack upgrades, it stopped inputting all of the cable, but if I were to put some stack upgrades in there, it will pull that in easy enough. So there's the opposite way.

around as well if I grab that stack upgrade out out again. The Blacklist means that if I put in this stack upgrade just like that and then other stuff, it will only pull the other stuff. It won't pull out the stack upgrade. So there we go, everything has been pulled out except the stack upgrade. Even the speed upgrades will go in. It's worth mentioning as well that the stack upgrade and the speed upgrades do also fit in the Importer. And there are two types that you can do with the import. So it's the same with the exporter. There's fluid types and item types. So fluids mean if you've got a tank or you've got something that is holding liquid, you can with the Importer pull that liquid into the system. So I didn't mention it earlier, but there's actually another type of storage disc which, if we go Refine Storage, that is a the 1K in this case is actually 64 okay fluid storage part. And you can use this with a storage housing, which just looks like this, to make yourself fluid storage.

you can actually, for example, if you've got a tank full of water, you can pull that water into your system and have it stored on a disc. Or you can do the same with lava or any other liquids in the game. However, you can't do both on the same importer. You can have two importers on the same block if they have liquids and items, but they'd have to be on different faces of that block. So now I'm going to give you a little practical sort of look at what you can do with the Importer and Exporter. I'm going to use a furnace as the example. So we've got the Importer right here. I'm actually also going to show you how the wrench works. So I did the Importer on the white concrete right there. So it's trying to import stuff from the white concrete. Can't do anything with that. If you right-click it, it does rotate. So if I do this, it's going to rotate all the way around, and I want it to be pointing upwards. So

now, if I place a furnace on just like that, you can see that. Again, the arrow, you can probably see it better like this. There you go, the arrow is pulling from the furnace right here. And if I shift click, you have to shift click on a furnace because if you right click it with something, it would just open the furnace. So shift click the exporter right there, and I'm going to tell it to export coal. Now, I don't have any coal in the system, so this is not actually going to fill up with coal, but we can put some coal in there right now, and you'll see this is filling up with coal. So that means when you get back from a mining trip, you can just stick all of your coal in your system, and it will automatically fill up all of your furnaces if you've got loads of furnaces along the way. I am going to put some nether quartz into the furnace because this will produce some silicon for us, so we've just been to the

nether. We've got some nether quartz, and we put it in our furnace because we want to make some more refined storage gear. And it just made me a silicon right there. Now I just took half of the nether quartz out of there, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to set it as an export on here. So when we get back from our mining trip and we've got loads and loads of quartz, we don't want quartz, we want silicon. So we're going to put those in here, and you'll see that it's exporting into the furnace. So there you go, it's just automatically smelting all of your items. You can do that with iron, raw iron for example, or raw copper, whatever you fancy. It can just all go in here and automatically be smelted up. In fact, I just got some raw copper and raw iron. I'm going to put those in there like this. And now when the nether quartz is done with. So let's uh, let's pull out.

like a load of nether quartz, so we can see it happen. We go, it's going to start putting in raw copper, and there we are, it's even importing the raw copper or the uh copper ingot, I should say, into the system. So, that's the Importer and the Exporter right there. Next up on the list is I've got a Destructor and a Constructor. So, the Constructor is relatively easy to understand. So, what the Constructor does is when you place it wherever its face is, so that's the blue part, it will place down a block. So, for example, if I take this pattern grid and I use that as the, just like an exporter, it needs a filter. I do that and then I put this here, it's going to place the pattern grid down. It can actually do this with any block. So, for example, uh, I've actually got one of these pieces of osmium ore right here and oh yeah, it put it back down, brilliant. What we could do is we can take that out and we can

put osmium ore as the thing that the Constructor is going to place down. So if I do this, you can vaguely see it off in the corner there. If I do that, there you go, you place the osmium ore. So that's a Constructor. It will place things out into the world. The Destructor is the opposite. So I'm actually going to put the Destructor on the side of it here. Now this isn't linked up because there's no cable going to this. Do have a cable right here. If I were to put the cable down, the Destructor will destroy the osmium ore as if it was mined. Now there's a couple of upgrades that we can put in this. The main upgrade being either a silk touch upgrade or a fortune 1, 2, or 3. And that will, if it's got a fortune 3 for example, do a fortune 3 pickaxe on it. Or if it's silk touch, it will just pick it back up silk touch wise. So I'm going to connect that up right now because this doesn't have

