If a network is powered, it is powered on both sides of a tunnel. you might be missing one channel there and the nearest things get one first. AE2 hands out challenges constantly, from the ever present channel system to figuring out how to automate the in-world (water) crafting using the tools provided. No, it disables all cables except the default ones. Put an ME Interface against that Storage Bus and connect it with the rest of your storage network. manually mine. Even without the perfect ME controller layout, it's pretty easy to get lots of channels. That way you could run 8 dense cables (256 channels) on a single regular ME cable. To Reproduce. to be more precise, dense cable offer 32 and normal 8. A quick and simple video showing you how to get limitless channels in AE2. 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. If i connected 1 cable to one controller would that support 32 channels or does a cable need to be connected to each individual controller each representing a different channel. I'm using the ME Dense Cable. It shows that it supports 32 channels. Then again, the issue might just be something like not understanding the Channel system. Having to wait for one request to finish before you start another can get annoying real fast, especially if any of the steps are using furnaces or other machines. 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. You can attach 4 normal in a dense which means 4x8=32 channelsType. 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. Environment. 9. I don't think there's a way in the current version, though I haven't personally tried. . malicious_bloke. Just my two cents, but should the larger pattern providers with more rows be an option in future I suggest there be the catch that they only support processing patterns when going beyond 9 slots. Though you shouldn’t need too many duplicate machines. You can't do much in AE without them. 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. For a start, a simple 1k Crafting Storage should be enough. See full list on ftb. There's 32 channel cables the bigger ones if you are interested. The interfaces also transfer channels and the algorithm that determines what channel gets used for what is kinda terrible. In Minecraft version 1. 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 the controllers. place the energy accepter connected to an external power source. There are 2 different overarching types of cables, “ME Cables” and “ME Dense Cables”. Each p2p uses a channel. Take four covered cables, combine with redstone and glowstone, and you get a. the energy acceptor is now passing power to the main network, which is passing it to. There have been massive overhauls and changes to Applied Energistics when it updated for 1. AE2 itself adds Certus Quartz Crystal, and makes use of vanilla's Nether Quartz as well. Thanks for the diagram. (The more you have of them, the more of a mess it becomes keeping track of what connects to what. You set P2P tunnels by crafting the default ME Tunnels, and then right clicking them with an appropriate item. Hey Sky Factory 4 players, So you decided to play on our Sky Factory 4 server? That's Awesome! this post is to give you a quick start on the basic commands to get you started! A few things before you start: The server IP is: sf4. AE2 channels appear to be affected by distance. Its a little more of a challenge to setup. Craft a Blank Pattern and encode it with the desired recipe in a ME Pattern Terminal. Then I start to automate ore processing and item creation. The CPU must contain at least 1 storage component. [deleted] • 4 yr. The point of P2P isn't to get more channels, simply to get more channels through a smaller 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. I have an Empowerer from Actually Additions 2, but it seems to be fighting for bandwidth with my Molecular Assemblers. as long as it isn't full of exported materials it will add any added items into. ago. First and foremost is storage. Use cable anchors to prevent adjacent ae2 cables from connecting to each other. See them all on the pc. But you can't attach any devices onto Dense Cable, so you must have smaller cables branch out from the Dense Cable, while the. 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. With channels/controllers disabled you no longer have to worry about how many connections are on a line. If you use smart cables you'll see how many channels are in use. AE2 is more complicated, even if you ignore Channels, but far smoother, is constantly developing, and some people just want to work with the complexity. Start with this. 2 and the version i'm on rv4-alpha-11 seems to get a problem with the channels on dense cables not registering, on most of the cables i can only see up to about 14 channels at most and once i go over that they will not show at all in the console or in the cable info. Applied Energistics 2's ME Networks require Channels to support devices which use networked storage, or other network services. The p2p connectors can have a dense cable on one side, but not on both which is unfortunate. Today is going. 