16K drives seem to be the best bet. 64K really only seem to be useful if you plan on having obscene amounts of 1 thing. I find myself running out of types on a drive before I run out of space on it.

You could probably build DSU's for your various stones and use Storage Bus to access them. That would save a tremendous amount of disk space for you

cool thanks just started playing around with AE since I was tired of searching through all my chests for the right stone.

Slapping a Storage Bus on a chest includes that storage in the ME network. It's a quick n dirty method of easily accessing everything without having to hunt through all the chests.

To set up DSU's, it is really easy, all you need is a single export bus (although a fuzzy bus will make it go much faster). Pick a DSU, hook up export bus and tell it to export a type of stone. DSU fills up with that stone. Slap storage bus on DSU. Done. Rinse, wash, repeat with other DSU's. Watch as your disk usage drops 90+%!

If you're still using RR you should have the extra cells mod. You can use an me block container as a cheaper solution than DSU's. And they'll fit in the storage drive.

Although DSU's are better for mega large unit storage (millions +) .

I'm too lazy to properly resize the right pic. When I crack open photoshop tonight I'll try to remember to fix it after I try my hand at an RR design.

ya with the launcher it's easier but when I have to download the mods it seems to want to fight me stupid links.

well I've been a little busy lately and haven't had much time to work on my city. I have joined a server so do you want me to continue this same type of build or go with something else. I will let you guys decide. If you want something else make some suggestions and I will pick the one I would enjoy the most to do. :D

I would go with the former.
