[AE] Different type of copper

[Niels Henriksen]

How to handle this in AE crafting? Im collecting oreberry that gives another kind of copper than copper-ore so in my storage I have 2 kinds of copper.

Use MFR Unifier to make them the same ID or slightly cheaper a Forge Lexicon (on a Mystical Plynth) to change the IDs. MFRs Unifier can be automated though and you can just send your ingots through it as part of the process.

Ah nice

Tossing them into a pulverizer is a slightly more power expensive option also; turns them into the 'correct' dusts which then gets picked up by your processing system.

So an idea could be to make a subnetwork that makes the oreberry to nuggets -> ingot -> dust -> ingot....

I do it that way because I already have the pulverizers for ores so I just add the 'wrong' ingots to export busses for the pulverizers. Saves me from setting up a unifier for this.

In terms of AE crafting it doesn't matter, recent versions of AE are smart about using the ore dictionary. Still nice to unify them to save on drive types space and/or for using storage monitors to quickly see resource levels.

You don't need a subnetwork for this.
In my opinion there are not many things you need to do in subnetworks.
I only have a subnetwork for Filling Tesseracts, Redstone Energy Cells and Redstone Energy Conduits.

even in that you dont need a subnetwork. But it can Be used to hide the crafting steps of a tesseract.

 

[KingTriaxx]

Use fuzzy export buses, which only care that it's copper, not what kind of copper.

If you only want to use AE, you do need a subnetwork as far as I know.
You can't tell an Interface to output Redstone in the Magma Crucible and Empty Redstone Energy Conduits in the Liquid Transposer.
I like to limit myself to only use certain mods when building a fully automated processing factory.
If you make use of all mods available you certainly don't need a subnetwork for this as well.

I process all ores via precision export buses attached to pulverizers -- I would just add that secondary copper bar to one of my export buses, because I am lazy like that.

Ah... its because I have my liquid redstone in a tank

I think I'll do it this way next time too. I was just too lazy coming up with an auto-refill concept for the tank.

I have a 4.000.000 mB steel tank with both ender and redstone if the magma crucible is full of ender and redstone it will by it self make it to liquid when needed.

That's one way, but who would ever need that much Liquid Ender? (except you want to fill a whole Mystcraft Age with this stuff manually =D)
I was thinking about Level Emitters grabbing the amount of liquid in the tank somehow. Not that easy, but easy is boring =)

 

[AlanEsh]

Why wouldn't you just keep one magma crucible plus liquid transposer pair per type (redstone and ender) stocked full with your AE system? Then just us ME Interfaces to feed in conduit/frames when you need to fill them?

Actually, you don't even need the tank. Just have the magma crucible automatically eject into the liquid transposer. The internal tanks of the crucible and transposer will serve as enough of a buffer.

 

[KingTriaxx]

Gates sensing liquid in a tank to provide the redstone signal for an export bus? I just set it up to drop the exact amount of redstone or pearls into a chest and then put those in manually.
