Rynoto posted:AE2 pro-tip: Go into the config file and turn off cable limits. Never deal with that annoyance again. Alternatively work with it over a couple of modpack iterations to get a sense of how it all works and then build compact and aesthetically pleasing. You don't start by banging out a perfect system the first time through.  Like this is like 7th or 8th time using AE2 systems that are using multiple sides of a controller. The paired interface/assembler things I cooked up from playing Blightfall a couple years ago. The crafting units (2x3x1 with four on each side) are a smaller reproduction from Project Ozone 2 about a year back. Then I threw in that many disk drives because I needed something to fill space.  You can't see the cables in the first shot because I hid them with covers. That tiny bit of neon you see in the middle is the ME controller. A single block is controlling everything you see in the first shot, a second floor of like four screens to interact with what's inside, and a decent amount of automation in the basement. Oh and one channel is connected to a subnetwork for what I really wanted to try this time around.  This is a massive (incomplete) storage facility using Deep Storage Units that will happily accept 2 billion of a single type of item each. A fully loaded subnetwork that's using another single block ME controller can handle ~190 DSUs. And that's before moving to another block type that combines 9 DSUs into a single block. This is why my disk drives are so empty. Sometimes it's fun working within limitations. To each their own, though, I can understand not wanting to deal with the frustration.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:IIRC, ME drives aren't special like that. You can form an ad-hoc network out of any two channel-using devices. P2P tunnels often travel over an ad-hoc network, for example. Which culminates in using a subnetwork to transfer all channels via P2P tunnels from a giant ME controller to control a giant AE2 system or pushing a dumb amount of channels through quantum entanglement to a chunk far away. You rarely need to do something like this, however, I only started when I hit post-scarcity and was doing Avaritia silliness. Ariong posted:So, you’re saying that if your system goes No. If a cable runs out of channels then you'll find your devices have gone off-line, not split into two separate networks.

Do you have access to liquid fuels so you can use compression dynamo? You mention resin, you can fractionate that into tree oil and burn it. If you have coal access or crude oil, both can be eventually transformed into refined fuel which has relatively high RF values (without fiddling with the config, tree oil is 400 000 RF per bucket whereas refined fuel is 1 500 000 RF). I've also done dumb things with food generators, if that's an option.

Have they fixed the generation loops ProjectE often has because if they say they did I don't believe 'em. Ask me about the time I made resources appear because of combining the red matter tools. And it still not being enough for the Avaritia configuration in the modpack!

All I remember is that my PO2 game was my first real introduction to Pneumaticraft and it was a pain to figure out how to crank up the heat appreciably for the refinery using Vortex Tubes. Documentation doesn't tell you exposure of any surface of the system bleeds out the heat so you have to hide it under blocks as 'insulation'. My thinking at the time while trying to figure that out was if one wasn't enough, expand the system..which made the system worse. It wasn't very intuitive and kind of soured my opinion of the mod.

What's the mod that highlights blocks when you shift-right click them, usually with an empty hand? It's incredibly annoying and appears to override other shift-right click things like removing rock crystals from Astral Sorcery's grindstone. Persists through dimensions too.

Vib Rib posted:Just cheat whatever item from Abyssalcraft you need. You won't be missing out on anything. Truth. The different dimensions it poses does have a bit more variety in them than Galacticraft and Extended Galacticraft's planets but they are still "grind mobs for materials using a special stick, upgrade stick and book, fight boss, build key, access next dimension, repeat." I haven't found anything in particular I'd use from that mod outside of it yet.

Fairly certain you could replicate the steam capacity with a single Barrel (from Barrel, Crates and <something>). They've got relatively cheap upgrade paths.

After getting into the Parabox thing with Sky Factory 4, I have to say it is the dumbest implementation of an idea ever. The power you've already dropped into the box doesn't disappear when you deactivate it or fail a target, you just lose the accumulated prestige points. So all you have to do is prep it to just below the first target, flick it on with a trickle of power to bump it over, collect the items you want to dupe into your inventory, and wait 10 minutes to close the loop. Once closed, the world is reset so the parabox is already prepped for another round of duping. The mod that's intended to bar your way into quality of life mods is the same mod that launches you past that point! I can do this as soon as I a. break into the very early stages of Mekanism (osmium and steel) b. get to the Lost Cities for Tritanium and early stages of Matter Overdrive c. Get ~7 ender pearls

How so? The only one I've noticed is that sometimes I have to restart the instance when I return to the Overworld when using one of the Telecakes. The mobs are stuck in a loop and I can't do anything with the blocks. I've only generated a flat grasslands world though so I can't remark on the more esoteric starts.

Alternatively, you can use item pipes to suck out inventories and output into an ME interface block, which doesn't have a bandwidth limit like an Import Bus does. It will handle any number of items simultaneously. This is generally how my machine room gets its results back into my network, particularly when playing with channels on.

If you're talking Sky Factory 4 yeah, it's not really a good demonstration of the logistical puzzle you're aiming for + guidance to get there. It feels like it was designed for people to stream and "complete" in a reasonable amount of time. It does have the Industrial Foregoing mod with conveyor belts for item transportation if you want to scope that out a bit. There's also Thermal Foundation's itemducts and servos to extract items from the inventories of other blocks. Another option not in that modpack is Immersive Engineering which has its own version of conveyor belts and more steampunk and industrial revolutiony than the rest.

You get plenty of ideas doing that. One of the iterations of Progress someone made an automated food dispenser for anyone that visited, I can't remember what food it was. Then the next I decided to make my own version with tofu meatlover's pizza in a vaguely pizzeria looking place and a fishing plant on the shore nearby that made sushi (that one was more because I didn't know what else to do with all the fish).
