How to do X, Y, Z???

Here comes the main dish

Up to this point, you should already know what bulk is and why it matters as well as the items required for it (refer to the requirements in the Concepts Chapter)

Partition

  1. You need a Cell & Cell Workbench
  2. Move your cell into the slot on top-right corner

  3. Move your desired items to partitions into the 7x9 empty slots (it’s only 1 for Bulk Cells). You can drag from inventory or JEI/EMI

    Quick Tip

    You can do Shift+Left Button to quickly assign the items into the empty slot.

  4. This step will vary, depending on what cell you used. Generally this is when you install Card Upgrades for the partitioned cells. Mainly Overflow Destruction and/or Equal Distribution

Bulk Cells only accept Compression Cards

They can’t do any compression if there’s no compression card installed

The Shift+Left Button trick also applies when installing card upgrades

Basic Functional Setup

With the importance of Decompression Module & Priority System, at the very least your network should look like this.

  • Top-left drive bay is for ‘General Storage’ with the lowest/lower priority
  • Bottom-left drive bay is for ‘Bulk Storage’ with ** the highest priority**/higher than the general storage’s
  • Decompression Module is crucial to allow this network to decompress items stored inside a bulk cell
  • Because they make a ghost-pattern, a basic CPU multiblock required (otherwise you can’t decompress things)