anything in there. It's just given us one raw osmium. What is really nice is we can actually give this a bunch of osmium ore right now. So osmium ore, and this will just mine it up. And that means that we'll get those of the raw osmium. So I have 51 osmium ore. There you go, that's being mined up, placed, and then mined up, placed, mined up. We can also take osmium ore out of here, and we can place it in here. In fact, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to drag and drop it from ji. And there you go. When this is done with all of the raw copper, it will move on to either the nether quartz, the raw iron, or the raw osmium again, just like the Importer. 'Cause the destructor is like an importer but an in-world importer. You can change this to have a white list or a black list. So we're going to whitelist osmium ore. Yeah, let's do that. Osmium ore, there you go, just going to place all

of those things. If we were to put a different item in there for it to place down, so like the Ping grid again. Oh, I've got the Ping grid on me. Brilliant! I place that one down. It's not going to mine it up because it is not allowed to because of the white list. If I turn that white list off, there you go. It's just going to place and break the pattern grid over and over and over. I'm going to turn that one off for now. Next up, I want to show you the pattern grid. So, the pattern grid is what you use for patterns. So, if I put some patterns up in the corner here, we can set up a pattern for an input that becomes an output. So, right here, this is actually just a regular craft. So, for example, if we wanted to set up an AutoCraft for the 1K storage part, we can do that by either putting drag and dropping all of the items in right here. So, we can actually do that. We get rid of the Silicon right there. We can just click it in like

that that writes it to a pattern. And now if we were to put this pattern in a crafter, so there's my crafter right there. This can be anywhere on the system, so I'm going to put it right there. I'm going to put the pattern in right there. If we have a look in the system, you can see we've got the ability to make a 1K storage pot. You don't need any processors or anything like that to get this running, no CPUs or anything like that, you just need to click Start and it will go off and it made me a 1K storage part. Do that again if you want to craft something. So right now if you click on it, it doesn't have anything there, so the only thing you can do is craft, whereas if you've got something in there, if you click on it, you'll pick up the item that's in there. If you want to craft something and you know it's got a recipe behind it in a crafter, then uh, you can click shift control and

then click. If you hold those two down and then click, you can do another. And there you go. You can do that from the pattern grid, you can do it from the crafting grid, wherever. So the side where the like little dot is, the black bit with the little dot with the cross-hatch, this is the side that you can use for processing. So where we've got our exporter up here, if I were to get rid of the exporter, and I'm actually going to get rid of the raw copper that we've got right there, actually put that back in the system for now. So, and I'm going to put everything else away into the system, actually puts it in here instead, which is fine. If we were to take the crafter, for example, and I'm actually going to reuse this pattern, so I'm going to put the pattern right there, and I'm going to say that let's, uh, let's just say that raw iron smelted right there. So this is a processing recipe. So if we were to get

one raw iron. The expected output from the input right here is an iron. So if I do that, that is what is in the pattern right now. And if I were to shift-click that like that, you can sort of see that the face is pointing into the top of the furnace. And now if I put the raw iron into iron recipe into here, and you can see it actually says on there processing. There's two types, there's processing and I think crafting. I don't know what it says for this sort of type. It doesn't say anything. It doesn't say anything at all. Anyway, now what we can do is we can craft. Let's do three. Three iron. We only want three iron. We've got 64 raw iron and we just want three of those irons. So what it's done is it sent three iron into the furnace and it's expecting to get into the system again three iron ingots. So you have to set an input back into the system so the crafter itself won't do anything. Or it

won't complete a craft unless you've got something else pulling into the system. If that makes sense, so a processing pattern is on the left, is the input, on the right is the output. So as we just saw, you can do something like, Okay, let's change that down to one. One of those turns into one iron, and that itself is a recipe. You can actually change this, so let's change this to one raw iron turns into 23 copper ingots, and that technically works. So now if we do this and we want to do some copper ingots, it says to craft it's 23, and available is one raw iron, so it's like, Yeah, I could do that. So it sends one raw iron into here, even though we know that it's not going to bring in a wow 23 copper, we know that that's not going to happen, it still allows it because you could, for example, have 23 copper then spat into here, which is then pulled into the system, and that does complete the craft. Now you can see all

of the crafts that you've got going on right now by having a crafting monitor, which I'm just going to place above the crafting grid, and it shows you all of the crafts you've got going on right now. So let's do two iron, and we can see up here it's processing two raw iron into iron ingots. You can see that right now, there we go, and then when one finishes like that, it gets pulled into the system so it has completed the craft. You can actually cancel that one if you wanted to. So if you're sending 1000 iron into this chest or this furnace right here, you can only accept 64, so it backs up and it waits until it can put more in, and if you cancel it, it will stop trying to put more in. So those are the two basic uses for the crafter. Crafter can be used for many different things, so you could even use it to send items that you know can be processed into a chest, and then you can have.

