I Ranked all the Storage Mods in All The Mods 9 

Hope you're all having an amazing day, everyone! First let me talk about the Elephant in the Room "Mekanism" and the missing QIO. I am very sorry that I missed it, personally I only use Mekanism for Energy and Resource Production/Automation so even Black Hole Units were kinda a new thing for me. So thats why you have here a quick summary on my opinion on "QIO": PRO: - Massive Space (16 Bil. Items x 8182 Types in the biggest Drive) - Straightforward Setup - Nice UI CON: - High-Cost / both RS and AE2 are cheaper than QIO - Multi Step Crafting Recipes > both for the QIO and the Drives (Fision Reactor, Polonium, Antimatter, etc.) Overall, I would rate QIO as somewhere between low A-tier and high B-tier if it were a standalone mod. However, when combined with Black Hole Units, which I find to have no use since we have functional/sophisticated storages, the overall rating for Mekanism averages out to low B-tier. Additionally, I overlooked Botania's storage option, "Corporea Networks," and the quick assessment is that it's F-tier. It's very convoluted and unintuitive to use, and it's not easily accessible either. If I should have missed any other Storage Mods please let me know and I will share my opinion on them. Please keep in mind that this video is only about ATM9 Storage Mods since I saw people asking for a Mods which are not in the Modpack. Thank you for watching the video and I hope you will be back for the next video in the series!

Man I wish someone had made video tutorials for 12 yr old me, well exploring mods is fun on its own but a guide to it always an upgrade

When you hovered AE2 over F tier I literally shouted out: "Don't you dare!" hahahah

you missed some key points about the traveller's backpack: it can be worn at the same time as the sophisticated backpack since it has its own dedicated player slot, it can also be placed in world and comes with a deployable sleeping bag, it can be upgraded to include a crafting table, and it comes with tool swapper slots

I totally agree with almost every ranking in this video but i feel like you massively underrated how powerfull sophisticated storage actually is, you can upgrade a double chest to netherite tier then add the stackupgrades like in the backpacks. If you than add a controller you can stack a bunch of these which you can than connect to a storage bus saving you the hassle off dealing with storage cells all together. Also this seems to be a lot less laggy as it spreads outs the items over multiple blocks

This tier list would have been insanely helpful if I didn’t already know about these. Can we get a power generation pod tier list? Would love to know what’s available and how it stacks up to other methods.

Mekanism also has QIO storage option with its export and import totaly wireless. Event its terminal is wireless. Quite expensive but supermassive QIO drive holds 16 billion items of any kind. I usually use QIO at the endgame with AE2. They complement each other quite well. I didnt know about bins before this video. Doubt i will use the bins.

I think the QIO makes mekanism at least B tier no? Massive amounts of storage, doesn’t need energy to run, completely wireless import and export, hand held storage access etc

I loved the idea of ranking mods! I can’t wait to see the next videos of the series

IMO IF deserves slightly better than F, the Black Hole Controller unit lets you slot black hole units into the controller, making the equivalent of a 16x16 drawer that can store both items and fluids, making it one of the best *tanks* out there.

Impressive editing. All the text and images are so high quality, major props.

I 100% agree with the ranking. I was taken a back a little when we had the same idea for ranking lol

I really hope you continue this video series! There's so much about the ATM pack that just gets buried by how many different ways there are to do the same thing. Sometimes that's fun - like having one person focus tech and another so it via magic - but often times it's just confusing.

Yo, I didn't know how badly i needed a video like this. Not only does the simple explanation really help but the ranking kinda of sets a goal for each of my play throughs thank you so much

Thank you for the video! Your channel has been very helpful for my first time getting into ATM, It's easy to get a little overwhelmed with all the options. That being said, I would like to see a video covering the different power(FE) generation/storing mods!

Looking foward to your next video, its so so helpful. Keep up the fantastic work!

Best tutorials about modded minecraft/atm. I can’t believe you have so few subscribers. The video/sound quality is good and I understand everything you explained. I like that you present your builds in a way, that a beginner understands them while you show the way with the maximum efficiency for a specific mod.

I rate this video S tier. The editing explanation and pacing were all so amazing, cant wait for more tier lists.

This is definitely a very helpful video, as I didn't know of a couple of these. The format of a tier list does make it a bit tough on mods such as enderchests and dimensional storage as they do one thing really well. A possible suggestion is that you can give a 1-5 on three different things for example: Cost, complexity and overal usefulness as an example.Maybe on the end too you can give your favorite for early, mid and end game

Really excited for this series!

