Ascend. I have an Empowerer from Actually Additions 2, but it seems to be fighting for bandwidth with my Molecular Assemblers. There's a new configuration option in the general section (channels) which controls this option, and a new in-game command for operators to change the mode and the config from inside the game. It offers the same functionality as AE (as far as I'm aware), but doesn't need special machines or items to craft its parts. (3) 5 inscribers. 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. You can use RS fine, you just need to make the fluix crystals and such first. I suggest using a Bulk Storage solution, and then for general storage. 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. If you attach a normal on a dense, you still only have 8 channels. From there I tried straight up disabling AE2 channels. 0. g. I haven't messed with AE2 in a while, so I'm a bit rusty. 94. Turn off channels in config. The complexity of AE2 was prohibitive for many people. ; Item, set using an Hopper. Basically having a controller block anywhere and if you want to get really insane with it you use a second controller just to move the channels around your base. AE2 Device Missing Channel. 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 Controller is a block added by Applied Energistics 2. It is the heart of ME Networks and is used to provide more channels to the network. It's basically like taking a storage cell and limiting it to only hold one or 2 or how ever many, really different items. [deleted] • 4 yr. See them all on the pc. You’d need to store energy in an actual battery that can output power to either your ae2 network or machinery. ftb_helper Direwolf20 • 9 yr. That will give you 8 channels. While I have used RS and I'll use whatever is in the pack. I added an "output" p2p tunnel and linked them using the memory card. The key to large networks in AE2 is using P2P tunnels hooked up to dense cables on controllers. In the setup with seven machines, using the main network would require 18 channels (7 interfaces, 7 import buses) if you were just to use AE2. (4) some EnderIO item conduits. Take your memory card and SHIFT + RIGHTCLICK on the p2p and a message should pop up saying "new configuration created". The subnet on the left is using all 8 channels; 6 for the drives, 1 for the terminal, and 1 for the interface. I've been trying to delve a little deeper into AE2 and how the new version of the mod works. I'd like to see the setup where you have 1024 channels in use in a situation where you couldn't run another cable. Also when i set it to disable that doesn't work either. 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. As I said, take a look into the config, should be self-explanatory how meteor gen works. A p2p tunnel basically condenses 8 channels into a subnetwork and sends those to the ME controller over one channel. P2P Tunnel. You will also need a couple of. Though you shouldn’t need too many duplicate machines. It’s literally one output for a channel. With over 800 million mods downloaded every month and over 11 million active monthly users, we are a growing community of avid gamers, always on the hunt for the next thing in user-generated content. Contents. Rest of the video is a more in-depth demonstration of how they work, and how to design with them in mind. If you have smart, covered, or normal ME cables attached to dense cables, the dense cables still can carry the same 32 channels but the other cables can only continue up to 8 of those channels of the 32 in that line. ago. 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. The 5 sides can carry 160 channels, and since 135 are for. You would only have to put down a p2p tunnel at the other end to get back those 32 channels. Add a hopper to the side of the new inscriber and looking at the back f the old inscribers, place the fifth inscriber. Then again, while is harder AE2 is not without it's perks. Even if you have enough overall power to cover everything, you might not have enough tick-to-tick surge. Closed. Most machines will turn off once the tank is full. Exterior: 578 Tunnels giving 18496 channels. Channels. P2P Tunnel or "Point to Point Tunnels" are a versatile configurable system to move items / redstone / power / and fluids from one location to another though an existing ME Network without storage. Channels. This means you can output to as many points as you want, but only input at a single point per tunnel. it might be just the distance so it doesnt get the channel from another device. Normal cables can carry up to 8 channels, so if you're setting up a small system, that's fine. The Interface is on the side closer to storage. So, it would go 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 unique items per cell. P2P points act as a 32 channel input to a single carrier channel. This means you can output to as many points as you want, but only input at a single point per tunnel. 188 ME Controller blocks. This is no longer a problem. Your main network + P2P network both require power. It's effectively Dense Cable at the 1/4th cost of normal cable, but with more expensive endpoints. Not quite. 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. 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 . All the stuff along the outside could be improved and you could easily add a couple of hundred by not having everything feed back into the controller as I did. Take four covered cables, combine with redstone and glowstone, and you get a. This can be done via the ME Interface Terminal, or you can just place it there by hand. When I go to add another export /import bus, they show as "Device missing channel" and sometimes still function, but oftentimes not until I reset the network, then they're fine as well. The possibilities of. Since all the tunnels connect directly to the controller and are equal to a length 1 hop, the channels will never route sideways through the machines. . #1. 19. The first step to getting started in AE2 is to acquire Quartz. I'm kinda surprised that most packs don't call that feature out. Device missing channel #3142. E2E will also support Refined Storage automagically, if you wanted to add that to the pack manually and just avoid AE2. This means (mathematically) a total of 512 channels can be run across one dense cable. total size 29x29x9. While leaving channels off let's you focus on whatever you're automating, you miss out on having to.

Again, turn it 90 °. . I imagine otherwise it could become clunky for large Molecular Assembler / Pattern Provider arrays to have to deal with yet more stored patterns. ago. The simplest P2P setup would be a single P2P Tunnel pair. 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. The new micro-parts allow for incredible compact builds. e. Also, get yourself an Interface Terminal. Think of these as data lines. Create, Applied Energestics 2, and ComputerCraft working together in a single room. With channels enabled, people use (often a lot of) ME Controllers, which come with a small power buffer.
