Hey guys, so I know in 1.6.4 you could make it so AE systems didn't need power. Is there anything in the AE2 (1.7.10) config that allows this to do the same?
I am running AE in a pack with NO other tech mods in the pack, and don't want any, but I need AE for the storage... So is there a way in the config to disable all needs for power? If so, how?
 
In AE2 you can use vibration chambers to power your AE system. That's probably why the config is gone, if it is.
 
As far as I understand, it's not the only mod. There's also a bunch of magic mods I'm assuming.
 
I may be ignorant but what's the point of having just AE2?
Yes, as Wagon said..

There is:
Blood Magic, Thaumcraft, Thaumic Energistics, Thaumic Tinkerer, Twilight Forest, Botania, and other magic and/or exploration mods.
But AE2 was added because storage is always an issue. And having Thaumic Energistics makes Thaumcraft more "easy" to sort. BUT powering it with coal/charcoal is kinda crappy :/

You could spawn in a creative energy cell from AE2 and throw it on the network.
 
Yeah... but this is going to be a public mod pack... and other people may not want to do that :P
 
I guess it helps to actually use the stuff :P I never have used a lava crystal before, so I guess I forgot what it does :P
 
Nah, I am thinking of using a mod called Technomancy to turn LP (from Blood Magic) to power a Blood Dynamo, which creates RF
"Hey man, can I have a couple quarts of blood?
"Why?"
"I'm low on power and need to get my cobblestone." *stab*
 
Thaumcraft golem tree farm -> charcoal via an inferal furnace -> vibration chambers. Thats how I power my AE2 system in my magic pack.
 
I believe the latest Botania offering also has a mana to RF conversion block. Forgot what it was called, but it's going to be in the book.
:O I did not know this :O
I have never used Botania before, I only added it because I know it is magic, but it is also pretty :3

I can't remember how to power an infernal furnace (I know it's bellows, but I don't remember if they need anything) but that sounds like a good idea :)

Sounds like something a friend would say to me... he did that once when he was trying blood magic.
Him: "Would you come see why this is not working?"
Me: *tps to him*
Him: *sacrifices me for 'the greater good'*
