    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    This one seems to be fixed in my 1.6 modpack. Yay! I get really annoyed with any interface that doesn't close when I press the inventory key. I almost (almost) didn't give Applied Energistics a chance because of its search bar behavior back in the 1.4 days.

    Applied Energistics

    From ae-mod.info/Requested-Features: "Intermedite Pattern Flag and Visiblity Option. ( Hide certain patterns )" and under planned features: "Custom Categories for Browsing Items in Terminals." Looks like that may appear in a future release in some form, Larmonade.

    Applied Energistics

    I thought I saw a changelog once that said import buses used more energy to import than interfaces. With that in mind I generally favor the interface for importing. Man, do I like IC2's ejector upgrades. Now my on-demand crafting area has just one interface for every machine, which beats even...

    Powering Thermal Expansion machines

    Zizizink, would you say that you believe in reducing, reusing, and reanimating? (PS: Add one more zero to that MJ figure)

    Moving day

    For me, the "early game" ends when I set up completely automatic power generation - when I'm no longer counting coal for the generator or steam engines. And I'd further class "end-game" as that point where my automation can craft more of itself (AE), which really starts to accelerate my tech...

    Intriguing FPS Discovery

    Keep in mind that many mods add world gen. This results in increased processing time for generating new chunks, as well as increased time loading existing chunks, and increased frame rendering time because of all the tile entities mod authors love to use for their new blocks.

    Detecting Online Player

    Yeah... That mod is Immibis' TubeStuff, in case you convince your server operator to install it. I myself don't know of any alternatives, unfortunately.

    Applied Energistics

    I'm pretty sure that the bottom of the encoder is specifically the output slot, so a storage bus there would only see encoded patterns. Try putting it on the side. Also, as PhilHibbs said, I think you're setting up an infinite loop. Also think about setting the export bus to "craft only".

    Question abot Power Converters Energy Bridges.

    Yes, and I always notice a repeating error message in the server log when they have done this, something along the lines of "[IC2 API error] powerconverts.block.something is already added to the energy net, aborting". It happens when the chunk is unloaded and then loaded again. So if you keep...

    Question about MFR bioreactor

    Have translocators? With a diamond nugget upgrade, translocators become "regulators" with 9 filter slots. With glowstone, they also move a stack at a time, so they're about as fast as you can get. I would set up an ME interface (or two) stocking a stack each of the items you want to use, and...

    Automatically Turning off/on Machines When loggin in/out

    If you can install Immibis' Tubestuff, there's a block called Online Player Detector which emits a redstone signal when you're online.

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    Yeah. This was after a few hours of idling. Found my REC completely drained despite not using the assembly table. Made sure to disconnect all conduits to other areas before confirming the lasers were in fact eating the full 4 mj/t each. There are so many strange bugs with my current...

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    Then my setup is acting up, I guess. I measured 132 mj/tick draining from 33 idle lasers. Nothing a gate trigger couldn't fix, though.

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    May I ask what the decorative blocks are called on your floor here?

    Editing Applied Energistics Config

    I don't know if that's possible. However, I discovered something that may be considered a bug. With a solar panel on my Power Armor headpiece, the wireless terminal has gotten to 25% and stayed there for weeks. It fluctuates up and down a bit, but I never have to charge it, ever.

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    Lasers drain 4 mj/t even while idle. I had to set up gate triggers to manage mine, as they were a massive drain for me too.

    Getting the most out of your ME Network

    Save yourself more certus by skipping the controller. The chest will function with just a power supply.

    Limiting amount of a certain resource in an AE network

    That can work too, but it requires very careful planning and more effort. If you drop in even one unformatted disk somewhere, your system may misbehave. This may be an intended gameplay mechanic on Algorithm's part (better system requires more work), though, which is why I don't expect him to...

    Getting the most out of your ME Network

    Another quick tip for the very early game. You can automatically save a lot of power by putting a pressure plate in front of your first terminal, and connecting that plate's signal to an RE cell or HV splitter. Now your controller only draws power when you stand in front of it. Later on, if...

    Limiting amount of a certain resource in an AE network

    Allow me to take a stab at it. Tentative name: Level controller GUI: Top line string entry named "Amount:". Function: Tells level controller desired limit Next line: 63-square grid similar to storage bus preformatting. Function: Tells level controller what items to take action on Right side of...
