=== Drawer Controller ===

The Drawer Controller is an [[HV]] gated add-on block that turns a bank of connected drawers into a single accessible unit for [[Logistics]]. Right-click-hold or right-double-click on the Controller's face will auto-deposit all items in the player's inventory which match the contents of any drawer the Controller is connected to and has space available. Empty drawers are never filled from a player's deposits. In GT:NH Drawer Controllers are far more limited in their range and drawer capacity compared to the standard version of Storage Drawers. Only fifty drawer blocks (1x1, 1x2, and 2x2 all count as one each for this purpose) can be accessed, and they must be connected either by orthogonally touching the Controller, or another drawer / trim that touches the Controller, within a radius of four. The Drawer Controller's maximum range is thus a 9x9x9 cube, with itself in the center. These limits are to prevent performance issues on servers when combined with [[Applied Energistics 2]]. Single Players and private servers can adjust the limitations in <code>/''your_instance''/config/StorageDrawers.cfg</code>, under the <code>controller</code> category, <code>I:maxDrawers=50</code> and <code>I:range=4</code> if desired.

There are three different keys in Storage Drawers - Personal Key, Concealment Key, and Drawer Key. Right-clicking on a drawer toggles the key's effect on/off for that drawer, or right-clicking on a Controller applies/removes the effect from the whole network/cube. Personal Key locks a drawer to a specific player, preventing others from interacting with it, applying a gold bordered keyhole at the top center. The Concealment Key shows/hides all item renders on drawers. This can be useful when using Storage Drawers in areas the player never accesses directly for increased performance. Drawer Key is the most used of the three, and locks/unlocks a drawer to a specific item. By default if the last item is removed from a drawer it becomes blank, when locked it is always limited to accepting only that specific item. Locked drawers are marked with a black keyhole at the top center.
