So instead of a router, a machine filter, and two relays, I'd use three routers, even more upgrades, and a chest? Somehow, I'm not seeing the advantage. So far a diamond pipe and two tesseracts seems like the simplest option What about the Gregtech translocators? Can those filter items into...

Routers can't insert into both the top and bottom of a block. I suppose I could have the interface connect to a router with thoroughness and a machine filter set to only insert into relays, and then have relays on top and bottom of the blast furnace, but that's not really an improvement,

Putting an export bus on the bottom works fine, as long as you're only ever going to craft one recipe in that blast furnace. Three of my four furnaces are set to autocraft aluminum, chrome, tungsten, and silicon, but I reserve this furnace for crafting steel and tungsten steel on demand.

So I've been having a bit of an issue with integrating my industrial blast furnace with my AE network. Placing an export bus on top of a blast furnace block works fine for all the single-ingredient recipes like silicon plates and aluminum, but when I try to make steel or tungstensteel, I need...

Diamonds are worthless to me. I'd trade them 1:1 for AE quartz or 1:4 for copper if I could.

The recipe gives you three gunpowder, so it works out to a little more than 8 redstone per TNT, and roughly 40 redstone per iridium plate. Which isn't that bad.

Beautiful. Exactly what I was looking for.

Are there any efficient ways to make gunpowder, aside from making a creeper soulshard?

Wood golems work great on an interface, too. Plop an interface down in the center of a farm plot with straw golems, and the wood golems will deposit things directly into your network. It's probably a good idea to use a level emitter to shut off or cut off the interface when you get a certain...

Large hollow hills are one of the few places that can still challenge a late-game player. In maximally enchanted thaumium armor wielding a fully enchanted Sword of the Zephyr and Wand of Lightning, I still have to be very circumspect when I crack one of these open. It's very easy to get...

Huh, that works pretty well. Speed isn't that big a factor, since tiny dusts are generated by the ones and twos. I kind of wish there was a "crafting control" block or somesuch that could handle all of that in a centralized location, but as is the level emitters controlling export buses does...

Barrels actually synergize quite well with AE. I highly recommend using them to store things like cobble and dirt early on, then hook up your barrels to your network via an interface bus once you get some infrastructure set up.

That would be a level detector hooked up to an autocrafting table. What I'm trying to figure out is if there's a way to combine the level detector logic with the internal AE crafting system.

ME Chests are actually kind of inefficient in multiples. If you have multiple disks, it's probably better to just go with an ME Drive. Also, a Wireless Access Point is well worth the investment.

So, are there ways to set up conditions so that my AE autocrafting system will automatically craft something when a condition is met? For instance, have it automatically craft more cells so that there is always at least a stack of cells in my system at any time, or have it automatically package...

I also don't see a system to keep the battery boxes charged. You're going to need another ender chest hooked up to a charging station with a filter/retriever setup on each side.

Just something I discovered last night - minium stone recipes work great in the Molecular Assembler Chamber. You can even set up the recipes to make another minium stone, and it will automatically craft a new one when the one it was using breaks. That means with the right induction furnace and...

Industrial centrifuges are nice, but what you really need to shoot for is an industrial blast furnace and an industrial electrolyzer so you can make titanium. That will give you access to mining drills and lasers, as well as quarries. Centrifuges are mostly used for making copper, tin, and...

Eh, the vis usage from charging and repair definitely isn't negligible. Try taking a pick with repair to the nether and see how much the aura goes down after mining a bunch of netherrack. You'll be surprised.

Steeleaf pickaxes are a nice guaranteed way to get a fortune enchant on a pickaxe, until you can get a more durable solution. One thing to note about the thaumium tools is that the upgraded elemental tools have diamond as their base stat instead of iron, and have unique abilities on top of...
