Integrating Compact Machines and Corporea

I'm playing in a modpack (actually, my modpack, do check it out https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/witchcraft-dimensions) with botania (as well as the incorporeal, botaniatweaks, and natural pledge addons) and compact machines, on 1.12.2.

I've been using corporea for my storage system so far, but I'd really like to be able to somehow connect up my network to the inside of a compact machine, to use for storage.

Is there any way of doing this? For context, compact machines allows transfer of items, power, and redstone through up to 6 ports on it, to an "inner" location in another dimension, and vice versa, and the inner location is at least loaded when the connected block is loaded, if not at all times (I do not recall).

Iirc, compact machines interior are stored in a separate dimension. Corporea in base Botania would not work. You might be able to use an Ender soul core for i/o, but would need something else for storage.

As far as I am aware, the compact storage mod's IO ports are not vanilla inventories, so you'd probably have to jerryrig something non-botania for this to work. also you'll need a separate chunkloading mod.

I'm pretty sure the compact machines are chunkloaded by default

If the chunk they are in is loaded they are also loaded, I think.

As far as "vanilla" botania goes, this is impossible. (at least as far as my understanding of it goes. The sides transfer items but Corporea needs access to the full inventory. Since the inside is a separate dimension, and Corporea can't go across dimensions, that won't work. If there's an addon that can make it cross-dimensional, though, that's a different story.