Great idea for a series, and one I am very much looking forward to. I actually knew of all the options in this one, and I mostly agree with your ranking - but there will be other categories where I can learn a lot. I'd love to see videos on tool and power mods, and maybe separate the power mods by early and late game?

Best ATM 9 youtuber, even if im not playing ATM 9, i still having fun with guides such as Ars nouveau and other

AE2 has some drawbacks like pure crystal growing and the channels, but AE2 stuff adds crystal growers and enderIO has the ME conduits which negates the need for channels.

One that was missed in applied and refined is both also can use other storage mods as part of its storage. With a storage bus you can just about use anything as a storage block instead of just the cells. It’s great for things like storage shelves since you can displayed for quick grabbing but still be included in the massive storage too

Great vid, the only storage mods I use, are in your top 3. Cant wait for next vid

Personally I find AE2's autocrafting way more versatile and flexible than anything refined storage can offer, making it better than refined storage at least in end-game as setting up auto-crafting for many different mods crafting stations is much easier. Also AE2 things adds a disk in that doesnt restrict item types, though once you are late-mid game you should be able to churn enough disks out for it not to matter.

Genuinely amazing video, thanks for making this.

Thank you for the video, i never knew some of these mods had storage options so it was quiet a surprise

Excited for the next videos of this format

Thanks for this! I've been limiting myself to Refined storage, Functional Storage, and Sophisticated backpacks for the most part, may give some of these a try. Didn't even know about the control block in Sophisticated Storage, seems like that would be extremely useful early game in combination with Functional Storage.

the video ive been needing thank you

when you talked about refined Storage you said that unlike AE2 its disks dont care about the amount of item types in the system, but AE2 in ATM9 does have a addon called AE2 Things that adds disks that dont care about the amount of item type you have in the system.

I always go for sophisticated backpack with magnet and deposit upgrades, coupled with drawer controller and similar, it makes it so easy to collect then neatly dump stuff where it should go. Also these backpacks are great for farms as "chest" especially with the magnet, stack and void upgrades (sure the sophisticated chests can do the same but you can just pickup the backpack and carry it over your main storage system, or you can move your quarry with it). Nice video, super useful, great job. I am back trying again ATM9 and all your videos help a lot

Excellent presentation and I appreciate hearing your rationale for it. high quality video essay!

5:20 You can actually just kill the bookwurms after you cannect everything and it stays connected, removing the entity lag.

I loved the video, very useful and well explained

Very good vid❤ Needed this

Very useful video, I've been playing modded for a long while now and tend to always go for ae2, so this is useful in showing how the other mods work in a simple way. I personally have never used the ender chests mod as a storage mod as I see it more as an item transfer mod (them in effect becoming a wireless pipe, and never having any items sitting inside for a long period of time). Also never disrespect ae2 by hovering over F...

Thats a brilliant series Idea, thank you ❤

Amazing Quality! Keep going!

create's item vaults surprisingly powerful. I recall once pairing one with a tinkers construct workbench to make a rudimentary but very cheap and simple early game setup!

great editing fantastic video subbed :)

I'm pretty experienced with most storage mods, but it is great to see and learn about the lesser used ones! One quick thing though, how about EnderIO's storage system? know it used to have a storage system to it, but I'm not sure if it is still in the newest version.

I really appreciate this video. Not does it help with ATM9, but other modpacks too. Didn’t realize the magic mods had storage options. I hope you talk about server side lag from certain mods. I been told that RS impacts servers more so than AE2. Create mod blocks are considered entities too so it can cause a lot of lag when used a lot.

The GOAT posts again

Sophisticated Backpacks has also become one of my true must-have mods these days. The portable carrying capacity really does get truly insane when you start getting to the "inception" upgrade, which lets you load a bunch of other bags into your main bag, and you can set it so that things the bags pick up will automatically go to the nested bags. Plus things like portable crafting tables, furnaces, and all of that... it is a definite must-have, with Sophisticated Storage being a handy companion that uses a lot of the same logic. I should really play around with Refined Storage, though, if I ever get to the point of making systems that need more robust, unified storage. AE2 has been one of my go-to mods for a very long time, but Sophisticated Backpacks and Storage have just... generally taken its slot for accessibility's sake, and the lack of need for power. Still, I'll ALWAYS love the modpacks that are built around an AE2 Spatial Chamber, like the Material Energy series.

I just started playing modded with stuff like the FTB Packs and man Refined Storage became part of me already, if im not using that thing i go insane

I'm so sad that Tom's Simple Storage hasn't made it into ATM9. It was really nice for an super early game storage solution in ATM8. I know that it's ultimately not very good, but it was so nice for super early game.

