A Cargo Manager is the core part of a cargo management system. It allows items to be moved within a cargo network.

A cargo manager can be crafted in an Enhanced Crafting Table.

A cargo manager is a requirement of every cargo network, as it allows the transfer of items between the nodes in its range. It does not move items by itself: instead, it must be connected to input and output nodes (or advanced output nodes).

To be connected, a cargo manager must be aligned within 6 blocks of a cargo node, in a straight line (no diagonals).

There can only be one cargo manager per cargo network. Only connector nodes can be used to extend its range.

By default, a cargo manager will emit red particles throughout its range, as well as through any connected connector nodes. This visual effect can be turned on or off by right-clicking the cargo manager.
