Specialised Cells - Specialized Cells for Applied Energistics 2
Specialised Cells is an addon that expands the capabilities of Applied Energistics 2, offering unique storage cell types designed for specific item categories.
The main advantage of these cells lies in their special approach to the type storage system. However, there are also some compromises:
- Initial memory per type is 16 bytes (similar to a standard 4K cell)
- Power consumption in standby mode is slightly higher than standard cells of similar size
- Number of items per byte is halved (4 items per byte)
- Limit on item types - 31 (unless otherwise specified)
Armory Cell (1K, 4K, 16K)
This cell is designed exclusively for storing armor (player and horse), weapons (swords, bows, crossbows, tridents) and elytras. Storage settings can be changed via the specialised_cells:armory_cell_storable tag.
The cell supports additional partitioning and always operates in fuzzy mode (ignoring damage).
In the type system, only the item type is counted - this means you can store 10 different iron swords with varying damage levels, and they will count as one type!
Tools Cell (1K, 4K, 16K)
This cell stores only tools - axes, pickaxes, shovels, hoes, wrenches, fishing rods, carrot/warped fungus on a stick, flint and steel, AE2 entropy manipulator, AE2 charged staff, AE2 quartz knives. Settings can be changed via the specialised_cells:tools_cell_storable tag.
Supports additional partitioning and always operates in fuzzy mode (ignoring damage).
In the type system, only the item type is counted - this allows storing 10 different iron pickaxes with varying damage levels, and they will count as one type!
Enchanted Book Cell (1K, 4K, 16K)
This cell is designed exclusively for storing enchanted books. However, types are counted by enchantment type. This means that, for example, Power I and Power II will use only one type.
The cell can store 63 different enchantment types. Note: compound enchantments are counted separately; a book with Power and Unbreaking will use its own type and will not share a type with individual enchantments.
