The Multi-Functional Storage Unit, or MFSU, is a Tier 3 energy storage device. It is able to store up to 10 million [[EU]] (making it capable of powering multiple [[Teleporter|teleportations]], running a [[Mass Fabricator]], or directly storing power from most [[Nuclear Reactor]]s). It can accept up to 512 EU-Packet power, with unlimited EU/t, from its 5 input faces (the faces without dots). It can also emit a current of 512 EU/t from its output face (the face with a dot).

Like all storage units, its output face is marked by a special texture, which usually faces the player when the block is placed. The direction of the output face can be changed by right-clicking with a [[Wrench]] onto any of the input faces of the block; normally, this will point the output face towards the player, but holding Shift while clicking will point the output face in the opposite direction. Be aware that right-clicking the MFSU while pointing at its output face will dismantle it.

Note that applying a Redstone signal to the MFSU will make it stop emitting power from the output face until it's full.

Wiring Tip: Do NOT use [[Tin Cable]], [[Gold Cable]], or [[Copper Cable]] on the output face, they cannot handle the 512 [[EU|EU/p]] that the MFSU's output emits. Instead use [[Glass Fibre Cable]] or [[HV Cable]].

Notice: Most machines cannot handle 512 [[EU|EU/p]] being sent to their storage, so they explode. Use a MV Transformer to transform the 512 [[EU]] into 128 [[EU|EU Packets]] (High Voltage to Medium Voltage), then use a LV Transformer to transform the 128 [[EU|EU Packets]] into 32 [[EU|EU Packets]] (Medium Voltage to Low Voltage). All Machines (including the [[BatBox]], [[MFE]], and MFSU) can handle Low Voltage [[EU|EU Packets]] without exploding.

'''You need:'''

Coal 16 
Copper Dust 48 
Diamond 10 
Glowstone Dust 2 
Iron Dust 32 
Lapis Lazuli 38 
Redstone 110 
Rubber 82 
Tin Dust 5 
[http://www.electroduck.com/minecraft/mfsu.txt Full resource sheet]

# Grind the coal into coal dust. Combine 6 of the copper dust with 2 of the tin dust to produce 4 bronze dust. Create 10 [[Energy Crystal]]s. Smelt the remaining dust.
#* You actually only need 3 bronze dust, but the crafting recipe requires that 4 be produced. Every other MFSU created at once requires 3 less copper dust and 1 less tin dust.
# Create 84 [[Uninsulated Copper Cable]]s. Smelt 3 of the bronze dust and all of the iron ingots. Create 4 [[Raw Carbon Fibers | Carbon Fibers]].
#* Similar to the bronze dust, you actually only need 82 cables, but the crafting recipe for copper cables requires that 84 be produced. Every third MFSU created at once requires 3 less copper dust.
# Add rubber insulation to 82 of the copper cables. Combine the carbon fibers into 2 [[Raw Carbon Mesh]] and [[Compressor | compress]] them to [[Carbon Plate]]s. Create 2 [[Mixed Metal Block]]s and compress them to [[Advanced Alloy]] plates. Create 2 [[Machine Block]]s.
# Use the alloy and carbon plates to upgrade one of the Machine Blocks to an [[Advanced Machine]]. Create 13 [[Electronic Circuit]]s and one [[MFE Unit | MFE]].
# Create 6 [[Lapotron Crystal]]s and one [[Advanced Circuit]].
# You can now create your MFSU.

Kalphiter: Batboxes can accept unlimited power

The BatBox is the most basic energy storage device. It is able to store up to forty thousand [[EU]]. It can accept up to 32 EU-Packet power, with unlimited EU/t, from its 5 input faces. It can also emit a current of up to 32 EU/s from its output face.

Like all storage units, its output face is marked by a special texture, which usually faces the player when the block is placed. The direction of the output face can be changed by right-clicking with a [[Wrench]] onto any of the input faces of the block; normally, this will point the output face towards the player, but holding Shift while clicking will point the output face in the opposite direction. Be aware that right-clicking the BatBox while pointing at its output face will dismantle it.

Note that applying a Redstone signal to the BatBox will make it stop emitting power from the output face.

This block can charge most energy storage devices. Likewise, it is very useful to implement BatBoxes to both store power from generators and also as a method of extending the reach of your cable. A typical starter setup of Industrial devices involves a natural generator (such as a wind or solar array for free energy) feeding into a BatBox with a row of copper cable along the front of the Batbox which feeds the back of your Macerator, Furnace, etc (in essence, a T-shaped network). Note that the BatBox resets the cable length energy loss calculations, so they work well to extend your power network; using up to four insulated copper cable segements from the generator to the BatBox and up to four segments away from your BatBox to all your devices without losing any energy. Likewise, they can very easily be daisy chained to extend your storage capabilities.

'''Making order:''' 

''Step 1:'' 
3 Copper Bars - For Copper Cable, 
4 Rubber - For Copper Cable, 
4 Copper Cable - 3 for RE Batteries, 
6 Redstone - For 3 RE Batteries, 
5 Wood, 
12 Tin Bars - For 3 RE Batteries 

''Step 2:'' 
1 Batbox :)