don't know Ender iio conduit pulling from that and putting it into somewhere else. Or you can use modular routers and uh modular routs will send those items out to all of the places. As long as you have an input and an output, you can do that. Now here is an example of a recipe that we can have that is just a regular recipe. Here is an example of a regular recipe that you will probably use at some point. So if I make a pattern for that and then we use our crafter right here and I place that in. Now we can actually make quartz enriched iron. It's going to take three iron ingots and then one nether quartz. We're actually going to cancel that one because I want to show you uh another thing, which is if we do this and we do pattern for patterns, but you didn't think about that pattern for patterns. So that's going to use the glass, the Redstone, and if we don't have enough of the quartz enriched right here, it will actually do the other.

craft that we've got. So this craft because it's already got that programmed in. So if I place this over here pattern for patterns, I can now craft a pattern just like that and it's made me a pattern. Now, I told you I'd come back to the exporter and I am going to do that right now. So we're going to get the exporter and we're actually going to put it on the back of the pattern grid right there. I also need a cable because we need to cable this up. Technically that wasn't touching because the cable was on this side and now it is touching the systems that's on there. So we got an exporter and I can put an exporter for patterns on the pattern grid. Now if I were to, for example, put this pattern in, it exports it straight into the pattern grid into the pattern area. Now earlier I did say that there was another type of upgrade that I hadn't mentioned yet and that is the crafting upgrade. So crafting upgrade is made just like the uh speed upgrade.

except it uses a construction core, and it uses some crafting tables. And what we can do is we can use the crafting upgrade, we can place it in like that. And if we have a look up here, the crafting monitor is monitoring that we're crafting loads of patterns. And that is because the exporter is actually using the crafting upgrade to craft as many patterns as it can fit into this system. I did go and get loads more quartz enriched iron so we could put that in, but that is slowly making us patterns and then exporting them into the pattern grid. So that means you never have to think about patterns again. Now it should stop making patterns right now, but for some reason there's a little bit of a bug with refined storage where it doesn't, and it tries to put a pattern in here, which is not what we want. So, uh, you might want to disable this. I'm going to disable it right now, which means I can take that one out, put it up there. So I'm going to do a pattern for I'm going to

make a pattern for the 64k fluid storage part. So let's do one of those. I'll place that in here. And I know that if I click on this, I know that I don't have a bucket. So I'm going to grab a bucket real quick. There we go. I added a bucket to the system. Let's do it via the crafting grid. So if I click on that, it's going to make us a 64k fluid storage part. Now I also need this. If I do this, it's going to try it, but it can't make it right. But if we do this, for example, where you press control shift and then the plus button down here, it will try and go off and make all of the things in blue that we just saw. So let's have a look at that again. You see these too. They've gone blue. It knows that we've got this one over here. It knows that we've got the basic processor quartz enriched iron. It knows we don't have the bucket, which is why it's gone

red but it also knows we can make these two. And by pressing control and shift, it wants to try and craft those things for you. But obviously, it can't because we're missing buckets. So that was crafting using the Crafters. Let's uh have a look at Wireless. So I've got a wireless terminal right here, which you can make using an ender pearl. This also uses an advanced processor. So this would be number four on the list, although the Crafters also use Advanced processors. Um, but yeah, we're going to use a wireless terminal, and we're also going to use a wireless crafting grid. Now, if you've got base game refined storage, this is actually an add-on. So apologies to you, but it is an add-on and uh it's the only there's another add-on that you can get but it's the only one that gives you a crafting grid. Normally you'll get a wireless grid, which again as we've discussed is just a big chest basically. Uh, you can get a wireless fluid grid.

