The Interface combines the functions of the Importer and Exporter.

Exporting

The top row configures which resources are exported from the storage network to the intermediate storage slots below.

The last known state for each configured resource is displayed:

  • None – The resource was exported successfully or hasn’t been exported yet.

  • Resource missing – The resource is not available in the storage network.

  • Storage does not accept resource - The resource could not be returned to the storage network as the storage network is full or does not accept the resource.

  • Autocrafting started – An autocrafting task was started for the missing resource (requires a Autocrafting Upgrade).

  • Autocrafting detected missing resources – The autocrafting task could not start due to missing ingredients.

The bottom row contains the intermediate storage slots where exported resources are stored. These slots are accessible for extraction by external blocks.

Fuzzy mode

Fuzzy mode, off by default, determines whether the filter considers additional attributes, such as a pickaxe’s damage value.

Importing

The Interface accepts resources from external blocks and places them in the intermediate storage slots. From there, they are instantly inserted into the storage network.

The Interface does not extract resources from adjacent inventories automatically; you must insert them manually.

Differences from the Importer

  • The Importer must be connected to an external inventory, while the Interface provides intermediate storage slots where external blocks can insert resources.

  • The Importer has no internal inventory and cannot receive resources directly.

  • The Interface inserts resources instantly, while the Importer's speed depends on upgrades.

Differences from the Exporter

  • The Exporter must be connected to an external inventory, whereas the Interface exports to intermediate storage slots.

  • The Interface instantly exports resources, while the Exporter's speed depends on upgrades.

Interface acting as an External Storage source

You may connect an External Storage to an Interface.

At that point, the Interface cannot extract resources from other Interfaces that are acting as an External Storage source.

Redstone mode

The Interface can be set to operate only when a specific redstone state is met.

  • Ignore – Always active, regardless of redstone.

  • High – Only works when receiving a redstone signal.

  • Low – Only works when no redstone signal is present.