Danks are great, and I think not enough people use them. Filtered pickup lets you set what you want to go into the dank, so all mass-quantity blocks like dirt/cobble etc go in. Only issue is a minor bug where even if you have a slot locked, if you take out all the items, it sometimes doesn't recognize the slot item to pick up again. With a dank 7 you essentially have a drawer with like 30 slots and max netherite upgrades. You can even attach an external storage to the dock and treat it like a drawer system, but in one block.

Glad to see people not completely bypassing Ars Nouveau, and it raises points I never noticed. The lag never became an issue, because I just use a single bookwyrm connected to a storage controller, or Minecolonies warehouse block. For the same reasons, the noise of opening chests is also not an issue. I just enjoy having a storage system so early in the game, since it needs no power and is crafted with a bit of gold, archwood, maybe some lapis, etc. But I still carry a backpack, I dunno how my remote storage could be thwarted (outside of leaving the dimension) but I don't want to find out and have no backup system.

Thank you, please keep it up

Fun and very useful trick with danks early game: set up a dock with a linked dank and hopper out the contents into storage like double chests. This allows you to very early game have a dank in your inventory you dump things into and they empty into your base allowing you to go on a mining trip even without a backpack.

Absolutely Gamechanging infos for the Storage there... TY!

I get rating ender chest low as a storage but if ranking as storage it is more support. I see the mod more as a form of item transport, even a support in that catigory as well

That storage scanner is so op! I want to take it to a dungeon or bastion and grab everything from all the chests without bothering to go in.

UNREAL VIDEO SOOO AMAZING KEEP IT UP PLS

Functional Storage in A tier hurts lmao. It is incredibly useful for mass storage of single items and can be even better with the storage controller which can be hooked up to your AE2/RS system via an External Storage/Storage Bus. It saves a lot of types on your disks since it literally only takes up 1 slot. It is an easy S tier for me.

Great list! Any chance you could put a tutorial for AE2 out? I always tend to get stuck around the autocrafting stage and I can never wrap my head around it ;-; thanks! :D

I’m in dire need of a botania tutorial. I see a lot of potential in the mod but I just can’t figure out how to do things ._. Btw great video, I’ve already watched all of your videos, your quality is over the top. You’ll get far

Sophisticated storage is an s tier in my opinion u can have a portable jukebox at all times for an example that and i heard the developer might be adding more upgrade templates i hope he adds power generation through fuel

Love the video! Next can you do mods that add tools?

Ender Chests with Logistics Pipes is S+ tier. Only downside is it takes 3 inventory slots to use (one for requester, 2 for I/O) but it's obscenely cheap, works cross dimensionally and .. drumroll.... you can integrate it with AE. You'll feel its power when you dump your entire inventory of netherrack into your deposit pouch and watch as it's instantly whisked into your item system. Not even AE can do that. LP also has a really powerful autocrafting system that's not only inexpensive but can integrate any processing with a stable input and output and can also do so recursively. I think at this point I use its autocrafting for things it wasn't designed for more than I use it for actual crafting. You're probably thinking that LP is insanely strong with that alone but it gets even better if you add computers; that's right, you can use this little mod to run ACE on the server running it and- oh, they patched that? Darn. Only thing that comes close I can think of is PneumaticCraft's player interface which can change your inventory directly. Only reason I put it a tier below is because it requires you go all the way through PCs irritating progression* and it's also a lot harder and more limited to use. (I actually lost a playtester to this, they got extremely frustrated and literally deleted the pack because of how tedious the mod was)

Great video ! if you use the mod "AE2 things" or "AE addition" you can have a disk that doesn't have limited types of items, with a maximum of 65M items per disk !

Now I've been using the ender chest mod as a logistics solution rather than a storage solution. And only today did I learn I can increase the capacity

Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers!

Id love to see a video ranking all the power options possible in ATM9

I really find Danks to be top tier when combined with functional storage. I carry a tier 7 dank set to pick up all, and have another in a dock connected to my functional storage controller with a 16x16 room surrounded by single storage drawers. This way when I go exploring or ming, I just let my dank pick up everything and it goes into my storage room if I already have a drawer marked, if not, I add the item to a drawer when I get back to base. I've plenty of spare drawers, and everything is organized. I think that's the main reason I can't get to like refined or AE2. It just feels so disorganized the way it puts everything into storage randomly.

