    How to troubleshoot AE autocrafting?

    My MAC has 3 pattern providers and 7 cpus, so it should be big enough. And it makes lapotron crystals just fine. It makes iTNT just fine, it just doesn't like it when the export bus is set to auto-craft iTNT and put it into the implosion compressor

    Why Does Everyone Care So Much About Expense

    It all depends on how you want to play the game. I like machines. So I build a bunch of machines. You don't have to build tier 3 Gregtech machines if you don't want to. If all you want to do is make fancy looking buildings, but you don't like chopping down trees, you can set up a tree farm, then...

    How to troubleshoot AE autocrafting?

    Yes, you can automate it. Input for alloys/dusts is the top. The side with the iTNT picture on the side is where you put iTNT. The side without iTNT on the side is the output. So if you have AE, stick an interface on the top, put an import bus on the side without iTNT, put an export bus on the...

    How to troubleshoot AE autocrafting?

    Believe it or not, I actually know how AE works. And you are incorrect. The interface is where you put a crafting recipe: e.g., iridium alloy ingot --> iridium plate. So the interface pulls iridium alloy ingots from AE and puts it in the top slot. It does nothing for the iTNT. So I use the...

    How to troubleshoot AE autocrafting?

    I fixed the problem. I had an export bus set to autocraft industrial TNT. Apparently, AE doesn't like that option and refused to do any crafting at all (including the industrial TNT, despite having a bunch of sand, gunpowder, and flint). Getting rid of the export bus allowed AE to start actually...

    How to troubleshoot AE autocrafting?

    I'm breaking the MAC to reset it and nothing is solved.

    137 iridium isn't all that bad. That's 15 stacks of uu matter. On my old world, I had 80 stacks of UU before we reset the world and was making, I believe, 7 stacks a day. Never needed an IDSU, but I easily could have built one.

    How to troubleshoot AE autocrafting?

    I meant 40 MJ (200 units). And yes, everything is connected. The fact that the crafting recipes are even available shows that the crafting computer is hooked up. Otherwise, making a crafting table wouldn't even be an option. As of now, it is an option that I can select. Then I go to the...

    How to troubleshoot AE autocrafting?

    My AE won't autocraft anything right now. I mean literally anything, not even the simplest recipe (4 planks into a crafting table) will be made. The crafting interface just says it is making it, but it shows nothing in the missing section. And you can't cancel any tasks. I've had to resort to...

    Tree Breeding (Spoilers)

    I want to get walnut trees (and eventually chestnut trees). One of the other guys on my server is doing bees, so I'm (with his permission), planting bunches of trees around his base. I've gotten 2 walnut saplings, but it seems to be taking forever to get the last two, so I'm wondering if I'm...

    Why Does Everyone Care So Much About Expense

    I was going to say I don't care how much things cost. Then I tried to make something today that requires emeralds. Emeralds! Hell, chrome and iridium are easier get than emeralds. Yes, I can trade with villagers, but that means leaving my base, and you can't have me doing that, right? (It was...

    Begin strategy

    Yes, power converter steam consumer will take the entire 720 mB/t of steam and convert it to 144 MJ/t (the same rate as industrial steam engines). Even better is the EU conversion. 3 steam turbines will turn a 36HP boiler into 225 EU/t. But a power converter steam consumer and HV producer will...

    Begin strategy

    Since you're talking about ultimate, just use Power Converters. It'll take steam directly and convert it to either MJ or EU. So you don't have to worry about 198 steel for the industrial steam engines or the 777 steel needed for 3 steam turbines. Couple of days? Once the boiler is up and...

    Setting up a boiler

    The website: http://calculator.towerofawesome.org/ will perform these calculations for you. Gattsuru's calculations were for coal, not charcoal. For charcoal: a 27 LP boiler will use 2309 charcoal in 1 hour and 54 minutes to heat up to 1000 and then use 322 charcoal per hour. A 27 HP...

    I don't even know if they can spawn in a room. I had really high flux in my last base and they never spawned within my walls, only outdoors. And they really didn't destroy anything. Maybe building TC really far from your base is overrated. Direwolf built his TC stuff nearby, and just created...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    How far away? Because, if you have AE, it is ideal to have access to your AE system when doing TC research, because you'll need a bunch of random items. Too far away, and you'll constantly be going to your home base to, e.g., get eggs, get rubber, get meat, etc. I know that my last base had...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Can a matter fabricator accept power from more than one side? Right now, my matter fab is hooked directly up to a Power Converters EV source at 1400 EU/tick. If I add solar cells, can I put more EU into the matter fab by putting a fiber cable into another face of the matter fab?

    Applied Energistic Storage Room!

    How intuitive is AE autocrafting with respect to different types of ores? E.g., pulverized copper results in different ingots from macerated copper. If I have a recipe that I entered using one type of copper, will it use either type of copper or just the first type of copper? The reason I...

    Best way to make Advanced Hybrid Solars

    Agree with this. You'll need hybrids at first because of the extra energy they produce while waiting for materials. But after you get 5-6 ultimate hybrids, the wait to get new materials isn't that long and you can just go from advanced to ultimate.