180. More Topics. TY. This specific feature (CTRL+click to autocraft what's missing) has been in RS for a few years. It's not 32 * 32 because each P2P tunnel. There are a lot of ways to solve the problem in your setup: Simply wire a dense cable above/below your machines until you reach the middle row. ago. it might be just the distance so it doesnt get the channel from another device. Amount of extensions is only limited by how many P2P tunnels there are connected to the ME controller multiblock structure. Its based on the distance between 2 meteors. While leaving channels off let's you focus on whatever you're automating, you miss out on having to. A p2p tunnel basically condenses 8 channels into a subnetwork and sends those to the ME controller over one channel. The quantum network bridges are connected via dense cable directly to my me controllers in the overworld so they're not hooked up. If it is already possible with vanilla and AE2 itself, the suggestion will be considered invalid. On Fri, May 1, 2015 at 12:37 PM, thatsIch [email protected] is definitely more powerful than Refined Storage except for fluid handling. Mihoshika • ATM8 • 8 mo. 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. Interior: 135 Tunnels giving 4320 channels, 5 sides on the outside are required to extract these tunnels. I haven't messed with AE2 in a while, so I'm a bit rusty. And you should seriously look up some AE guides if you don't know about priority settings or use of storage bus. My controller outputs 32 channels from one side directly into a p2p bus. • 4 yr. That showed 1 channel in use. The Interface is on the side closer to storage. g. Tempzman2 • 4 yr. All the autocrafting bits and bobs are still there and operational. Apr 7, 2015. Compact Machines and AE2 Help. You can craft in 4 ways: normal click: like in the normal crafting table, you get one ‘unit’ to your cursor. Exterior: 578 Tunnels giving 18496 channels. Just use p2p, have 2 p2p links, (they're cheap!) and have the left side take 17/32 and the right side 13/32 channels. This means you can output to as many points as you want, but only input at a single point per tunnel. ago. 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. Now that they are all loaded. Otherwise, if no channel is left, it stays pink and you see "Device Offline". Each building or area gets its own P2P tunnel. AE2 seems to have way more addons to allow stuff like Botania Mana transfer and other mod compatibilities. This configuration seems to allow me to have as much as 9408 channels and i know that i don't really need this many, but it's fun to reach the limits sometimes. You could use smart cables instead of the regulars if you wanna see your channel usage. 18 & 1. 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). On any volume you wish to capture that is more than a few blocks large, you really are going to want efficiency to be 100%. 17. So you have to remove 3 of the drive arrays to properly max out the main network. [back of p2p] > cable > [back of p2p] won't work unless you connect the cable. 94. (A Reference Guide for the Rest Of Us) . So, I can have 7 drives and an interface connected to a storage bus, then those 7 drives only use 1 channel on my main network, like in the picture. Connecting multiple line from the controller to IO Port does not allow it to use more than 8 channels. Jul 29, 2019. ago. 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. I have a single Interface with patterns like (Gold, Silicon, Redstone)->(Proccessor) The gold/silicon goes off to their respective inscribers, while the redstone goes off to the final "assembly" inscriber. Each p2p uses a channel. With auto crafting accessible via a p2p connected to the yellow network. I added an "output" p2p tunnel and linked them using the memory card. nlogozzo opened this issue Oct 8, 2017 · 1 comment. #4. Channels are not as complex as you make it sound like. I haven't figured out how to get more short of making a second quantum bridge. I have cleared space around the entire assembler tower to make sure there are no other connections interfering with the channel. For the most part, consider it less an update and more a whole new. I've got a couple floors of crafting CPU's and molecular assemblers that I'm trying to hook up, but I can't seem to run more than 4 p2p tunnels over a cable, with 8 p2p tunnel devices. X = Assembler O = Interface. The main thing to rember, P2P is single input, multiple output. Because if it was on a server, having someone make an extremely large network and destroying and replacing a block would cause insane lag for the server. You need to path the dense close to your target and then branch off a normal cable. The ME Controller is the routing hub of a ME Network. Get a crafting terminal (this is a world changer here). Since they are pretty much superfluous. Obviously, if a device used more than one channel I connected it via P2P, but for e. I can access all the main storage from the subnet, the main network can access everything inside. r/feedthebeast. When the Player is holding this tool and they look onto network, all nodes get a colored overlay with channel count similar to that on the picture below. I would just like to play for a while with channels disabled and see how well it plays. fscan marked this as a duplicate of #3134 Oct 8, 2017. Just disable the channels. RefinedStorage users I guess you fall into the channels off category. It is the new and overhauled version of the original Applied Energistics mod. The best way to increase the systems power buffer is with AE2's (Dense) Energy Cells. Yup, that's a common assumption people make. 7, just about everything you used to know about it is now different, and there's new mechanics that need addressing. But it does make life easier for organizational purposes. 