Refined Storage

2.0.9 ships NeoForge and Fabric. JEI, REI, EMI, Curios, and Mekanism chemicals are addons now, not baked into the core jar. Wireless Crafting Grid moved to Quartz Arsenal. A 1.20.1 kitchen-sink pack that still ships RS 1.12.4 will not match these 3x3s.

Energy is optional in config. Default worlds still want a Controller fed by another mod. If the pack turns energy off, the Controller step can be left out entirely. Read the toml before you farm a stack of advanced processors for a network that never asked for power.

Two iron over iron and quartz. Result 4 Quartz Enriched Iron. The same 2x2 with copper makes Quartz Enriched Copper. Cable spends the copper; machines still spend the iron. Machine Casing is eight QEI around c:stones.

Quartz Enriched Iron

Smelt Nether Quartz for silicon. Binding is a middle row of string, slime, string, count 8. Raw Basic is shapeless binding + iron + silicon + redstone. Improved swaps iron for gold. Advanced swaps iron for diamond. Smelt each raw chip. Construction Core is Basic + glowstone. Destruction Core is Basic + quartz.

Processor Binding

The Controller stores energy for the network. It does not make power. Feed it from another mod. Pattern: QEI and Advanced Processor on the top row, silicon around a Machine Casing, QEI-silicon-QEI on the bottom. You can place more than one Controller on the same cables. If the first one empties, the network tries the next. Breaking a Controller keeps the stored energy.

Cable uses Quartz Enriched Copper, glass, and redstone. Yield 12. Devices that already touch do not need a cable between them. Colored cable only joins the same color or the default color. Disk Drive connects on every side except the face it looks at, which is why the towers in the cover shot cable in from the side.

Controller

A 1k disk holds 1024 items. Tiers step 1024, 4096, 16384, 65536. Pages that say 1,000 are rounding. Craft the part first, then the disk shell. Housing is the same shell with an empty center. Combine a disk with the next Storage Part to step up; the old part comes back.

Insert disks in the Disk Drive to grow the network. Pull a disk and those items vanish from the Grid until you put it back. Filter row is a blocklist by default. Void-excess only turns on in allowlist mode. Insert and extract priorities can be set separately.

1k Storage Part

Improved Processor, Construction Core, glass on top; QEI, Machine Casing, glass in the middle; Improved Processor, Destruction Core, glass on the bottom. Open it after the Disk Drive has a disk and the Controller has power. Autocraftable items get an orange backdrop, including patterns still sitting in your inventory.

Grid

The Fluid Grid recipe you bookmarked does not exist on 2.0.9. Items, fluids, and Mekanism chemicals share the same Grid. Resource-type filter starts on All. Right-click a filled bucket or tank onto the Grid to pour it in. Left-click an empty container onto a fluid row to fill it. The old Fluid Interface is gone the same way: one Interface, every resource type, no dedicated import row.

Search is a little stricter now: # targets tags and $ targets tooltips. Autocraftable rows paint orange even if the Pattern is still in your inventory and never made it into an Autocrafter. That gray screen in the Pattern Grid shot is the same family as the Grid. It is the client, not a factory HUD.

You already have a Controller, a Disk Drive, and a Grid. The next surprises are not a feature brochure. They are the moments the 1.12.4 muscle memory spends a stack of processors on the wrong metal.

Cable is copper now. Dye a run blue and it stops talking to the undyed line next to it. Same rule on Importers, Exporters, and External Storage. The Disk Drive still refuses cable on the face it looks at, so the towers in the cover shot feed from the side. Crouch-wrench a machine and it comes off with its config. Other mods tagged c:wrenches do the same job.

One Controller can starve a fat network. Drop a second on the same cables. Power draws from the next block when the first empties. Breaking a Controller keeps the stored energy. Config can turn energy off entirely; then the Controller step is wasted quartz — read the config before you craft Advanced Processors for a pack that never asked for power.

A 1k disk is 1024 items, then 4k, 16k, 64k on the same 1024 ladder. You do not craft a fresh disk to step up. Combine the disk or the storage block with the next Storage Part. The old part comes back. Insert priority and extract priority are two sliders. Void-excess will eat overflow, but only after you flip the filter to allowlist. Leave it on blocklist and the toggle does nothing. Insert-only disks still show their contents in the Grid, so a dump disk does not vanish from the search bar.

JEI, REI, EMI, Curios, Trinkets, and Mekanism chemicals are no longer inside the core jar. The network runs without them. Recipe-viewer sync is a separate addon. The Wireless Crafting Grid moved to Quartz Arsenal. If your hotbar grid is missing after a clean 2.0.9 install, the recipe is not the problem — the addon is.

When you do start autocrafting, the machine is an Autocrafter. It faces the block you click, same as a cable cover. Two patterns that output the same item obey the Autocrafter priority number, not whichever you encoded first. Locking replaced the old crafter-mode dropdown: never, redstone pulse, wait until the machine is empty, wait until every output comes back, low signal, high signal. The preview and the amount box are one screen. Max fills what the network can actually finish. A tree view is there if the list lies to you. You cannot cancel a task if there is no room to dump the intermediates.

Pattern Grid encodes stonecutter and smithing now, not only the 3x3 and processing matrices. Fuzzy mode replaced Exact and starts off. External Storage reads more than one resource type on the same inventory. Importer grabs as much of one type as the tick quota allows and guesses item versus fluid versus chemical from what it touches. Regulator Upgrade also caps an Importer, and you set the number on the upgrade item, not in the machine UI. Constructor and Exporter can go first-available, round-robin, or random.

Leave Relay subnetworks, Security Manager, Configuration Card, and the wireless set until the 1k disk is full. Security Manager locks the network the moment you place it, so a first-day drop can lock you out of your own Grid. Configuration Card copies upgrades and settings between twins. Relay can hide pass-through and expose only energy, security, storage, or autocrafting to the far side. That is a second base, not a first cable.

Importer is shapeless: Cable + Destruction Core + Improved Processor. External Storage talks to existing chests and, in RS2, can see more than one resource type at once. Detector (the +1 / +10 / +64 screen) is a later filter, not day one. Get items into a 1k disk from the Grid before you automate a quarry.

• No rush. Fluid storage disks, Storage Blocks, Pattern Grid, Autocrafter, Wireless Transmitter, Security Manager, Relay subnetworks, and the Configuration Card can all wait.
• Addon, not core. JEI/REI/EMI sync, Curios, Mekanism chemicals, Quartz Arsenal wireless crafting grid.
• Worth the trip. QEI, silicon, Advanced Processor, Controller with real power, Disk Drive, one 1k disk, Grid. Then Importer.
