QIO Integrations

QIO Integrations

QIO Integrations bridges Mekanism QIO Dashboards to other storage and logistics mods. Your QIO frequency becomes visible to Applied Energistics 2, Refined Storage, and Tom's Simple Storage—without replacing Mekanism or duplicating your QIO network.

Install it alongside Mekanism; add whichever optional mods you use. Each integration loads only when that mod is present.

Information

QIO Integrations is a server-side compatibility mod. It does not add new blocks or items. It exposes the QIO dashboard you already placed so other mods can read and write the same frequency inventory.

If you also run Applied Mekanistics, this mod does not register its AE2 bridge (Applied Mekanistics already connects QIO to AE2). AE2, Refined Storage, and Tom's integrations still apply independently when those mods are installed.

Features

• Applied Energistics 2 — Treats a QIO Dashboard as AE2 MEStorage, so cables, P2P tunnels, and storage buses on the dashboard can import and export from your QIO frequency
• Refined Storage — Registers an external storage provider on the dashboard so RS grids can store and retrieve items from the linked QIO frequency
• Tom's Simple Storage — Exposes a block item handler on the back of the dashboard (the face opposite the screen) for Inventory Connectors and Inventory Cable Connectors
• Frequency security — Respects Mekanism QIO frequency ownership and security when other mods query storage
• Optional-only loading — No hard dependency on AE2, RS, or Tom's; missing mods are simply skipped at startup

Requirements

Compatibility

Minecraft: Java Edition

Other loaders or versions may exist in the project repository as stubs; check the release you download for supported platforms.

Environment: Dedicated server and integrated server (single-player). Client install is typical for modpack parity but the logic runs on the server.

Setup

Applied Energistics 2

Connect AE2 devices to the QIO Dashboard like any other storage block—storage bus, interface, or cable on a face of the dashboard. Items move against the QIO frequency bound to that dashboard (same frequency you configure in Mekanism).

No extra configuration in this mod. Use Mekanism's dashboard UI to set or change the frequency.

Refined Storage

Place RS external storage (or equivalent blocks that use external storage providers) against the QIO Dashboard. The grid will see the dashboard's QIO frequency as external storage.

On 1.21.1, this targets Refined Storage 2 APIs. On 1.20.1, this targets Refined Storage 1.x.

Tom's Simple Storage

1. Set the dashboard's QIO frequency to Public, or Tom's cannot authenticate as a player for that frequency.
2. Place an Inventory Connector or Inventory Cable Connector against the back of the dashboard—the side opposite the screen.
3. After connecting, allow a moment for Tom's network scan (it updates periodically). If items do not appear immediately, break and replace the connector or wait one scan cycle.

Tom's integration is aimed at pulling a QIO frequency into a Tom's storage network, not at replacing the dashboard's own Mekanism UI.

Tips

• One dashboard, one frequency — Each dashboard bridges exactly the frequency it is configured with in Mekanism.
• Automation faces — AE2 and RS generally attach to any side of the dashboard; Tom's specifically uses the rear face.
• Modpacks — Safe to include even if players omit AE2, RS, or Tom's; unused integrations stay disabled.

QIO Integrations

Connect your Mekanism QIO network to other storage mods.

QIO Integrations lets you use your QIO Dashboard with Applied Energistics 2, Refined Storage, and Tom's Simple Storage Mod. Your items stay in the same QIO network, with no extra storage or duplicate inventories.

Features

• Applied Energistics 2 - Use a QIO Dashboard with AE2 storage buses, cables, and P2P tunnels.
• Refined Storage - Access your QIO network through RS external storage.
• Tom's Simple Storage Mod - Connect a QIO Dashboard to Tom's Simple Storage Mod networks.
• QIO Security - Respects Mekanism's QIO frequency permissions and security.
• Optional integrations - Only the integrations for mods you have installed are enabled.

Requirements

Compatibility

Minecraft: Java Edition

The mod is server-side. It does not add any blocks or items of its own.

Setup

Applied Energistics 2

Place an AE2 storage bus, cable, or other compatible device against the QIO Dashboard.

The connected AE2 network will access the QIO frequency configured on that dashboard.

Refined Storage

Place an RS External Storage block against the QIO Dashboard.

The RS grid will be able to access the QIO frequency linked to that dashboard.

Tom's Simple Storage Mod

1. Set the QIO frequency to Public.
2. Place an Inventory Connector or Inventory Cable Connector on the back of the QIO Dashboard, opposite the screen.
3. Wait for the Tom's Simple Storage Mod network to update.

Notes

• Each dashboard connects to the QIO frequency configured on it.
• AE2 and Refined Storage can connect to the dashboard from any side.
• Tom's Simple Storage Mod uses the back of the dashboard.
• If you use Applied Mekanistics, its AE2 integration is used instead of the one provided by QIO Integrations.
