Specialized Local Storage

Utilizing one of the special behaviors of the Interface, a subnetwork can present the contents of its storage to the main network, without being able to see the main network's storage, and taking up only 1 channel.

This is useful for local storage at some farm, so that the items will not overflow into your main storage.

Configurations

• The first МЭ интерфейс (1) simply accepts items from whatever farm you have and pushes them into the subnet.
• The МЭ накопитель (2) has some cells in it. The cells should be partitioned to whatever the farm outputs. The cells can have Карта равномерного распределенияs and Пустотная картаs.
• The second МЭ интерфейс (4) is in its default configuration.
• The МЭ шина хранения has its priority set higher than the main storage. It can be filtered to whatever the farm outputs.

How It Works

• The МЭ интерфейс on the subnet shows the МЭ шина хранения on the main network the contents of the МЭ накопитель. This means the storage bus can directly pull items from and push items to the cells in the drive.
• The storage bus is set to high priority so that items are preferentially put back in the subnet instead of in your main storage.
• Importantly, if the cells in the subnet fill up, the items will not overflow into the main network. If the farm is of a type that breaks if it backs up, Пустотная картаs can be used to delete the excess items instead.
• If the farm outputs multiple items, Карта равномерного распределенияs can stop one item from filling all the cells and not letting the other items be stored.