2 In Conclusion . Exterior: 578 Tunnels giving 18496 channels. ME cables are the backbone of any network, connecting all devices on your network. . Okay here we go again, I hope this explains it a little bit better. temporary_login • 2 yr. AE2 autcrafting is a life saver!! I recently migrated my small controller to my twin 7x7 skeleton controllers (the second controller is for managing the p2p channels) and hooked up 80 more interfaces with 40 molecular assemblers to my pre existing 60 with 30, literal walls of crafters. All you need to do is stick the metal piece in a potted plant to ground it into the soil. 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. AE2 doesn't have any additional thought - it has artificial restrictions and limitations that actually get in the way of optimizing your network. • 15 days ago. I. Amount of extensions is only limited by how many P2P tunnels there are connected to the ME controller multiblock structure. So I was setting up automation for AE2 components when i came across a problem with the channels, on the import buses one always says "Device missing channel" and I have switched cables to dense cables behind and I cannot seem to fix it when i remove an interface behind one of the inscribers the. ago. Use quartz fiber to connect power only to separate AE2 network. Placing them directly against a controller will provide 32 channels but will not provide a way to see how many are in use. AE2 is more complicated, but more versatile, and less laggy. An ad-hoc network only has 8 channels available before the whole thing shuts off. With subnetworks you can automate nearly anything that can be automated. depends on your channel usuage. The item type cap is 61 *per drive*, so once you get 3-4 drives you're pretty much set. Now you need to get named item 1 into the second inscriber which contains a different name plate press that’ll turn it into named item 2. Also, you can put p2p tunnels directly on a. Even though it might look complicated at first it really isn't, like at all, and is such a cool mechanic to play. 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. Applied Energistics 2 - Way to increase number of items in interface's config slots. I don't remember if it's in E2:E but AE2stuff comes with some wireless connectors that do what you are looking for. Even if you have enough overall power to cover everything, you might not have enough tick-to-tick surge. There are 2. The CPU must be a cuboid, completely composed of the parts listed above; air or other blocks are not valid. As a quick fyi, I never use any dense cables in my base. In short, RS is a direct Storage and Logistics mod while AE2 is a Networking mod with the primary focus being Storage and Logistics. From there, you can have any number of exit points. Edit: I should add, I understand the fun of using subnetworks for organizational purposes. Watch on. Furious1964. So with AE2 how does the channel thing work. 7. This means you can output to as many points as you want, but only input at a single point per tunnel. You can always use the storage bus -> interface technique to connect additional storage networks. Controllers can have maximum of 2 adjacent blocks in at most 1 axis (the cannot have a plus sign rule). A "Sub-Network" is a separate ME Network that augments another network. The only way to transfer power through an ME. You can use storage busses. Exactly. The next lesson we need to learn about is efficiency. Lazzed • 3 yr. It is possible to transport energy, fluids, vis, redstone signals, light, and even space. P2P points act as a 32 channel input to a single carrier channel. It does not connect to other cables or bus through the redstone output side. I was going to do a poll, but this subreddit doesn't allow them. Mar 8, 2015. Tunnels are 1 input to N outputs. 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. ; Fluid, set using a Water Bucket or any fluid bucket. So, there are two types of autocrafting: Craft-on-demand, and always-craft. P2P Tunnel. While leaving channels off let's you focus on whatever you're automating, you miss out on having to plan out your network and utilize P2P and the various cables provided in the mod. 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 total: 22816 channels through P2P tunnels, but there are a few more that I forgot when I recorded the video. A dense cable with 32 channels going into a P2P only takes one channel to transmit to the other end. Asking for a smaller version, more compact version, or more efficient version of something will also be considered invalid. Watch us on Twitch: for a practical guide on AE2 P2P tunnels and networks? Look no further! ** Need a server? Get 20% off Fo. • 11 days ago. Most, but not all, AE2 devices require a channel before it will turn on. 1 Prerequisite 2 Materials you will need 3 Getting a charge out of quartz 4 Stamping out Circuits 5 Steve's First ME Network 6 Channel Surfing 7 It's Auto-crafting, Jim, but not. 1. But you could use some more elaboration on how networks are setup for practical applications or what defines a working network from a non-working one. 