The Export Bus pulls items and fluids (and other things if supported by addons) from network storage and pushes them into the inventory it is attached to.
For lag reduction, if the Export Bus has not exported anything recently, it enters a “sleep mode” where it runs slowly. Once it successfully exports an item, it wakes up and accelerates to full speed (4 operations per second).
Export Buses are cable subparts.
By default, the bus will not export anything.
Items placed into its filter slots act as a whitelist, allowing only those items to be exported. Items and fluids can be dragged in from JEI/REI even if you don’t physically have them. Right-click with a fluid container (bucket, tank, etc.) to set the fluid itself as the filter instead of the container.
The Export Bus supports the following upgrades:
| Upgrade | Effect |

| Capacity Card | Increases filter slots and adds export order settings. |
| Acceleration Card | Increases the number of items moved per operation. |
| Fuzzy Card | Allows filtering by damage level and/or ignoring item NBT. |
| Crafting Card | Sends crafting requests to the autocrafting system. Can be set to pull from storage first, or always request new crafting. |
| Redstone Card | Adds redstone control (active on high signal, low signal, or once per pulse). |
