AE Help Needed!

[Archie Duffy]

Hello my fellow beast feeders!

I've seen some youtubers automating their MACs and I want to do the same. What I mean by this is; how do I send ore to get automatically pulverized when it enters my AE system?[DOUBLEPOST=1404761869][/DOUBLEPOST]If you need more information, just ask.

you don't need a MAC for that, just have a pulverizer with an ME export bus set to export ore and an import bus attached to it.

To automatically pulverise ores, all you have to do is put a ME precise export bus on a pulcerizer, filter the ores in it, put a ME import bus on the pulverizer to retrieve the dust and done.

Remember to set the proper sides in any TE3 machines to correspond to the sides you attach the ME connections.

I know that, but the ones I've seen have a ME Interface block on the back of the pulverizer or redstone furnace.

The use of ME interfaces on machines is done to export crafting jobs. Like if you want to teach a ME network to craft glass. You then manually make a pattern that says that sand->glass, put it in the crafting slots of the ME interface. When you then queues for crafting of glass in the Access terminal the network will send glass sand to your furnace through that ME interface.

But it would be idiotic to do this for ores IMO. You want them to always be automatically processed into ingots so you don't need to wait for this step every time you want to craft something.

That's what I needed to know! Thanks Shadow.

That is actually not the whole truth. A ME interface is an inventory and, if you don't configure anything, puts everything inserted into the network. If you deal with machines that can auto-export (like TE machines) you can use an interface instead of an import bus. Cheaper and faster. The best setup (with TE machines) is therefore an export bus to put the ores in (fuzzy if you deal with same ores from different mods) and an ME interface to deal with the output.

Yeah ofc, but didn't want to overcomplicate it for him. In general terms the ME interface for crafting recipes and ME import bus will work on any mods machines.

I disagree. You need to learn to do things the right way from the start or bad habits settle in.