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. But yeah, it might be just a matter of habit. My solution was adding a chest to the subnetwork and attaching the interface to that, and an import bus set to only accept the finished products to pull out of the chest back into main network. . Each face can provide up to 32 channels when connected with an ME Dense Covered Cable. 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,. Looks to me like you may be using more than eight channels. Applied Energist. This type of network is known as an "ad-hoc" network. BTW: I prefer AE2 for all of this. Making other mechanics more relevant again. Each solid block is capable of passing up to 8 channels through it. 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. You get 32 channels per quantum bridge, if I remember correctly. Replace the left P2P bus (on your controller network) with a Storage Bus. In between the input and output tunnels, you can use standard glass cables, as the tunnels themselves only use one channel. Otherwise, if no channel is left, it stays pink and you see "Device Offline". As already mentioned above, most AE2 devices need a channel to work. 0. Most devices such as standard cables, and machines can only support up to 8 channels. It's effectively Dense Cable at the 1/4th cost of normal cable, but with more expensive endpoints. Something to keep in mind is that, with the Type limit, you are encouraged to build more, smaller Storage Cells. By the end of E2:E I had 5 full channels full. To keep it really simple: P2P ist just a different way of wiring your network. Without autocrafting there is absolutly no need for a controller. (The more you have of them, the more of a mess it becomes keeping track of what connects to what. If you have a large network, you may need more energy acceptors down the line to keep everything balanced. 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. Very basic setup, but it should give you the idea. Hey everyone, I'd be really fascinated to see what people have built for their AE2 setups, especially epic auto crafting. 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. Most devices such as standard cables, and machines can only support up to 8 channels. 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. Not sure where you got that info from. I usually just stick something like hoppers/item buffers/chest on one side of the machine, and then attach more to those. I'm aware of that. Without it, only up to 8 devices can interact, any more and everything stops working. I've seen other posts that say you can power via RF machines over your existing AE network using. It's like if Thaumcraft had an option to completely remove research from the game, or Blood Magic an option to make it so you can't actually be killed by any of. 1. NotYourReddit18 • 1 yr. Hold on to your hard hats, there's gonna be one heck of a text wall under construction. Channel Management. Of course, an Ad-Hoc network can support up to 8 channels, so up to 4 P2P. Nightcaste • 4 yr. The drives will act a bit weird until you get all the tunnels configured with your memory card. It’s literally one output for. Then it showed 2 channels. 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. Closed. Contents. com AE2 10. Tunnels are 1 input to N outputs. Join. I haven't messed with AE2 in a while, so I'm a bit rusty. tterrag1098 • EnderIO/Chisel Dev • 9 yr. 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. AE2 seems to have way more addons to allow stuff like Botania Mana transfer and other mod compatibilities. Today is the. *SEE OUR NEW AE2 TUTORIAL SERIES FOR MC V1. Those haven't ported to 1. Not quite. ago. Two biggest differences are the way items are stored, and the fact that AE2 has channels (Not too much of a limit, tbh). If a device successfully connects to a channel, you usually see it changing color to the cable's color, and Waila shows "Device Online". I have to document using signs atm, but is there a tool or something I am missing that I can see how many channels are being unbundled at the parent p2p interface? You could just slap on a dense cable at the working end of the p2p channel. Unlike the ME Chest, the items that are stored inside the storage cells cannot be directly accessed; instead the drive must be connected to a ME Network which allows. It's fine for things to touch. Have the same conduits pull from those inscribers on a different color channel and that channel is the input for the 5th inscriber. 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. You are out of channels. Another important thing to remember is power. Think of them as individual cables within the wires you use. You have a dense cable going to all 32 p2ps on the bank side and to the bridge. It keeps saying missing channel, but it has a full 32 channels going to that side off the compact machine, am I missing something? Picture of setup. TY. Channels in AE2 - need help. ago. More Topics. 