# Applied Mekanistics
\n_The official Mekanism support addon for AE2._ Please report issues on the issue tracker. Join the AE2 discord server for discussion.<\/p>\n
This is a Forge mod for 1.18.2 which requires both AE2 and Mekanism.<\/p>\n
## Chemical support
\nApplied Mekanistics adds chemical support to existing AE2 devices. For example, this means that you can put an import bus on a chemical tank, export bus on a chemical tank, storage bus on a radioactive waste barrel, attach pressurized tubes to interfaces or use chemicals in crafting recipes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Chemical cells
\nApplied Mekanistics also adds 1k, 4k, 16k and 64k chemical storage cells. You can now store gasses in your ME Drives! Do however note that they don’t support radioactive gasses!<\/p>\n
## Chemical P2P tunnels
\nApplied Mekanistics adds Chemical P2P Tunnels for high-throughput chemical transfer. Simply right click any Mekanism chemical tank on a P2P tunnel to convert it.<\/p>\n
## QIO support for Storage Bus
\nApplied Mekanistics also allows the Storage Bus to interact with the contents of a QIO frequency. Just place the storage bus on the side of a QIO Dashboard.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
## Recipes<\/p>\n
To create a chemical housing, you’ll need to use Osmium ingots instead of Iron or Copper ingots<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The housing can be combined with a cell component to craft a storage cell<\/p>\n
