Crafting MEGA Storage Cells and High-Density Components

guide

MEGA Storage Components in MEGA Cells scale Applied Energistics digital network storage into multi-megabyte capacities ranging from 1M up to the highest capacity tiers. Large automated mob farms, quarry operations, and massive crafting networks frequently overwhelm standard storage drives, making these high-density components vital for endgame infrastructure.

Step-by-Step Component Tier Progression

Every tier of MEGA component follows the standard AE2 tiered crafting pattern, combining 3 components of the preceding tier with specialized binding dusts, 1 Accumulation Processor, and 1 Vibrant Quartz Glass.

Arrange the materials in a crafting table:

1M MEGA Storage Component: Place 1 Accumulation Processor in the top center, 1 Vibrant Quartz Glass in the center, and 3 preceding storage components in the middle left, middle right, and bottom center slots. Fill the four corners with Sky Stone Dust (4 Sky Stone Dust total) to craft 1 1M MEGA Storage Component.
4M MEGA Storage Component: Follow the same pattern using 4 Ender Pearl Dust in the corners, 1 Accumulation Processor, 1 Vibrant Quartz Glass, and 3 1M MEGA Storage Component.
16M MEGA Storage Component: Craft using 4 Ender Pearl Dust in the corners, 1 Accumulation Processor, 1 Vibrant Quartz Glass, and 3 4M MEGA Storage Component.
64M MEGA Storage Component: Upgrade using 4 Matter Ball in the corners, 1 Accumulation Processor, 1 Vibrant Quartz Glass, and 3 16M MEGA Storage Component.
Highest-Tier MEGA Storage Component: The pinnacle two-hundred-and-fifty-six megabyte component uses 4 Matter Ball in the corners, 1 Accumulation Processor, 1 Vibrant Quartz Glass, and 3 64M MEGA Storage Component.

Assembling Storage Cells

Once a component is completed, it can be combined with a housing or raw metal ingots to form a functional drive:

Item Storage Cell: Combine 1 MEGA Storage Component with 1 MEGA Item Cell Housing, or craft directly by combining the component with 2 Vibrant Quartz Glass, 3 Sky Stone Dust, and 3 Sky Steel Ingot.
Fluid Storage Cell: Combine 1 MEGA Storage Component with 1 MEGA Fluid Cell Housing, or craft with 2 Vibrant Quartz Glass, 3 Sky Stone Dust, and 3 Sky Bronze Ingot.
Chemical Storage Cell: Combine 1 MEGA Storage Component with 1 MEGA Chemical Cell Housing, or craft with 2 Vibrant Quartz Glass, 3 Sky Stone Dust, and 3 Sky Osmium Ingot.
Experience Storage Cell: Combine 1 MEGA Storage Component with 1 MEGA Experience Cell Housing, or craft with 2 Vibrant Quartz Glass, 3 Sky Stone Dust, and 3 Bottle o' Enchanting.

Bulk Storage and Portable Drives

For items produced in colossal quantities (such as cobblestone or dirt), MEGA Cells provides deep bulk storage:

MEGA Bulk Storage Component: Crafted with 4 Sky Stone Dust, 1 2-Cubed Spatial Component, 2 Accumulation Processor, 1 Vibrant Quartz Glass, and 1 1M MEGA Storage Component.
MEGA Bulk Item Storage Cell: Crafted with 2 Vibrant Quartz Glass, 3 Sky Stone Dust, 1 MEGA Bulk Storage Component, and 3 Netherite Ingot.

In addition, players can craft wireless handheld storage by combining any completed storage component with 1 ME Chest, 1 Dense Energy Cell, and the appropriate cell housing to create a Portable Cell for field expeditions.
