    Applied Energistic Storage Room!

    Unless they have changed it this is a poor option. Export busses will export as much of they can of the 1st item before even trying the 2nd item. That means for any recipe with multiple components (say MMI) it is going to keep stacks of 64 of each item besides the last in the rolling machine...

    I did bee math! (Now with more usability!)

    Well the sheet was created with optimizing production (and lifespan) in mind, not to simply be a one-stop shop for everything bee stats, if you have no frame housings available, by definition you are not optimizing and thus it falls outside the purpose of the sheet. The ideal frame for...

    Applied Energistic Storage Room!

    4 pattern encoders is probably way more than you will need, and 4 cpus will give you very speedy crafting. I personally went with a 5 CPU 3 pattern split and figured I would change to a pattern if I needed (or expand it later, which is easy as long as you leave room, the patterns will stay in as...

    Swarmer

    I have not done any testing on the swarmer directly, but I would start by looking at intervals of 27.5 seconds (or more accuratly 550 ticks) This is how often bees handle all of their lifespan and production stuff, so it would be a good guess that they also do swarmer stuff at the same time...

    I did bee math! (Now with more usability!)

    Fixed, Someone used cut and paste between those cells which made the protected cell automatically adjust. The sheet is now fully locked, people will need to make a copy to use it. My web dev skills are insufficient to make this into a proper web page, and I really do not want to have to fix it...

    I did bee math! (Now with more usability!)

    So I just got back home and found that (again) people felt the need to change the sheet, this time they added unlocked rows at the bottom and entered information that they thought would help down there. Unfortunately the information was false. If you feel that something is not clear, please post...

    I did bee math! (Now with more usability!)

    Thanks. It wasn't a big deal at all, and no one would have even noticed if someone hadn't vandalized the spreadsheet.

    I did bee math! (Now with more usability!)

    This is correct, and I am keeping it that way since that is how the wiki team gave it to me (they did not give one table, but a seperate table for each product, which I then combine into one). I could work around this, but I opted to leave it as it did not affect use. The reason you had a...

    AE - Export all except?

    Best way I can think would be to put an interface on your main network, and a storage bus on the small network attached to that interface. The small network should automatically use all the storage in the main network for everything it can not store locally (as long as you set your priorities up...

    Applied Energistics auto-crafting probloem

    I would say routers are your best bet. You do not want to use pipes or RP since any speed advantage you get from using multiple furnaces is going to be reduced by the travel times. Putting your interface on a router which is set to shove them into furnaces would get you fast and even...

    I did bee math! (Now with more usability!)

    Spreadsheet updated to incorporate the data collection done by the wiki team. Now MUCH easier to use. Make sure to thank MilConDoin and the rest of the wiki team for their awesome work. EDIT: there are a fair few using the spreadsheet at the moment, feel free to use the ability to make a copy...

    Old Adeptcraft - A collection of memories

    Well, end flowers is recessive, so by picking a flower that is dominant you can ensure it is always the active one. A quick check shows lilly pads is dominant. So, you get a princess as lilly pad/end, and pure end drones, with 4x drones. The most any drone/princess can have is 50/50 lilly pad...

    Old Adeptcraft - A collection of memories

    Worst case scenario inject your princess only with a different flower (preferably getting it on dominant only, not recessive), also inject it with 4x fertility. This will allow it to reproduce, and make a bunch of drones which will still have a lot of the ender flower type. You will have to be...

    Applied Energistics and Boilers

    I am, and you could cut one tesseract out of the equation by using only one supplier connected to both the fuel and water on different faces. Two works just fine as well though in case your water and fuel are coming from different places.

    Applied Energistics and Boilers

    You pipe two liquids into two faces. Thats all there is to it.

    Applied Energistics and Boilers

    I made a tiny stub AE network that only managed my boilers and stored the resources used in them, then connected it to my main network with an interface/storage bus (which creates a 1-way link). I cant imagine running my boilers off my main AE network though, no. That just seems silly and prone...

    Applied Energistics and Boilers

    I have absolutely fallen in love with tesseracts for boilers/combustion engines recently. In addition to this trick, you can do a similar thing with liquids, but in that case it works even better since you only need 1 tesseract for both water and fuel if you put it right next to the...

    Applied Energistics and Boilers

    I use a single exporter into a Tesseract, and just put a destination tesseract next to the firebox on each of my boilers. An interface is a much better solution for one boiler, but tesseracts are not expensive outside ender pearls (easy to get lots of by mid-game) and have no maintenance cost.

    Old Adeptcraft - A collection of memories

    That is called a page file. Every OS uses some of your HDD for backup ram once a task is no longer actively using it. Even an SSD is absurdly slow compared to actual ram though, you would never want to use it as primary RAM.
