Materials and EMC
Storage selection
The Storage control decides where materials are taken from. Hover the value and scroll to change it.
| Setting | Source |
|---|---|
| Extract from AE2 & Chests | Both the ME network and adjacent containers |
| AE only | The ME network only |
| Chests only | Adjacent containers only |
In Remove mode the meaning flips to the destination, and the choice narrows to Insert into AE / Insert into chest.
AE2 integration
Connecting an AE2 cable to the cannon provides power and ME storage access at the same time.
When a material is not in the ME network the cannon requests autocrafting (which runs on the AE2 side if a pattern exists).
EMC (ProjectE)
The EMC Schematic Cannon is only added when ProjectE is installed.
- The screen gains a Use EMC toggle and an EMC fuel slot
- With Use EMC on, blocks can be placed by spending EMC even with no material in stock
- In Remove mode, collected blocks can be converted to EMC
- Items put into the fuel slot are converted to EMC and added to the owner's EMC.
Ctrl + left click sends an item straight from your inventory into that slot
The Enhanced Schematic Cannon shows nothing EMC-related; both the slot and the toggle are hidden.
