= Networks over long distances
|
|
|
|
Refined Storage supports 2 scenarios for long distance networking:
|
|
|
|
- xref:../viewing-resources/how-to-view-resources.adoc#_wireless_access[Viewing your resources wirelessly]
|
|
- Extending a network over a long distance without using cables (see below)
|
|
|
|
== The problem
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, you may have different areas all scattered throughout your world.
|
|
|
|
Here is the problem: you want access to your Refined Storage system on all of those areas.
|
|
|
|
You could lay xref:../networking/cable.adoc[] from your base to every area, but what if said area is 1000 blocks away?
|
|
Are you really going to craft 1000 xref:../networking/cable.adoc[cables]?
|
|
Didn't think so.
|
|
|
|
== The solution
|
|
|
|
Use the xref:network-transmitter.adoc[] and xref:network-receiver.adoc[].
|
|
|
|
Simply craft a xref:network-transmitter.adoc[] and connect it to your Refined Storage system in your main base.
|
|
|
|
Next up, craft a xref:network-card.adoc[].
|
|
I'll be telling what you need this for in a second, bear with me.
|
|
|
|
After crafting a xref:network-card.adoc[], craft a xref:network-receiver.adoc[] and place it in the area far away from your base.
|
|
|
|
Take the xref:network-card.adoc[] and right click it on the xref:network-receiver.adoc[].
|
|
|
|
Put the xref:network-card.adoc[] in the xref:network-transmitter.adoc[] so the xref:network-transmitter.adoc[] knows where to send a signal to.
|
|
|
|
And now you are done.
|
|
Simply connect machines to your xref:network-receiver.adoc[] according to the normal machine connecting rules.
|
|
|
|
I suppose you could treat the xref:network-receiver.adoc[] as a xref:...
|
|
|
|
== One very important thing to note
|
|
|
|
The xref:../networking/controller.adoc[] in your main base and the xref:network-receiver.adoc[] in the other area **both** have to be chunkloaded **before** linking it to the network.
|
|
|
|
After linking, both areas have to stay chunkloaded.
|
|
|
|
== Using Refined Storage v1.7.x or v1.8.x?

Cross dimensional functionality isn't available in this version. |
