Summary

This page documents the Extra Cells integration exposed to Lua by OpenComputers. It extends AE network-facing components with gas listing support.

Availability

  • Dependency: ec
  • Label: integration-required

Component Names

  • me_controller
  • me_interface

What This Integration Is Good For

  • Listing stored gases available through an Extra Cells AE network.
  • Extending existing AE controller and interface automation with gas awareness.

Components

me_controller

When the ec integration is available, me_controller gains one additional gas-related callback.

getGasesInNetwork()

  • Syntax: getGasesInNetwork(): table
  • Purpose: Return all gas stacks currently stored in the AE network.
  • Returns:
    • A Lua array of gas stack descriptor tables.
  • Usage notes:
    • Only fluid entries recognized by Extra Cells as gases are returned.
    • This supplements the normal appeng network inspection callbacks.

me_interface

Block me_interface components also gain the same gas callback when backed by an Extra Cells-capable network.

getGasesInNetwork()

  • Syntax: getGasesInNetwork(): table
  • Purpose: Return all gas stacks currently visible in the connected AE network.
  • Returns:
    • A Lua array of gas stack descriptor tables.
  • Usage notes:
    • This is most useful when your automation is already centered on interface blocks instead of controllers.

Example

local component = require("component")
local me = component.me_controller

for _, gas in ipairs(me.getGasesInNetwork()) do
  print(gas.label or gas.name, gas.amount)
end
