MEGA Cells
ME Greater Accumulation: For when kilobytes just won't do.
About
MEGA Cells is an add-on for Applied Energistics 2 providing higher tiers of storage, ranging in capacity from 1M to as high as 256M, similarly to add-ons of old such as Extra Cells 2 and its successors.
Unlike conventional add-ons in the same vein, MEGA does things quite differently, featuring its own dedicated progression line and components to further augment and challenge existing AE2 players' set-ups, while emphasising a distinct visual style with jet-black colour schemes.
- 1M - 256M item and fluid cells (standard + portable)
- MEGA Crafting CPUs with bespoke all-black crafting units: 1M - 256M storage, 4-threaded co-processing unit and matching monitor
- Integration with multiple other AE2 add-ons such as Applied Mekanistics (1-256M chemical cells) and Applied Botanics (1-256M mana cells)
- MEGA Bulk Item Storage Cell: Designed for infinite storage of a single item type
- Bulk Compression: Automatic conversion between ingots, nuggets and blocks for bulk item cell storage, with full support for auto-crafting via the Decompression Module
- MEGA Pattern Provider: Double-capacity storage for processing patterns
- Superdense Energy Cell and Greater Energy Card: Increased energy storage for AE networks and portable devices
...and more still to come.

- Made Bulk Cells less aggressive in updating their available stacks to report to an ME network - Removed some extra `AEItemKey` boxing ### Shame~~ful~~less Plug: I have recently set up both a Sponsors button on my GitHub along with a [Ko-Fi page](https://ko-fi.com/gripe) for those interested in chipping in monetarily. In some sense, I avoided doing so for a long while until now, since it always felt a bit "wrong" to be asking for tips/donations from people for these—especially at the moment, given how little time I've been able to allocate towards modding again and towards maintaining my stuff. That being said, things have been a bit rough for me at the moment outside of modding (generally IRL), and I figured it wouldn't hurt to at least have these avenues open. However much or little you choose to send (or not, it's your call!) helps a bit either way. In any case, thank you all once again for your continued support in simply playing around with these mods and add-ons. I am but one man chipping away at these almost entirely solo (albeit with plenty of help, insight and expertise from the upstream AE2 peeps and communities like ATM and NeoForge), just for the sake of something to keep myself occupied with and to enjoy doing. I am wholly grateful that this many players have also enjoyed them enough to keep using and playing with in general.
- Reworked Bulk Compression (once again) to greatly simplify serialisation - May hopefully also fix a bug preventing players from joining LAN worlds on some large modpacks. - Added Hungarian localisation (courtesy of @bayi) - Added Brazilian Portuguese localisation (courtesy of @IzaDellaCruz)
Amended Compression cutoffs to not be so hastily cleared when Bulk Cells are emptied.
