In this article, I will tell you how to create a ME system from the mod Applied Energistics 2.

Let's start with what a ME system is and what it is needed for.

ME system - is a huge storage unit from AE2, where you can store a large amount of resources and craft items directly in the system.

What the ME system consists of

ME systems come in various sizes, but for the simplest one, you will need: a controller, a storage cell, a terminal, and a couple of glass cables.

ME Terminals

In Applied Energistics 2, there are several types of terminals.

• Terminal - the most basic terminal where you can place items in storage and retrieve them.
• Crafting Terminal - a terminal where you can also store and extract items. Besides that, there is a crafting table inside the terminal where you can craft items from the resources stored in your storage.
• Pattern Terminal - this is a separate terminal designed for creating crafting patterns. Patterns are needed to automate various mechanisms.

Storage Cells

Storage Cells - are cards on which you will store your resources. They come in 4 types: 1K, 4K, 16K, and 64K. Their difference lies in their storage capacity. The more space in the storage cell, the more resources you can fit into it.

How to create a ME system

To create a functioning ME system, you will need: 1 ME controller, 1 ME storage cell, a terminal or crafting terminal, storage cells, and several glass cables.

Place the controller, then install the storage cell next to it. Next, connect one of the blocks with a glass cable and place a ME terminal on it. After that, you need to connect the system to RF or EU energy using any cables or wires.

Here is how it should look:

Our system is almost ready, but it doesn't have any storage cells yet. To install them, enter the ME storage cell and place our storage cells inside.

That's it, the ME system is ready to use!
