An ad-hoc network only has 8 channels available before the whole thing shuts off. A "Sub-Network" is a separate ME Network that augments another network. All you need to do is stick the metal piece in a potted plant to ground it into the soil. AE2 is very usable without the Controller, you get eight channels and more with a subnetwork. You can't have more than 1 controller on a network, but adjacent controllers. If a network is powered, it is powered on both sides of a tunnel. yep it requires more channels since each interface uses one. On a 3rd color, extract from that 5th inscriber to output back into the original ME Interface. Each building or area gets its own P2P tunnel. " If those are Energy Cells, then we will probably need pictures of your setup to figure out what is going wrong. This is not at all like the IC2 nerf. 2. Its a little more of a challenge to setup. Eevenin. I hooked up a controller with 1 p2p tunnel on a face (and a quartz fibre/white cable combo for power) which feeds into a smart cable as a test. 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). Something to keep in mind is that, with the Type limit, you are encouraged to build more, smaller Storage Cells. ago. Animals and Pets Anime Art Cars and Motor Vehicles Crafts and DIY Culture, Race, and Ethnicity Ethics and Philosophy Fashion Food and Drink History Hobbies Law Learning and Education Military Movies Music Place Podcasts and Streamers Politics Programming Reading, Writing,. This can easily be overrun when you get into auto crafting and or lots of storage locations. I've got some extensive AE2 setup in my base, and I'm having a weird problem where some of my devices on the physical periphery of the network don't have channels. Tunnels are 1 input to N outputs. First and foremost is storage. 7. In Minecraft version 1. (3) 5 inscribers. A Controller can provide up to 32 channels per facing if dense cable is used. Doesnt matter which terminal, even the Fluid Terminal of Extra Cells 2 does count. More Topics. The Terminals, Crafting CPUs, and ME Interfaces all have to be on the same network. So with just my auto crafters I'm using 240 channels! The P2P Tunnel for ME, for instance, passes through channels. Regular ME cables carry 8 channels, while their Dense counterpart can carry up to 32 channels. [back of p2p] > cable > [back of p2p] won't work unless you connect the cable. The first tier of AE2 tech, such as the , Certus Quartz Wrench, Certus Quartz Cutting Knife, and Certus Quartz tools, uses Certus Quartz as the primary crafting ingredient. Also cable anchors disable a connection. This afternoon i'm going to aim to make the most potential one using smart cable only to see what size a good automated crafting AE system can do with only smart cable (#Challenge). Get 1 cable which has 8 channels connected on ONE of the controller cuboid face and another cable on another face without touching the other cable and you have 8 plus 8 channels/blocks you can connect to your ae2 network . About. CREDAAAAAAAOOOO. With channels/controllers disabled you no longer have to worry about how many connections are on a line. TY. yawner42. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcutsWhen adding a controller to a P2P network, I am able to run 16 different P2P lines. Surround the interface with 6 assemblers. Basically, a single face of a controller can connect to a P2P input bus using a single channel. Suppose you have 32 channels going into a P2P tunnel, you can pass those channels to another point on your network. I'll add that this connection is directional too, which is probably where your confusion came from. If I move the devices in closer by as little as a single block, I can get a channel. Applied Energistics 2 (AE2) is a mod for Minecraft that adds advanced storage and automation systems to the game. See the link in my edited comment for the current discussion around this feature. But even a second dense cable placed on a bottom corner only picks up 2 more channels instead of the other 6. If multiple cables or devices are put together, the system just reroutes the signal path. I'm using the ME Dense Cable. These are all working fine. First 5 Minutes covers general information. The Energy Acceptor converts most mods energy form to AE to power the Network, although, using a Quartz Wrench a Player may choose the preferred power unit. View attachment 14508. 0 for Minecraft 1. The only mods I presently have installed are TE, AE2 and MFR, but I am open to installing others. 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. 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. You main building has all the ME storage and a crafting terminal and now you want to connect the factory, where. The next step is to get some auto-crafting up and running, but I'm having trouble connecting even a few machines. Power will flow but not data, so those 8 devices will not use channels on your main network. And this is how ae2 work my friend . I assume p2p tunnels can't be used to go from 1 flux duct to many. I highly suggest anyone concerned with AE2 play it and get an understanding of it before judging it off one part of a spotlight.

