Drives

There are 3 categories of drives: Item, Fluid and Gas, each with different sizes. The different Drives can only go into their respective servers

The Tier 3 milestone lets you unlock the base item drive, the additional drive unlocks are under the DS tab in the MAM

Unfiltered partitions allow any item to fill that partition, best practice: have all partitions filtered for desired item Drive Recipes may change in a future update

Drive Terminal

Setting up and partitioning drives is done using the Drive Terminal

  • First insert a drive and drag the orange bar up to lock in a drive, the drive can then be named (Optional) and formatted.

    • Once Locked the drive information will show the details of the drive

  • Once initially formatted the GUI will now have different options

    • Edit Drive - create and edit drive partitions adding filters at the same time

    • Drive Templates - create and set partition templates to pre format the drives with pre-configured partition quantities and sizes.

    • Wipe Drive - Delete all remaining items in the drive and remove all partitions

  • Once Drive is formatted and configured, lowering the orange bar will unlock the drive and you can drag the drive back into your inventory.

  • setting item filters in the Edit Drive GUI is still required when drive templates are used.

  • as of writing drives cannot be emptied back into the network, that will change with a later update
