    Dude, you have like.. a calming, Bob Ross type of voice. I was looking for the happy little trees.
    Like you don't understand. I was watching some thing about Extra Cells 2 for Fluid automation, and it sent me to this next as UA-cam Autoplay will do... And I'm still watching 21 minutes in, even though this has nothing to do with what I need to do in my game :P
    Watching this video has been great.

    Dude you are the one and only youtuber that shows applied energistics 2 in a way that I really could understand it. Also you are one of the few ones who likes to push it to the limits and then show and explain it to other people. Thanks man and keep the channel running. You are great! ;)

    theoretically, the best layout for the ME controller to maximize the number of faces usable would be a 3-D Hilbert curve - each controller block would only touch, at most, 2 others.
    It'd be a pain to hook up, though.

      That's not guaranteed to be the best setup
      If each controller in that setup gives 4 faces, but adding 1 controller there takes away 1 face but adds 3 you would have more.
      The only thing a Hilbert curve achieves is controller efficiency ie most faces per controller. If you're not as controller efficient but have more than enough controllers to balance out the efficiency, the net result is more channels
      (infact there is a reddit post that shows a controller with more channels than a hilbert curve)

    Love that you break down the math of items in a cell! Of course The Wall by Pink Floyd popped in my head... I find it easier to limit random items to smaller cells and larger cells get specific items to maximize storage since one loses so much storage with many items on larger drives (32256 aditional items if I do the math correctly). What would be really ineteresting is to compare the power consumption between subnetworked drives verses networked drives because AE2 is not just about storage but also the energy used to run it. Awesome stuff!

    • @Nonsanity
      @Nonsanity  9 років тому

      alyeakitty I was thinking more along the lines of Game of Thrones, myself. :) And I use a mix of cell sizes and let AE2 defrag items behind the scenes to the right places. I'll be adding power consumption information to the behind the scenes video. :)

  • @sk1ppy506
    @sk1ppy506 9 років тому

    Finally...I understand! After several hours of research and tinkering I have created a system to autocraft quad uranium cells from the ore using AE2. I see how channels can be a pain, but it does make you more aware of cable management and routing. Also if you want to see the machine I can send you the file

  • @mercuriushg1291
    @mercuriushg1291 7 років тому

    I saw this a few days ago and it inspired me to try to improve the 7*7*7 ME Controller design. Currently I have one with a total of 696 faces, the design featured in your video has a total of 510 faces. When you multiply that by 32 channels per face, your design can supply 16,320 channels, and my new one can supply 22,272 channels. With my design it is essential however that it gets power from the inside, which with the modpack I am using is easy because I can use enderIO's Dimensional Transceiver. There are also an additional 15 blocks in the middle that are not ME Controller's, and can be replaced with other blocks. One of them has to be the Dimensional Transceiver, but apart from that you could add another 14 ME Drives if it is storage you need, I also believe that you could add 5 Molecular Assemblers connected to one interface in place of 6 of those ME Drives, and you could also fill the gaps with other components that you might not need access to, such as an ME Security Terminal after you have configured it for everyone on your server, or an ME Wireless Access Point once you have given it as many upgrades as you need to cover your base. I have gone for adding 14 ME Drives to mine just to boost the storage slightly, so in my system I can have a maximum of 222,286 ME Drives, each having 10 64k ME Storage Cell's, which if you fill up with just one item (like in your cobble example) then you could store 115,929,989,120 cobblestone. In the system in your video the maximum amount is 84,895,334,400. I'm probably going to record a video of it in a couple of days to demonstrate it, if you are interested I can show you it in closer detail then.

    • @Nonsanity

    This is very much the video i wanted after your previous tutorial, a clean explanation of how storage works and how bigger isnt always better. And personally speaking, this video could use a little giggle at the end. a Deep storage unit from MFR can hold just over 2 billion. 40 of those could hold the same 80 billion, and be stored inside a DSU. The wall could be compressed down to a single block. Or slapped on a 1k, and store some other junk.

  • @spikeball1171
    @spikeball1171 9 років тому

    You should do a demonstration on what it would take to compress all of that cobblestone into 8x compressed cobblestone in a reasonable amount of time from the extra utilities mod using the auto crafting capabilities from AE2.

    • @Nonsanity
      @Nonsanity  9 років тому

      AE2 would be a poor choice for crafting all that cobble quickly. My AE2 autocrafting tests were actually with compressed cobble and it was very slow, even with 64 crafting units with full upgrades. A single RFTools autocrafter would be many times faster, as would any number of other similar crafting devices from other mods.
      AE2's crafting is best for complicated, multi-step craftings that would be difficult or impossible for other mods to do. It's also best for having many different recipes available at the same time.
      In my FTB Daybreaker Let's Play series, I had to make Mekanism's Ultimate Induction Cells in large quantities without AE2. It took me three designs to get something that worked without problems, and it turned out very complicated indeed. It would have been trivial in comparison if I had AE2 available. :)

    • @spikeball1171

    As of right now, AE2 systems need an energy acceptor. They run on an energy system thats called AE aswell.
    The mod adds a means of generating AE directly, but most energy generators produce RF.