1. When I was doing an Omnifactory playthrough, I believe the default was to use AE2 in channel-less mode, to be similar to refined storage. Everything else, including most blocks from AE2, transfer only 8 channels. cfg file in your installation folder and open it with notepad, there should be an option to disable channels entirely. If so infinite channels is probably a much better way to describe it since there are still channel-like limitations to network design. Without autocrafting there is absolutly no need for a controller. I want to say this is correct from my experience. A Quick Guide to AE2. 0. 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. A controller can power 32 devices from one face, but a normal ME cable only has space in it to carry 8. Basically, a single face of a controller can connect to a P2P input bus using a single channel. The Controller has the ability to transmit data throughout the ME Network using 32 channels per side. It can only perform one task at a time, the Co-Processing unit gives it the ability to process one additional unit per unit simultaneously. More Topics. So you typically can dispense with the glass fiber power connections on one of the sides. Or just go into the config and set "channels" under Networkfeatures to false. Here's the first half of my data centre, main storage room 'A'. circuits, patterns, pure quartz, and fluix quartz, since those can be done without AE2 with other methods. Hilbert controller has 510, so you're looking at almost exactly 30% more faces. You need to put a bit of quartz fibre on the controller and then attach the glass fibre to that. My Very First Quartz. Many people weren't able to have fun in the game when trying to fight with AE2 The hunt for all four inscriber plates is not a very fun mechanic. You can get definitely get more than 32 channels as each face of the controller block makes 32 channels available (when using dense ME cable). The only complaint I have are the much too complicated ways to craft things and get materials. Rarely will you need more than 32 channels for a building or room and if you do you can just add another tunnel. 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. Put a chest on the place the new hopper is pointing to. First of all is there a way to have "infinite" channels on a cable. The only catch is that you have to run a separate p2p tunnel to access the auto crafting capabilities. ago. Create a minimum of 12 p2p channel configs. Type []. As I recall, you can't put P2P (or any other) nodes directly on dense cable. Applied Energistics 2 (AE2) is a mod for Minecraft that adds advanced storage and automation systems to the game. AE2 has the channel system. 4k disk = 4k items total. I already have dense cables running through my entire system, so that's not going to be a problem. So, it would go 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 unique items per cell. Coming from AE1 the changes feel pretty severe going from the big fire and forget network to this much more micro managed style. . 188 ME Controller blocks. 1 AE2 Channel Surfing for Newbies (A Reference Guide for the Rest Of Us!) 1. 7. But in Minecraft you need to. 1. just got this glitch myself i run a 3 man server and the first one to connect can see channels fine after there are 2 or more players online it start acting up and eventually only showing the channels to one player. Those generate or use AE power, and can transfer up to 8 channels (excluding the Quartz Fiber), but they don't have a "network" function themselves so don't need a channel. Jul 27, 2016. AE2 disks can only store 63 types of items. Makes ae2 so much more interesting. Add a Comment. So you can put 32 dense cables (all worth 32 channels) on a single face of this "transport network" and then use another face to transport all the channels elsewhere. So instead you should be able to use dense cable for the main cabling, and put a smart (or regular) fluix cable right before each P2P node. Also cable anchors disable a connection. 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. . The other 3 channels were then used to connect to all the machines. thatsIch AE2 Dev • 9 yr. well then I guess you don't want to get your system working. That way you could run 8 dense cables (256 channels) on a single regular ME cable. #2. I recommend always-crafting AE2's basic components, e. The next lesson we need to learn about is efficiency. Dense, P2P and Quantum Ring all support 32 channels. So with just my auto crafters I'm using 240 channels!The P2P Tunnel for ME, for instance, passes through channels. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Add a Comment. That basically broke everything. Make a canola farm, turn the canola into canola oil then use that for power (you can use industrial foregoing to automate the farming part) Make an extreme reactor and use yellorium for power. This mod adds an insane. AE2 channel and p2p question. Applied Energistics 2 tutorial. 2. There's a couple of ways to do this. The standard Sub-Net connection is an ME Storage Bus looking into an ME Interface. That's cool. 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,. them outside the network.
