Integrating Create Factory Logistics with Create and Applied Energistics 2
Create Factory Logistics enhances logistics networks by allowing integration with other Create components and external mods like Applied Energistics 2 (AE2). This guide explains how to bridge these systems for efficient item and fluid management.
Applied Energistics 2 Integration
You can connect an AE2 ME network with a Create Factory Logistics network to request and deliver items.
- AE2 ME Interface can function as a packager for the logistics network.
- Attach a Stock Link to the AE2 ME Interface to establish a connection to the logistics network.
- Place a Frogport directly on top of the AE2 ME Interface. This Frogport enables the sending and receiving of packages.
- The logistics network can request items that are stored within the AE2 system.
- Packages delivered to this setup will be unpacked and deposited into the connected ME network.
Mixer Upkeep with Network Links
Automate the feeding of Blaze Burners for mixers by using 
Network Links and inventory reading devices.
- Attach Network Links to an inventory reading device, such as a Threshold Switch.
- This setup allows Blaze Burners to receive fuel only when it is needed.
- When a new order arrives, the Threshold Switch will detect the change in inventory state and trigger the appropriate action, such as feeding the Blaze Burner.
Fluid Transportation
Create Factory Logistics introduces a unique method for fluid transportation within your logistics network.
- The Jar functions similarly to item packages but is designed for liquids. This allows fluids to be seamlessly incorporated into your frog-chain logistical system.
- The
Bottler acts as a packager specifically for fluids. - The Fluid Gauge extends auto-crafting workflows, enabling the use of fluid ingredients or outputs in automated processes.
How small this addon actually is
Create Factory Logistics ships three items and three blocks, and its entire recipe list is five crafting recipes plus one sequenced assembly. That is worth knowing before you plan around it: this is a connector between systems you already run, not a content mod with a tech tree of its own.
Everything it adds exists to join Create's stock-keeping network to something else — a fluid system, a chemical system, or another mod's storage network.
The version gap
The 1.21.1 build (1.6.0) carries five crafting recipes; the 1.20.1 build (1.4.7) carries three. Two of the blocks therefore do not exist at all on the older line, so a setup copied from a 1.21.1 world will not reproduce on 1.20.1.
If a gauge or link you have seen elsewhere is missing from your recipe list, check the mod version before looking for a missing dependency.
Everything hinges on the stock link
Every recipe here except the mechanism itself takes Create's stock link as an ingredient. That makes the stock link the real prerequisite for this addon: you need Create's logistics network standing before any of these blocks can be built, let alone used.
Plan the Create side first — a working stock network with a stock ticker — and treat this mod as the last layer you add on top, not the first.