The pack was made by Bacon_DonutAE2 for Newbies. 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. The ME Interface acts as an in between when working with pipes, tubes, networks, or machines from other mods. Today is the f. This can be done via the ME Interface Terminal, or you can just place it there by hand. So you have to remove 3 of the drive arrays to properly max out the main network. (4th picture) So if you make each set of the controllers max size and have all the faces connect to the center network you can have ALOT of channels. Even if you have enough overall power to cover everything, you might not have enough tick-to-tick surge. ago.

Your one 1k Crafting Storage provides 1024 bytes, so you can ask your AE System with its puny 1k Crafting CPU to run this craft 170x, but it'll flat out refuse to do it 171x. Chris Becke said: First - use more smart cables. Its closest competition, Refined Storage, is more of a tool; it provides a very similar set of abilities, but lacks any significant challenges of its own. In between the input and output tunnels, you can use standard glass cables, as the tunnels themselves only use one channel. I will say that AE2 has some cool and creative mechanics, like having to grow crystals that are "purified" with sand and water and. This means you can output to as many points as you want, but only input at a single point per tunnel. The P2P tunnel block itself needs 1 Channel. Crafting CPU. ago.

Put an anchor on the bridge at the bank end and add a dense cable to the top of the controller. Just stick an energy acceptor on your main cable and you should be good. TIL how awesome P2P networks are in Applied Energistics. for ae2 stuff their network tool shows power levels. Server address is sb. We try to simplify complicated matter so that everyone can enjoy the mods being shown. It only requires you to use AE2 items in the recipe for RS items, so it's not unlocked too early if you drop the mod in. Amount of extensions is only limited by how many P2P tunnels there are connected to the ME controller multiblock structure. g. With an ME Controller (which can be multiple blocks), you can get 32 channels/face (but assume 8, as that's all non-"dense" cable can carry) Use "cable anchors" or different colors of cable to keep adjacent cables from connecting, so you can make full use of your controller sides. The 5 sides can carry 160 channels, and since 135 are for. AE2 is definitely more powerful than Refined Storage except for fluid handling. Join. Use multiple cells/drives. More Topics.

For the most part, consider it less an update and more a whole new mod that just happens to. I added an "output" p2p tunnel and linked them using the memory card. Not sure where you got that info from. Main network on that one p2p system: 56 channels / 32 max Subnetwork: 8/8 channels. Cons: You can't really do autocrafting. AE2's analog is that storing a new item takes a lot of data, while each extra item after that only takes 1 bit (1/8th of a byte). As I recall, you can't put P2P (or any other) nodes directly on dense cable. So those outer controllers are indeed necessary since you want to transmit 32 channels (each connected to a a p2p tunnel carrying up to 32 channels itself). Place 5 additional interfaces on the assemblers on the top and each of the 4 cardinal directions. It is the new and overhauled version of the original Applied Energistics mod. Or just go into the config and set "channels" under Networkfeatures to false. Put the Encoded Pattern in the ME Interface. 180.

The more complex the recipe, and the more of that item you are wanting, the more CPU it takes to make the job. Placing them directly against a controller will provide 32 channels but will not provide a way to see how many are in use. In between the input and output tunnels, you can use standard glass cables, as the tunnels themselves only use one channel. Rest of the video is a more in-depth demonstration of how they work, and how to design with them in mind. Even without the perfect ME controller layout, it's pretty easy to get lots of channels. 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. #4. This makes it the Input Tunnel. In short, to use ID, all you need to do is use a world block exporter, with a logic card set to filter the block placed to be the one you want the flower converting, and a world block importer with the logic card set as a filter to import only the transformed product. level 1 VT-14 · 3y Request Based Autocrafting (in mass). maybe check the cable to the controller.

