Dux Supremus posted:I've been finding Nether chests work pretty well if you're not at the stage to string up cable all the way to wherever your dig site is. Ender chests or item tesseracts work just fine as well. Unlike the import busses, the tesseracts will also accept outputs directly from quarries and drills. Just have the tesseract dump into a chest afterwards for the AE bus to pick up the goods. Personally I have an ender chest sitting on top of one of my laser drills and carry an ender pouch in my inventory. That way if I go exploring I can teleport any and all of the goods I want to keep directly to my AE system for safe keeping as the Ender Chest does double duty as drill output and cross-dimensional AE input bin.

ME Interfaces did work, though, and you might try that with the laser drill.

On a multiplayer server some dude I worked with would set up a quarry adjacent to a tesseract, the tesseract would feed into a buildcraft pipeline which separated the main garbage drops (dirt, cobble, sand, gravel) into four Deep Storage Units, all the ores would get dumped into an array of chutes which fed into more chutes which fed into pulverizers which fed into more chutes which fed into powered furnaces, and then all the ores and everything else dug up got piped into a chest with an import bus on it. It worked great, but the more he gathered materials with his eight quarries he moved about deep enough under the earth not to breach the landscape, the rougher the lag got on that server. Gee I wonder why, I bet it was some jerk's space program.

Buildcraft pipes hooked up to a max speed quarry crush servers (quarries already crush pretty drat hard on their own), and if you multiply that by 8 you have a very sad server operator. Tell him to use ME next time.

These quarries were scattered across the map more or less randomly, in part to hide our base and in part because it was super easy to just power suit somewhere random, sink a 8 deep hole, and drop a redstone power cell, a quarry, and an item tesseract in a row.

No? You use the item tesseract to send all your stuff back to the base anyway, just slap an import bus or ME Interface on there and you're golden.

^^^ E: Just use an ME interface; anything dumped into one gets sucked into the network if there's a place to store it. bbcisdabomb posted:DSU with a Storage Bus attached. Don't dispose of a thing in case something needs a billion dirt or something. Uses for like a billion dirt - creating a singularity to stretch out your ME network. You can also recycle it faster by using a storage cell to load a lot into the condenser all at once. Also, depending on how far your quarry is from the ME system, it can be less troublesome to pump the items back with a tesseract than to run ME cable the full distance, especially if said quarry is in another dimension.

Alkydere posted:Once you get a hang of it, AE's nifty and really easy. The biggest real hurdle for it is the amount of quartz it takes (both nether and the mod's own certus variant). Honestly, the amount of quartz you need almost makes you need to have fun with Quarries or building a Mining Laser. But...once you do the functionality AE gives you is pretty easy to understand and useful. gently caress Quartz. This is why I will only use AE with Magic Crops available since Nether Seeds function with fertilizer of any variety and make for a low effort source of quartz.

Playing CantorPack (so essentially BigDig + IC2), what's the best way to get renewal fertilizer? At the moment I'm farming white flowers and using automatic crafting tables to turn them into bone meal, but with the changes to how bone meal works I don't think it's very efficient. I'm not above changing config settings to revert the bone meal nerf

If so, Magical Crops' skeleton soul seeds are one of the more efficient ways of getting it, and you can automate it with MFR's harvester.

Alkydere posted:How would I set it up to only craft X cells when needed with AE? I've figured out the network part but not that. Does that get into the big AE crafter multiblock madness? The AE crafter multiblock thingy is really loving awesome. Hop on that poo poo; I wish I had earlier. Build the smallest size and then use it to craft the blocks needed to expand it. Making 64k discs is trivial (well, apart from the quartz cost) when you automate all of the smaller component cells. It takes less time to create the powersuit recipes than it does to build an upgraded suit even once. Taffer posted:More likely that was his pipes.

Back in the halycon days of 1.4 I remember setting up a sorting system using RP2, Buildcraft, and LP. Keep all that poo poo out in the open so you see all those items being sorted and it was totally badass.

They murder servers. Funny thing is, once you setup a DSU with a Storage Bus and export (using an export bus) your cobblestone to it, you can hook up a storage bus and any new cobble that enters the system will be automatically routed to the DSU. Nifty, right? No need for BC pipes. Ever.

As cool as pipe tangles are, having a server that actually works is more important. Who knows, maybe the 1.7 server optimizations will help.

I think it comes down to if you can get OpenCCSensors to read a ME Access Terminal directly for the types of blocks you want to track. If not, then it's going to be a lot more complex and limited in scope (ie. setting up a bunch of chests/DSUs holding the items instead).

It's how I automate brewing different liquids using a single brewing stand.

I made a thing. This mod simply adds a few ores to the MFR mining laser, namely Yellorite, Uranium, Osmium. Tested on the latest Toast Crunchy pack for 1.5.2 since that's what I mainly play. Made for personal use, but sharing here in case anyone finds it useful. I can probably do additional ores if there's interest or demand for it. Updated link to version 3, see readme.txt for details.

This is possibly inane, but i really wish there was a mod that let me broadcast jukebox/disk music with broadcasting towers (or whatever they are called) via wiring. Setting up a set of towers around my base and wiring it up to a jukebox to play over a wide area while meandering around appeals to me.

So I threw together a new profile for trying out some mods on 1.6.2, and I'm running into problems with NEI. Things just aren't displaying correctly. I'm using Soartex for my resource pack in this image, but it does the same on the default: (I also had to go fix some item id conflicts in Applied Energistics and Magical Crops to even get it to load.)

Particularly about Big Reactors and moving to 1.6.2/4? Short answer is my job had me living in airports for a month, and that put a dent in blocky reactor things. I did get to meet the cool Technic dudes in Seattle for beer, though, and that was awesome. Good news is I'm back and I've been slowly putting together a 1.6.4 build. The big unresolved question was MFR. I tied my big feature for 0.2 into RedNet, and with MFR not-updated, I was going back and rewriting it to work with regular redstone. Which sucks, because most of the work is UI work and Minecraft's UI framework isn't so much "lacking" as "nonexistent". Writing UI for Minecraft is about as much fun as shaving my man-bits with diseased badger teeth. Then Skyboy released MFR for 1.6.4, so the redstone work is shelved and I'm down to fixing basic compatibility bugs and testing now. That's this weekend's job.
