So in my picture you can kinda see a fluix cable running along the bottom of the controllers - this is attached to the controllers with quartz fiber (which allow AE2 power. Doesnt matter which terminal, even the Fluid Terminal of Extra Cells 2 does count. Of course, it is limited by the number of channels a cable attached to it can carry. Every part in AE2 has an internal energy buffer, but it's small. 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.

Channels. AE2 looks better overall and you get more. Not quite. 1. I've added The One Probe to see if it was a HWYLA issue, but that isn't showing me channels either (though it does let me see the energy in my EnderIO capacitor banks). The point of P2P isn't to get more channels, simply to get more channels through a smaller cable. Connecting multiple line from the controller to IO Port does not allow it to use more than 8 channels. Store high quantity. maybe check the cable to the controller. The 6th Terminal doesnt get powered (or it steals the power from a Terminal further away which then goes offline). Since Minecraft 1. The most common usage is to run Dense Cable over long distances without needing to use a ton of Dense Cable. The next step is to get some auto-crafting up and running, but I'm having trouble connecting even a few machines. More Topics. 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. As I recall, you can't put P2P (or any other) nodes directly on dense cable. Also cable anchors disable a connection. Nightcaste • 4 yr.

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. You can also jump into P2P tunnels if you need to multiply the number of channels you want to send across the quantum bridges. So within rule 2, there are 6 corner blocks (max 3 connections), 60. The second most commonly used type would be the FE P2P Tunnel, which transfers Forge Energy (the most common energy system; same as RF, µI, CF, IF, and possibly others). Applied Energistics 2 tutorial. " Such networks are limited to only 8 Channels. You can use storage busses. 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. you are also advised to use storage drawers with ae2. 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. Interfaces consume 1 channel, while Assemblers just need power. Change the "channels" from "default" to "infinite" (or "x2", "x3" or "x4") - "infinite" will disable channels completely.
