Setup:
For the simplest setup of a storage network you need a chest, an Inventory(Chest), Cable, a Storage Network Master, and a Storage Inventory. The Inventory Cable must be directly connected to the Inventory, and can be directly connected to the Storage Network Master or indirectly through the use of Storage Cables. The Storage Inventory can be connected to the Storage Network Master by being placed adjacent to it, or connected through Storage Cables. The items in the Inventory can now be accessed by right clicking the Storage Inventory.
Automation:
For Automation three things are required a Crafting Block(Furnace), Processing Cable, and a Controller. The Controller is the central part of the automation process and exactly one is required per network to automate crafting, the Controller can be connected to the network by being adjacent to the Storage Network Controller or connected by a Storage Cable. The Processing Cable needs to be directly connected to the Crafting Block and directly or through storage cables to the network.
To add a recipe, right click the Processing cable to open up its configuration. You will see two 3x3 Inventories as well as two checkboxes. In the left Inventory you put what you want to be processed in the automation process and in the right Inventory you put what you want to be created. Both must be set to have a valid recipe. The left checkbox is used to simulate from which direction the input would be given from the perspective of the Crafting Block and the right would simulate from which side of the block the output would be taken from, this is required for some machines that can only be accessed from specific sides.
The given recipe would put 1 Spruce Wood into the Furnace from the North side and produce one Charcoal that is taken out from the Down side.
All recipes can be seen in the Controller. Important: For every newly created recipe there will be a green checkmark inside the Controller, if this is not changed, the network will craft the recipe so long as the ingredients are available.
