The Importer extracts resources from a connected external inventory and inserts them into the storage network.
Ensure that the Importer is connected to the external inventory from the correct side, so it can access the desired slots for importing.
Behavior
Each tick, it extracts as much of a single resource type as allowed by its per-tick quota. It cannot extract multiple resource types at once.
Filter
The top row of the Importer allows you to configure which resources can or cannot be imported.
By default, the Importer is in blocklist mode, meaning resources in the filter slots will not be imported. An empty blocklist allows all resources.
You can switch to allowlist mode, where only listed resources will be imported. If no resources are configured in allowlist mode, nothing will be imported.
Fuzzy mode
Fuzzy mode, off by default, determines whether the filter considers additional attributes, such as a pickaxe’s damage value.
