How to do X, Y, Z???

Here comes the main dish

Up to this point, you should already know what is bulk 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. Drag your cell into the slot on top-right corner

  3. Drag 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 Trick

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

  4. This step will vary, depends on what cell did you use. Generally this is where you install Card Upgrades for the partitioned cells. Mainly Overflow Destruction &/ Equal Distribution

For Bulk Cells, they only accepts Compression Card

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

Previous Shift+Left Button trick also applies to the 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 Storages’ with ** the highest priority**/higher than the general storage’s
  • Decompression Module is crucial to allow this network to decompress stored items inside a bulk cell
  • Because they make a ghost-patterns, a basic CPU multiblock is no less important (otherwise you can’t decompress things)