Wireless crafting monitor. Those are the only three that you can get this as, as I said, is an add-on. So, we're going to use this add-on because we've got it installed, but you might have the same experience without the crafting aspect of it if you're doing this without this mod. So, the way that you do this is you place down the wireless transmitter. It has to be somewhere on your network where it's getting power. You can see right there it takes 8 Fe pck. And if we hop up here, if you take your wireless crafting grid, shift right click either on the antenna or on the controller. And what that does is it binds it to this system. So, if I were to right click this, we can see this is us with the crafting grid, exact same as if we clicked it right here. Now, if we were to run out of here, click it, we're out of range. There's only a 16 block range on the transmitter right there. Now you can make it bigger if you put in a Range upgrade. So, if we

do that and we run over here. Still, still access it over here. We can't over here. We can over here. We can't. And then we can keep adding more and more. And what a lot of people do is they actually add a lot of these Wireless transmitters around their base. There are other add-ons as well. As I said with the wireless crafting grid being an add-on, there's an add-on which adds an Infinity booster, which means it costs a lot of power for the controller itself. But what the infinity booster does is boosts this to Infinity, meaning that you don't have to worry about the range. You just need one and then you could be like all the way over here, you can access it. I've actually got one of those on me right now. And these are curios, so that means that if you open up your curio menu right here, I've got a creative Wireless Universal grid right now. So if I were to press my button for this, I had to set the key for it, but if

I press the button for it. It opens up my personal refined storage that I've got in this world. You can see I've got a lot of. I should probably mention the crafting manager. So if I take this one out and I place that right here, you can see they've all got slightly different screens and uh thank you to Jade up in the top there. Up here, it tells us which one's which. So what the crafting manager does is it allows you to have access to all of your Crafters wherever you are. So in this case, it shows us what it is. So a furnace, a furnace is what that's connected to and uh those are the two patterns. We can actually pull that pattern out. We know this one is a dud because it's not at all what comes out of that. So we can take that plun that back in our system uh but then we can also move patterns about. So that one, the pattern for patterns just went over there. Place it back back where it was. So crafter pattern there it is so that's.

really useful, especially if you've got like a ridiculous amount of craft on your system. It's just super super useful to have one of these, although it's kind of expensive. All of these are kind of expensive to set up. So, onto the final stretch, the last few items are as such. We've got the detector, so this actually scans the refined storage system and emits a redstone signal when an item is above a certain amount. So, for example, if I use this network card and I set it to equals z, you can see I don't have any network cards in our system. So, it's applying a redstone signal. Now, we could actually set the Importer right here to require only work with the Redstone signal, and that way this is now powered. So, if I were to put in, I don't know, this network card and this Network receiver because the network card goes in and is then put into our system, it does not equal Z anymore, meaning that this is not on anymore, and it doesn't pull in the receiver. So, let me grab that.

card back out. You can see that that again has gone back to where it was. We can change this to be equals one. Oh, just one, please. Thank you. So right now, that is off, meaning that this isn't working. If I put this receiver in the chest and then I place the network card into the system, this comes on and it pulls the Network receiver into refined storage. There we go, and we're going to grab those two bits out because we're going to use these in a second. Now there's different modes that you can have for this, so you can have one if the number of network cards in the system equals one, emit a redstone signal. If it is greater than or less than, emit a signal went above the amount of one, yes, and then there's emitter signal when under the amount of one. So right now there's none in there, so that is under one, meaning that it is emitting a redstone signal, and then you're back to equals. So there's three modes that this can be set into. So next on the list.

is the disk manipulator so I'm going to place that just up there. This on its own doesn't do anything, but what you can do is if you take a disk, for example, this has only got 11 things in it right now. Place that back in. What are the 11 things? It doesn't really say. So if we take these out and then we place them in the disk manipulator, all 10 of those things are being pulled out into all of the storage around it, that being over here, for example. If I do this and then uh, I take this out, place it back in. Let's put all of the Network stuff into this disk. So you can see there's three things in there. So I'm going to place the disk in here. It's got nowhere for those Network items to go, so it's not actually placing into the system right now. Like this uh, fluid disk, fluid disk, fluid part can't go anywhere, so yeah, that's stuck. But if we, for example, had space like we do right