First of all is there a way to have "infinite" channels on a cable. For every 32 drives, you'll need one P2P tunnel on the controller. ago. So I am pretty sure the mod author has it set where there is a small delay between checking every connection so that it causes less strain. 0. When I connect a dense cable to the center of one face of the cube, the connection shrinks to a smart cable size/display scheme and shows only 8/32 channels used. Welcome to the Applied Energistics Mod!This mod is all about digital storage and is much more complicated to it's counter part Refined Storage. AE2 itself adds Certus Quartz Crystal, and makes use of vanilla's Nether Quartz as well. 1. 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. Both Interfaces and Molecular Assemblers transfer both power and up to 8 channels, like with most other AE2 blocks. I've come to the conclusion that people who complain about running out of channels are either not trying very hard, or haven't ever actually used AE2. MK234. You Shift-right click on a P2P tunnel with the memory card to save its setting to the card. The actual 100% reliable way to go about this is with the Level Emitter with a crafting card, set to "emit. It's technically possible to fill up an entire hard drive with the data required to store completely empty (literally 0 byte) files. I'm aware of that. I rarely make more than 16 of each color dense cable. On default configuration a normal cable holds 8 channels, a dense cable holds 32. This means you can output to as many points as you want, but only input at a single point per tunnel.

The Smart Cable is a covered cable capable of transmitting up to 8 channels and displays (on the sides of the cable) the current number of channels being used. The only complaint I have are the much too complicated ways to craft things and get materials. 1. 7 x 10 103 number of states, which is a formidable number. Compact Machine Tunnels (the connection from inside walls to the outside faces) will replicate any Forge Capabilities (a code thing used in many mods) between the blocks next to the tunnel and outside face. You can use storage busses. That basically broke everything. 4. Then you can get as low tech as a hopper with a chest on it feeding into the system. When you've connected your pylons to your Spatial IO Port, if everything is cabled correctly, after a short calculation period you should see an efficiency number. I connected the Red network and the Purple networks together like this: Cable (Red Network) > Storage Bus > Interface > Cable (Purple Network) and if I had one of the import buses on one of the machines import an item, it would be able to access the drive in the Red network and vice versa. Welcome to the Applied Energistics Mod! This mod is all about digital storage and is much more complicated to it's counter part Refined Storage. Most modpacks with AE2 also have Integrated Dynamics with the Tunnels addon. Basically, a single face of a controller can connect to a P2P input bus using a single channel. Your "main network" just needs 1 channel for an interface as an input/output for all other networks and another channel for a storage bus attached to a storage network like a SSD, but there are better designs in my opinion. E. To keep it really simple: P2P ist just a different way of wiring your network. ago. Applied Energist. AE2 doesn't have any additional thought - it has artificial restrictions and limitations that actually get in the way of optimizing your network. Think of these as data lines.

Normal AE2 Storage Cells have a 63 item type limit (9x7) which both protect against NBT overflow, and gives each size of cell a chance to be relevant (you use more cells to get more type storage, and cheaper (smaller) cells are more cost effective; but you may need more capacity in which case larger cells would be better). You then have a line through the middle to get the center spike, you can have two spikes just off to the sides and then a little bit up the top for the last two. Disabling Channels will break the Crafttweaker Scripts (Custom Recipes), since there's one for the Controller, this will utterly break every recipe in the pack due to the way that AE2 handles disabled items, and the way that Crafttweaker works, if you want to turn off Channels, you WILL have to go into the files. The ME Export Bus will try to export any of the items. so you can go Energy Acceptor (1 channel) -> Main network cable->quartz cable->transport cable. Channel Modes.
