Or if it is dumping into a pipe or tube or... ;)

Actually... it can. Well, let me rephrase, it encourages you to do so. See, the ME Crafting table pulls out stacks of items on a left click, half stacks on a right click. So people who understand, and are concerned with, more items transferred = more power will tend to pull with right clicks to...

Using Rednet's PRC how can I do the following. Input 1 toggles and the output is turned on steady. Input 2 toggles and turns off the output. The situation. 2 gates on a Redstone Energy Cell. The first gate is set to emit a signal when the cell is empty. The second is set to emit a signal...

Actually I find that having pipes routed past the farm w/TE Insertion pipe into the farm, then into an interface is more efficient. No need for an export bus on the farm at all. :)

Well, given that I made the similar mistake with the RECell... :D Welllllllllll, actually, maybe. But in practice no. I know soul sand can pop out of a sludge boiler, but I forget if netherrack is an option. If not, then, no. Definitely. We're just slightly different in our build...

The math is pretty simple. You get 1600 heat from charcoal. The sawmill creates 6 planks which each give 300 heat for a total of 1800. So already you're 200 heat ahead. But it gets better. Charcoal takes 160MJ to create, 6 planks takes 80MJ. So 10 heat/MJ from the furnace or 22.5/MJ from...

No. For example, I know that questions with question marks. When it comes to power robust implies constant. Actually, you stated the preference for "after coal" after I pointed out that one doesn't need an robust power system. In fact during the course of this discussion I have decided...

Granted. However I find it more annoying to have to manually sort and process stuff than it is to drop coal into my engines once every so often. 3-4MJ/t, especially if you have a RECell to store the excess and cover the spikes when you're actually processing, is more than enough to get into AE...

I read "consistent" as "robust" because most people conflate the two to the extreme. Want to know my "consistent" power source? Look, a RECell! -.- Great, that's you. But you, and others, are generalizing that to everyone. Here's what you wrote: What you define as "a good constant...

When you got started. I generally start with AE well before I have a 4th double chest. I have done 0 quarrrying. I have AE done before the quarrying since you need storage before you can effectively quarry. People keep saying this as if it is a truism. But what they really mean is "I...

One thing to remember is that when you make a lower tier storage cell you're not, in any way, wasting materials. When I am starting out with AE I start off with 1k cells. Yes, 1k. When I need to reduce my 1k cells and upgrade to 4k cells I pull the 1k out, use an IO Port to dump the items...

16, technically. AE interfaces with LP and LP does have pipes for that. In fact I tossed LP back into my world this time around just to play with the AE<->LP interactions.

Doesn't need to be a separate network at all. Just slap a Storage Bus on the chest. The chest then becomes part of the network and thus the location where those items are stored. The level emitters then ensure the network is stocked with the level you specify.

Somewhat explained at the end of my latest message. Traveler's pouch is my term for an ender pouch linked to a chest which is auto-stocked with items that the player deems useful to have at all times. This is to differentiate it from the ender pouch people generally have which is linked to...

My presumption is that Canopy Wood is like most other varieties of wood, NBT variants on base wood. Besides, that example is kind of odd anyway. Again, why would you need to do that with a properly stocked traveller's pouch? By the time I had my first quarry up and running in my previous...

Same for every other sorting system. And, as you noted, you have "multiple ways" of doing things with RP2. Same, too, for AE. I put quotes there because of the contrived nature of your multiple ways as eventually most people will converge on an optimal mix of convenience and expedience. BTW, I...

LP. Built upon BP, can drop items, but it is harder to do so than with vanilla BP. I've only been able to do it once in several worlds. Oddly enough it had to do with a BP->RP interface. >.>

Pretty sure that is not true for many installs. ;)

That's not entirely true. Preformatted drives, priority of chests, those are sorting.
