# AE2 Lightning Tech
\n
\nAE2 Lightning Tech is an addon for Applied Energistics 2 that turns lightning into a real part of your automation chain. It adds Lightning as a ME-storable resource, builds a material progression around Overload Crystals, and expands AE2 with advanced machines and high-throughput Overloaded network infrastructure.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### Lightning System<\/p>\n
Collect natural strikes, generate artificial lightning, and store Lightning energy inside your ME network. Lightning works as a dedicated resource used by machines, recipes, and later progression.<\/p>\n
### Overload Materials<\/p>\n
Progress through a new material chain based on Overload Crystals, lightning transformation, crystal growth, advanced alloys, processors, and other key components used across the mod.<\/p>\n
### Processing Machines<\/p>\n
Build a lightning-powered production line with machines for transformation, assembly, crystal catalysis, weather control, and high-throughput parallel processing.<\/p>\n
### Overloaded ME Network<\/p>\n
Upgrade your AE2 infrastructure with Overloaded network components designed for much higher channel capacity, larger pattern workflows, wireless routing, and remote machine connections.<\/p>\n
## Dependencies<\/p>\n
