How to set up a me system. Applied Energistics - advanced storage and crafting systems

I present to you the second part of the guide toApplied Energistics 2. In the last article we learned how to grow crystals and speed up this process. Let's look at a way to create processors and build a simple ME network for storing items.

Processors are an integral part of the mod and are required for most recipes. There are three types:

Engineering - to create complex components and elements
Computing - maps for tires, a simpler component
Logical - simple components and elements

Each is created from a matching imprinted outline, red dust, and imprinted silicon.

Printed engineering outline - engineering press and diamond
Computing circuit - computing press and pure crystal true quartz
Logic circuit - logic press and gold bar
Printed silicon - silicon press and silicon (result of remelting quartz dust, ordinary does not fit)

Accordingly, there are 4 presses, each used to create a specific contour. Also, there is a naming press, we will talk about it in the following guides.

You can find them in a meteorite; in its very center there is a chest in which you can find from 1 to 3 presses; or can be bought at spawn "e / from players.

Meteorite is a structure that spawns when the world is generated, usually on the surface along with a funnel, although it can also be found underground. To facilitate the search, a meteoric compass is used, the arrow points to the nearest meteor. Consists of a Heavenly Stone, can be smelted into a Heavenly Stone Block, which is needed to craft a ME controller.

To create processors you need a die cutter, crafting is quite simple: 5 iron, 2 sticky piston, 1 (pure /) volatile crystal:

The die cutter must be supplied with energy, from any side, except for the recess - this is the side to be extracted in the case of automation. All recipes can be found in NEI, they differ slightly, you just need to change the press and raw materials.

Automating a die cutter is simple, and there are quite a few ways. I will give only two, the first is a budget option, the second is if you already have an ME network (taken).

It remains to build the simplest network. For this we need an energy source, a controller, a storage device, a terminal and a storage cell.

We install the elements close to each other, supply energy to the controller, and the storage can be used.

There are cards for 1k, 4k, 16k and 64k, each resource takes up a certain amount of memory on the card, while one card cannot store more than 63 types of items. Use cards with the capacity that best suits you based on the amount of your resources.

That's all, in the next guide we will consider a way to automate mechanisms: processing resources on order and processing raw materials without user intervention.

ME Controller(eng. ME Controller) is the "brain" of the ME network. Monitors all devices connected to it and supplies them with power. Nothing will work without it. If 2 controllers are connected to the same network at the same time, then a conflict will occur, and the network will stop working. Can run on energy from mods Industrial craft 2, BuildCraft and Universal Electricity. The controller itself consumes 6 EU / t, each chest connected to it via the ME network and a hard disk 1 more EU / t.

Interface

By opening the graphical interface of the device, you can see the indicator of the power consumption of the network and the list of connected devices.

1 - When pressed, you can change the display of the consumed energy from different mods.
2 - Displays the current energy consumption, taking into account all connected devices on the network.
3 - Slot for installing the Wireless Receiver to bind it to this system.

Energy consumption

Applied Energistics can use energy from the following mods:
Industrial craft 2- 2 Ee for one eE
Buildcraft- 5 Ee for one MJ
Universal electrcity- 1 Ee for 20 joules

Most of the blocks of this mod are constantly consuming energy. Also, the energy is consumed by the operations performed by the system.

Constant energy consumption by blocks

Block	System energy consumption
ME Controller	6 Ee / tick
ME Chest / ME Disk drive	1 EU / tick + each hard drive
Communication bus	1 Ee / tick
Terminals / I / O Port	1 Ee / tick
Import / Export buses (one at a time)	1 Ee / tick
Import / export buses (in "stacked" mode)	2 Ee / tick
Template Provider / Crafting Processor	1 Ee / tick
Quantum bridge	200 Ue / tick
All kinds of cables (including working dark cable)	1/16 Ee / tick
Assembly chamber housing / Heat dissipation element	do not use energy

You've reached the pinnacle of technological power with Industrial Craft 2, Build Craft, and RedPower, but still have to use awkward storage and crafting systems with huge and complex pipelines? With the Applied Energistics mod, you will get rid of the boring routine of crafting, digging in chests, manually transferring recycled ores and more.

Applied Energistics is a mod for Minecraft that adds new basic tools, electrical tools and an advanced storage system called ME Network, which allows you to compactly store great amount items.

ME Network capabilities provide:

simple but reliable automation tools compatible with objects from other mods;
includes a system that allows you to create and use automatic crafting systems;
ways to connect storages from other mods and vanilla games;
allows you to display stored items and manage them through a redstone;
alternative ways of setting up redstone signals;
provides wireless access to your Network;
and much more.

Ores and simple tools

The mod adds quartz ore to the generation of the world, when mined, quartz crystal and dust can fall out. Quartz ore can be found at 64-18 blocks in the normal world with 1-4 ore blocks per vein. Quartz is used to craft cars and wires from the mod. Crystals can also be used to craft a set of tools.

All tools are similar to hardware and provide a good alternative when you are low on hardware. The key is used to rotate and adjust the machines. You can use a key from BuildCraft if available.

Quartz whetstone is used at the initial stages of the game, it allows you to get quartz powder from crystals, as well as iron and gold powder from ores and flour from wheat. When used, it doubles the mined ore, flour can be fried in the oven and make bread from two units of wheat, instead of three.