While Botania doesn't quite have a ready and forget storage system, it does include multiple blocks that can be combined with vanilla item storage systems to make a system that allows item requests and on-demand crafting(and accompanying blocks). While it certainly isn't the "best" (read: easiest, or most practical), it is unique and can fill gaps in other mods through the wireless, free and easily automatable item transfer

I wish i knew about storage controller when I started playing 😭 I had to search trough all of my chests and I finally moved everything into RS storage when creeper blew the chests up Traveller's backpack would be so helpful to me early game, but I play no frills version and its not here RS storage addon also has upgradable crafters up to netherite crafter with many slots and incredible speed

I agree with most of this ranking. I probably would have placed integrated dynami cs at a high b tier - it is VERY cheap, but not at all intuitive (I always have to go look it up whenever I build an IDS). As for next category, I would think exploration would be the next logical step, as almost any progression is going to depend on it. :)

13:30 Germany mentioned 🍺🥨

You ranked Mekanism storage but completely ignored the entire mekanism QIO storage system?

in the past i often used refined storage because it was easier that AE2 but i encountered a glitch that storage cells get corrupted and i cannot use it when i quit the game and enter it again.

My only complaint about this video is that you missed the repository in Ars Nouveau. The repository is a single block with a double chest worth of storage, with it also not producing sound when used by bookwyrms. It is easy to set up, and yet is arguably one of the best storage options in terms of aesthetics. Although it lacks a bit in the late game, it is extremely powerful in the middle game or even before.

AMAZING VIDEO!

so thats what its name was....i had to go 4hours in 1 dungeon trying to get the atm kit thing bc i didnt know what the storage scanner was called

Btw ars has it's own storage block to interact with rather than chests called a repository. They don't make sound as far as I recall.

Thanks for the video. Could you do the same with energy generation mod please ?

man your videos are EPIC 🤣 BUT you missed one storage mod. the create item vault storage and his multiblock builds

I think that when ranking mods for ATM9 specifically which has Apotheosis its important to note that Refined Storage's lack of limit on types CAN cause problems by corrupting chunks when storing a lot of NBT items. For a long pack like ATM9 with many mods that have NBT items this is a consideration when picking ae2 vs refined, although a majority of players will not encounter this issue unless they just raid dungeons all day, or have a gem mob farm and dump it into their system.

Give some credit to fluid drawers (C tier), The QIO system from mekanism (F tier), and personal or team locked ender chests (I'd say B tier but C tier is totally fair with your criteria) Great video!!!

your thumbnails just make me wanna click the video i love this channel

Lol wanted to kinda dispute the Enderchest mod placement, but wasnt really aware of dimensional storage being pretty much an upgrade for crossdimension item transportation

great video can you do this for pipes or transporting things

Very nice Video, what are the shaders that are used?

You missed Hyperbox as a storage solution, you cram the other storage in and pick it up and place it down whenever you need access, it's a mobile base!

Please if you haven't played mekanism to its fullest please do you might change your mind about certain things like how mekanism is expensive it is not. You can get something called a digital miner pretty early and you will never go mining again and will be rich with every type of resource. I managed to finish mekanism in a few days only playing it once before and when i played again it was a little less then a year. JEI helps a lot to but mekanism has its struggles like any mod does but it is not hard at all and if your only using it for power then you don't even know everything it can offer like 5x ores which in the end will get you that 16 billion storage in no time at all. I would say the most annoying thing is its just time consuming in some moments. Solid A tier for me on mekanism also great tier list video keep it up

I've never seen a more accurate tier list in my life

I don't know if any other mods can but the schematicannon can pull items from the occultism wormhole

You forgot about Mekanism's *other* storage system, the QIO network. Don't worry it's arguably also F teir, but it's an equivalent to RS/AE2 that's accessible in the very end game.

man i miss the old storage drawer mod, sophisticated storage feels so clunky

good to know the two storage mods im familiar with are S-tier

Keep up these amazing videos bro holy fuck they are insanely helpful pls keep going and posting videos

I would have loved to see where you would have placed botanias corporea network

Thank you for choosing Germany as your Enderchest

I always default to refined storage. I honestly dont focus too much on auto crafting an love the simplicity of it. Also its components are easier to craft

I think RF tool is insanely underrated, I would place it in SS, once u got the cheap wireless acess, u can just hide the controller, so who cares bout aesthetics here?? 2ndly my main setup in the first hour of the game is sophisticated chests, sophisticated controller, storage drawer controller, both adjecent to RF scanner, set RF scanner range to 1, select the 2 controllers, and u got the best storage systems till u need automation. U can even change priority by moving the found interfaces in the scanner up, so to have the drawer controller first which vor me has void upgrades on like stone, deep slate n stuff works best, then just build a wall of sophisticated chests, usually 4x4 is enough for me

Very nice, i was used to do some menril things and the storage system but it seems menril can bug servers etc

I confess that I was more curious to know what these options are in the top left corner of the screen every time the inventory is opened

I really hope you starts a serie of ATM9 playthrough i really liked u
