Supplier Module

The Supplier Module is a Chassis Logistics Pipe module that maintains configured stock levels in an adjacent inventory by requesting items from the logistics network. Two variants exist: Passive and Active.

Variants

Variant Chip Behavior
Passive Supplier Module Redstone Chip Requests items only when the inventory falls below configured minimum — waits for a network trigger
Active Supplier Module Amethyst Chip Proactively checks stock levels on a schedule and requests replenishment before the inventory empties

Behavior

When installed in a Chassis Logistics Pipe, this module monitors an adjacent inventory and requests items from the network to maintain configured stock levels.

Passive: Only requests items when triggered — for example, when the inventory reports falling below the minimum. Lower network overhead.

Active: Periodically polls the inventory and proactively orders replenishment before stock runs out. Better for machines that consume items continuously.

Tips

  • Use Passive for backup stockpiles where empty occasionally is acceptable
  • Use Active for machine input buffers (furnaces, kilns) that must never run dry
  • Configure minimum stock quantities per item type via the module GUI in the chassis
  • Combine with a Provider Module on a nearby chassis to create a closed-loop supply system