    • @Nonsanity
      @Nonsanity  9 років тому

      +Reaperonatricycle This is correct. The Energy Acceptor block will convert RF (and some other power types) to AE's internal format. The ME Controllers can do the same thing, to some extent. I was powering my setup by sticking a Tesseract to the ME Controller block.
      I've found that converting RF is pretty much a necessity for large AE2 systems, unless you want to run through a LOT of combustibles. :)

    • @WereDictionary
      @WereDictionary 9 років тому

      +Nonsanity Huh, guess I've been had then.
      But on the other hand, my current network has about 300 channels so its not exactly small - and it provides the energy for 5 or 6 subnetworks.
      Still nothing compared to your leviathan of a network in this video, but apparently large enough to warrant an acceptor. I tried the direct conversion and it didnt quite work.
      How did you do this? P2P tunnels on multiple layers?

    i.e., have a JABBA barrel always keep 64 stacks of 64 cobble, but have excess cobble wind up in the DSU, and only refill the barrel when it drops below a certain limit.

    Yes thank you! I have now somewhat an understanding of channels and p2p tunnels. Before I would only make like a 1x3 controllers for my build because I didn't know how to expand and it would hurt my walnut brain. Now it makes sense on how to expand mine. Also why did you put another controller(not connecting to the main one) on top of your example build?

    • @Nonsanity
      @Nonsanity  8 років тому

      That second controller was to give the transport network more than 8 channels. Once you need dense cable to connect all your tunnels (more than eight of them, that is) you need a separate Me Controller to provide the channels. (Or you can mix it back into the main system, but that wasn't the technique I was demonstrating.) :)

      ymer234 The SSD has it's place, still. The storage/interface trick makes adding more storage easier by not having to worry about channels. I'm just saying that if you understand channels, you also don't have to worry about them-you'll have plenty! :)

    • @Toksyuryel
      @Toksyuryel 9 років тому

      Nonsanity
      The storage bus on an interface thing isn't the special thing about the SSD, that's a basic mechanic of AE2 that the mod author himself frequently mentions in his own tutorials and on the AE2 website (it is intended functionality, not a trick). The trick with the SSD that really makes it special beyond its tileable design is the secondary network of storage busses attached to the drives themselves that allows you to insert and remove storage cells with an ME Terminal. Makes getting your storage cells into the drives, and upgrading them later, a breeze.

    • @Nonsanity
      @Nonsanity  9 років тому

      That part I never really saw a need for. It's not that hard to walk over to the drives and stick in another ten or twenty 64k drives by hand if I'm starting to run low. I know the SSD can be set up to craft more drives as they are needed and insert them, but that could get out of hand if, say, a mob farm started dumping tons of non-stacking unique items into the system (after a trash can malfunction, perhaps). I'd rather the system fill and stop than keep crafting drives and filling up with more and more stone swords. I want to be able to control the growth directly and have run-away processes fail gracefully. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool trick and I like it... I just would never want to use it in a production system. ;)

    • @Toksyuryel
      @Toksyuryel 9 років тому

      Nonsanity
      I hadn't even thought about the ability to automatically craft and insert cells as they are needed, that's really cool. I gotta set that up sometime :D but for me using the terminal is just way easier than clicking on a bunch of different drives to find the one I'm looking for. Of course my setup isn't the SSD either, as I don't really see a need for infinitely expandable storage and as you demonstrate here you can get far more than enough storage without it anyway. I'm just taking advantage of the storage bus-on-drive feature to make my life a little easier :)
      I don't really have the resources yet to mass-produce 64k cells so I'm using 16k cells in my setup, having them attached to the ME terminal means when I want to upgrade some of them to 64k I can easily just pull out some 16k cells from the terminal, stick them in an IO port to empty them back into the system, then crack them out of their housings, upgrade them, and put them back in without having to hunt through each drive for them. It also lets me have the access terminal for doing this somewhere other than where the drives are physically located. I enjoy doing "control room" style setups and that's another terminal I have the ability to place in there.

    That is some madness going on with getting the channels to all of those. MADNESS! (or Sparta). Nonsanity, did you see the trick with sub-network storage using a storage bus?

    @sk1ppy506 9 років тому

    I'm still used to AE1 and I find this amazingly complex even though I built fully automated fusion reactor fuel supplies (Gregtech), and Automated coffee shops. Do ME controllers still serve the same purpose of supplying power to the network? Or do they do something entirely different?. BTW AWESOME :)

    • @Nonsanity
      @Nonsanity  9 років тому

      The controllers are very different in AE2 compared to AE1 due to the introduction of channels. That change is what trips up most AE1 players when making the switch. I also have a tutorial on AE2 channels and how to manage them on my UA-cam channel. If you haven't used AE2 yet, I suggest checking that out as well as my AE2 "starting out" video if you want a more complete refresher.
      The short answer is, ME Controllers just let you attach more machines to your network, adding 32 for each face of the ME Controller multiblock you attach a dense cable to. (Or just 8 more per face if you use lesser cables.) For small networks of 8 or less devices (a drive and a crafting terminal only, for example), you don't even need an ME Controller now.
      Hope that helps. :)

    • @Nonsanity
      @Nonsanity  9 років тому

      Oh yes... Power is now supplied to the network through the Energy Acceptor block now, though a few AE2 devices can take raw RF, like the ME Controller, Chargers, and Inscribers. :)

      I did, yes. But the main point of the video was to show just how much a single, max-ed out (or nearly so) controller could handle. As the very end of the video showed, that same amount of cobble would fit in just a handful of Deep Storage Units-they are much better for single-type storage. AE2's drives are better for smaller quantities of distinct items. The combination of the two solves 99.9999% of players' storage needs without resorting to such extremes as "the wall" depicted here. :)

Of course, though I'm filling the system up with cobble here, using drives lets you store anything and everything-and a lot of it-though not as much as you can store of just cobble. If you want to store just one thing, DSUs are the way to go. :)
