You would be able to get 63 different recipes in, but only 9 per machine. Both Interfaces and Molecular Assemblers transfer both power and up to 8 channels, like with most other AE2 blocks. With the channel mechanics that are currently in place, you can place a controller surrounded by 6 different color dense cables and then place 32 p2p connections on each cable, for a theoretical max of 6144 channels per controller, so why in the world would you ever need to have more than one controller. With an advanced AE2 setup, you almost certainly have an ME network going all over your base already, so rather than also running power cables all over your base you could use. Hook up the p2p using ae2 cables and make sure its connected to the SAME network as your destination cable. ago. You set P2P tunnels by crafting the default ME Tunnels, and then right clicking them with an appropriate item. The ME Controller is a block added by Applied Energistics 2. Obviously 6 sides/block would be optimal but that can only happen with a single block, so it's not scalable, similarly 5 sides/block can only happen with 2 blocks, so the best you can get is 4 sides/block, meaning each controller block is. It presents a tech-based, futuristic theme, centered around the concept of using energy and technology to convert matter into energy and vice versa. . 4 Subordination: Respect My AuthoriTAY .

If you have a factory floor with 30/32 channels allocated, you'll likely be very annoyed when some machine that should thematically placed on that factory floor puts you up to 33/32. Each of the fluix cables should be able to carry the 8 interfaces I have attached in their respective rows, and all these channels should be funneled into the dense cables. AE2 Version: rv4-alpha-11. With auto crafting accessible via a p2p connected to the yellow network. As a quick fyi, I never use any dense cables in my base. You can get more by utilizing every side you have and that would make it worth it you also don’t need dense cables coming off each thing you can place p2ps directly on the controllers unless you are doing it for aesthetics. With subnetworks you can automate nearly anything that can be automated. I assume p2p tunnels can't be used to go from 1 flux duct to many. There are 2. There may be more. In one instance, I set up a production line, started adding the little bits of AE I needed and ran out of channels on that line and had move most of it over to a separate line. Replace the left P2P bus (on your controller network) with a Storage Bus.

For the easiest way to automate inscribers, you need: (1) One ME interface. I am obviously doing something wrong and if anyone can. Interior: 135 Tunnels giving 4320 channels, 5 sides on the outside are required to extract these tunnels. It's not channel saving. As you see in the following images you just need to place a ME Interface. While I have used RS and I'll use whatever is in the pack. 2 channels dedicated to to 5 crafting CPU’s (4 small, 1 large) with the rest on interfaces surrounded by assemblers. Other than that, make sure that the entire network has power (as p2p tunnels don't transfer power over each other). The channel usage hasn't been maxed out, so I don't know why it's not showing them in the interface terminal (which keeps scrolling automatically. (5) some EnderIO basic conduit filters.

To get to use the full 32 channels per face, you need to have a dense cable connected from (excluding p2p) the ME Controller to carry the 32 channel signal long enough for you to branch out with normal fluix cables. And you should seriously look up some AE guides if you don't know about priority settings or use of storage bus. This means you can output to as many points as you want, but only input at a single point per tunnel. Channels are not as complex as you make it sound like. On a 3rd color, extract from that 5th inscriber to output back into the original ME Interface. But think about it: each face of a single block on the controller can carry thirty-two channels with a single dense cable. Then wire it a bit downwards/upwards and branch of one two smart cables for each side. ? join the family here ? _____i hope you guys are enjoying the videos theres more to come s.

This allows you to connect channels from that dense cable and, since you can have multiple outputs with P2P tunnels, you could always hook up 16 P2P outputs and use those 32 channels sparingly. Don't connect filing cabinets to an ME system as it will turn the items to "air" inside the filing cabinet. 32 in dense ones. maybe check the cable to the controller. Get a crafting terminal (this is a world changer here). I saw in some old videos that you actually are able to increase number of items to keep stock of by right-clicking it (as you would normally do in any invertory). Devices from AE2 take up channels; so an interface takes a channel, a terminal takes a channel, a drive takes a channel (note that a drive can hold a number of storage cells, and always takes 1 channel). The ME Dense Cable is the only cable that can support 32 channel simultaneously so it can be used as a main data line to connect to another ME Controller or branch off into 8 channel distribution lines via ME Glass Cable, ME. Yup, that's a common assumption people make. The Controller has the ability to transmit data throughout the ME Network using 32 channels per side. I show you how channels, P2P tunnels and autocrafting works. There are arguments to be made about AE2 being more efficient with channels enabled, but it shouldn't really matter much in a single-player game. Note that you can send P2P channels through quantum bridges (but not other P2P tunnels), so if you're careful about P2P'ing everything in the most efficient way possible, you in effect get 32*32 = 1024 channels through a single bridge. Crafting CPU. The Energy Acceptor accepts 16k/tic. Another option is Hulu Live , which has a cloud DVR feature and costs $39. Once the system detects named item 1 has finished it’ll put it and the next 8 components and named item 1 into the chest. N. To carry out 32 channels use a dense cable (any color, different colors don't connect) and then you could use a dense cable to connect your p2p on other dense cables coming off. I have an Empowerer from Actually Additions 2, but it seems to be fighting for bandwidth with my Molecular Assemblers. If it runs out between ticks you can get network resets. Once you have this it opens up the ability to use more than 8 devices and you can remove the energy acceptor. I want to say this is correct from my experience. Last time I used AE2 I had my main network tunneling through itself, I don't see a problem with that. Channels just make the mod not brain dead easy or overpowered, and once you think about it it’s not really something hard to overcome. First and foremost is storage. That's great! Just what I've been looking for. The more devices an AE network has, the more power it requires. So you typically can dispense with the glass fiber power connections on one of the sides. Make a pump and go to the nether and use ender tanks to get the lava back to your base, then use the lava with magmatic dynamos. An expandable and versatile advanced data storage system with a multitude of applications. If you attach a normal on a dense, you still only have 8 channels. A Quick Guide to AE2. This means you can either run 4 pairs of 32 (128, 120 usable) or 32 pairs of 8 (256, 192 usable) across the quantum link since only one cable can go through it. It shows that it supports 32 channels. I decided to go with the subnet design you talked about in your video, although I decided to put a crafting CPU on the subnet and use interfaces, instead of the level emitter/export bus approach. I. It is very central points of the mod. So I have been building my AE2 system inside some compact machines, I hook up my terminal outside of the dimension, and no signal. Think of them as individual cables within the wires you use. (tested this for some time)the cables already viewed by the first player seem to partially work (text is flikkering on the tracker) but once.