here and we take this back out and place that back in like that. You see that those things go in here and uh this is now empty. So this basically empties out all of the storage discs that you have if you place them in. I'm going to place it in right there again and we're going to take these out. And now we're going to talk about the network transmitter, network card, and network receiver. So the receiver, if we place this over here like that, and then we right-click it with the network card. I think shift right-click or just right-click, it doesn't really matter. And then we place this transmitter. I'm going to place it right there, place that onto the system, and then put the network card within the transmitter. So you can think of this as like transmitting out how it is, right? So that's transmitting a signal. This is receiving a signal right now. And uh, we need to tell it where this is, and that's what the card is used for. So I'm going to place that in here like that, and this is

now technically part of the system over there. I will give you an example of this. Let's grab a uh from my actual system. Let's grab an exporter. So I've got that on AutoCraft. So it's going to AutoCraft that for me. There's the exporter. Let's grab ourselves a chest, a few chests right there. So I can do that. I can set up an exporter and I can say let's grab all of the. In fact, let's do it from ji let re find. There we go. Let's grab all of the exporters. Why not? Oh, never mind. We don't have any exporters over here. I'm going to take a cable and use that as the uh, the exporter. There we go. So that is now pulling from over here. Now that's not too far away, but you can actually put this in another dimension if you want to, and you can set up an external storage on it. You can set up whatever you fancy and uh, this Network receiver doesn't even need to be powered. It's just part of the

system. It's as if this right here was connected to this block because of uh the transmitter. These are stupidly useful, I will say. Try not to use them all the time because they get really confusing after a while, especially because these cards aren't the most descriptive. So, sometimes I do end up thinking, Where did I put that card? or Where did I put the network transmitter for this thing over here? I think that's everything I wanted to cover with refined storage in this tutorial. If you got any questions or you just want to talk about refined storage or show off some of your refined storage, then shoot over to the Discord. The link for that is in the description. Thank you for watching, thanks for joining, and I will see you in the next one. Bye.

Refined Storage adds three new items: quartz enriched iron, silicon, and processor binding.

The system requires power from another mod, with each additional component consuming RF.

Storage discs can be crafted and upgraded for greater capacity, with the 64K storage disc providing a free 16K bonus.

External storage allows for priority settings, determining the source for items going into or out of the system.

Using External Storage in Refined Storage

External storage can be linked to a storage controller to set priority for item storage.

It allows access to multiple drawers and can significantly increase storage capacity.

Setting the priority of the disk drive to -1 makes it the last resort for item storage, while the grid offers various modes for item display and selection.

The grid also provides options for sorting direction, type, and search box mode, offering flexibility in organizing and accessing items.

Tips for Using the Crafting Grid and Storage System in Minecraft

The crafting grid's synchronization mode can affect how items are displayed, so it's important to choose the right setting to avoid unexpected changes.

Importers and exporters are crucial for moving items between the chest and the system, with the importer bringing items into the system and the exporter sending them out.

Upgrades, such as speed and stack upgrades, can significantly improve the efficiency of item transfer in the storage system.

Using Importers and Exporters in Refine Storage

Importers and Exporters can be used to automate the transfer of items in Refine Storage.

They can pull items from specific blocks like furnaces and also export items into those blocks.

Importers can also be used for fluid storage, but not for both items and fluids at the same time on the same block face.

Constructors can place blocks in the world, while Destructors can remove them, with the option of using upgrades like silk touch or fortune for mining.

Efficient Osmium Ore Processing in Minecraft

A demonstration of using the Destructor to efficiently mine and place osmium ore.

The process of setting up a pattern grid for autocrafting in the crafter.

The functionality of processing patterns in converting raw materials into ingots using a crafter and furnace.

Using a Crafter in Minecraft for Various Crafting Tasks

A crafting monitor can show all current crafts and allows for their cancellation.

The crafter can be used to send items for processing and to create regular recipes.

Exporters and crafting upgrades can be used to automate the crafting process and manage pattern production efficiently.

Crafting and Using Wireless Technology in Refined Storage

Wireless terminals and crafting grids are essential components in refined storage, with the ability to expand their range using transmitters and range upgrades.

The mod also offers add-ons like the Infinity booster for unlimited range and the crafting manager for accessing crafters from anywhere.

Additionally, the system includes a detector that emits a redstone signal based on item levels, offering a high level of automation and control.

The tutorial covers the use of network cards to transmit signals and the function of the network receiver.

It also explains the purpose of the disk manipulator in transferring items within the storage system.

The tutorial emphasizes the usefulness of the refined storage system but advises caution in using it excessively due to potential confusion.