Electric tools

The mod adds two tools that allow you to influence the blocks. The vibration catalyst remelts any block without mining it, if the result of the remelting is an object, then the block will drop. The entropy accelerator works exactly the opposite, freezing water and turning rock and lava into cobblestone and obsidian.

Details for crafting

Quartz fiber is the basis of ME Cable crafting.

ME Processors are required to craft almost all vehicles in Applied Energistics. With the BuildCraft mod, Redstone and diamond chips, created using the assembly table from BuildCraft, will be used instead of the processors.

ME Memory cells are used to craft ME Memory Cards, which will contain information about stored items.

The ME Transformation Matrix is used to craft items that convert matter into energy and vice versa.

The wireless transmitter is used in the craft of wireless terminals and hotspots.

ME Wireless Amplifier is used to increase the range of ME Wireless Access Points

Cables and buses

ME Cables are a reliable transport system of ME Network, they can be connected to any devices and buses located nearby. Can be painted and connected only with unpainted cable. Colored cables connected to the device paint the display in their own color.

ME The dark cable works as a switch and is useful for disconnecting unnecessary sections of the network.

ME Emitter gives a signal depending on the amount of the specified object in the ME Network.

The ME Import Bus removes items from the connected inventory and imports them into the ME Network. Items and their quantity can be configured in the device interface. Can import items either one at a time or in stacks.

ME Export Bus exports items from ME Net to connected inventory. To work, you need to specify which items should be exported.

ME Storage Bus allows you to adapt any container from a vanilla game or mods to interact with the ME Network. Has an interface with which you can customize the allowed items for storage in the container.

Elements of ME Network

The center of your network, ME The controller is the power supply unit of the network and ensures the operation of all elements. It is recommended not to install two controllers for the same network. It needs 6 units of energy / tick to work, can be powered by IndustrialCraft2 (2 units of energy for one EU) or from BuildCraft (5 units of energy for one MJ). In its interface, it displays the energy consumption of each element of the ME Network and the total energy consumption in energy units.

ME Access Terminal gives you access to all items and crafting recipes on the web. You can change the sorting mode: alphabetically, by number of items, priority.

ME Crafting Terminal gives you access to the ME Net and allows you to craft using items from the net.

ME Memory cards store information about objects that can be placed and removed from the card using ME Chest, ME Drive and ME IO Port. There are four types of cards, 1MB, 4MB, 16MB and 64MB. The capacity of the cards is quite large, for example, 520192 pcs can be placed on a 64 MB card. any item of the same kind. A large number of types of items take up more space on the map, so it is more profitable to set the types of stored items using the ME Preformer.

ME Preformer allows you to name memory cards and determine what items will be stored on it. It is not part of the ME Network and does not need access to it.

ME Chest is the simplest way to use ME Memory Cards, it will give you direct access to the contents of the card. When you place a card in the chest, it will change the color of the indicator. Red - there is no place for anything, green - there is a place for objects and their types, orange - there is no place for types, but there is a place for objects, if there is no energy, then the indicator is off.

ME Drive is designed for storing memory cards and holds ten cards of any size. Access to maps in ME Drive can be provided only by ME Access Terminal and ME Crafting Terminal.

ME IO Port allows you to quickly move items from the ME memory card to the network and back. Has an interface for configuring the data movement mode.

ME The storage monitor shows the amount of a certain item in the ME Network. RMB with any object on the monitor will set the type of the displayed object. Shift + RMB using a key will lock the monitor and prevent it from being updated. Shift + RMB with the ME Transform Matrix will install it in the monitor and allow you to take out the stack of the displayed item by pressing RMB.

ME Interface allows you to interact with pipes and machines from other mods. You can configure the export and import of certain items from the ME Network to the interface and vice versa for use by machines from other mods.

ME Wireless Access Point allows you to use ME Wireless Access Terminal to connect to your network. Has a standard radius of 16 blocks, which can be expanded using ME Wireless Amplifiers, which will increase the radius by another 16 blocks in total.

ME Wireless Access Terminal is similar to a fixed terminal. To use it, you must put it in the ME Controller to define the network. Only one network can be recognized by the terminal; to work with another network, the wireless terminal needs to be reprogrammed in the controller.

Crafting system

ME An empty template to which you can write any crafting recipe.

The ME Template Editor is used to write a recipe to an empty template, which can then be placed in the ME Molecular Synthesis Chamber or ME Interface for autocrafting an item upon request. You can overwrite templates. The template editor is not part of the ME Network and does not need to be connected to it.

The ME Crafting Monitor allows you to view the current crafting tasks, their status, and gives you the ability to disable running tasks.

The ME Molecular Synthesis Chamber serves as a crafting center and contains recipe templates. To work, you need to connect to the ME Network.

Consists of four types of blocks:

The corners are constructed from the ME Walls of the chamber.

All walls of the chamber consist of the ME Heat sink.

ME Templates storage is used to place templates. One storage block holds one page with templates (how many?) And is located inside the camera.

The ME Crafting Processor speeds up the crafting process by adding one additional operation every three ticks.

As a result, you can get a camera of any size, from 3x3 blocks, to infinity. But do not forget that the larger the camera, the more power it will consume.
