Getting Organised

= Getting Organised = Now that you have started gathering resources, I bet it feels like the chest monsters are moving in. Piles of boxes, chests, barrels and crates surround you on all sides, and are seemingly filled with a random assortment of your precious things, useful items and junk.

 

So that you can avoid your starring role on the next episode of Hoarders, it is time to get organised. Thankfully, ZooKeepR includes a few ways to help you sort out your stuff stash and move it to where it is needed.

 

A Storage Drawer network is probably a great place to start. Crafted from chests and wood, each Drawer can hold multiple stacks of a single item and can be upgraded to hold even more (or even to delete your extras with a void upgrade). Any drawers connected to a Drawer Controller (even up to 20 blocks away) can be seen by the controller. By double clicking on the controller face, you can automatically deposit anything in your inventory that has a matching space in the drawer network. The controller also allows automated input/output through itemducts and other item moving mechanisms.

 

A Simple Storage Network takes this organisation one step further. Placing a StorageNetwork Master and a Storage Request Table, then connecting those with Storage Cables and Storage Link Cables allows it to see into and access all inventories (chests etc) you have it connected to. Import, Export and Processing Cables allow you to control what goes where and when. It will recognise most* inventories, even your drawer controller, filing cabinets and nullifier. A Nullifier will destroy any block or fluid placed, or piped into it.

 is a good video to watch for more detailed information.

 

Item ducts move items, fluiducts move fluids (some can’t handle the heat) and fluxducts move flux (aka Energy). Each of these ducts has multiple tiers, check out JEI and the tooltips for more information. You can even pipe items into and out of the enderchests from EnderStorage. Enderchests with matching dye combinations on the top can also allow you to move items interdimensionally.

* not your little tiles inventories, unfortunately.
