Applied Energistics Sorting Doubt.

[Horacio Moreno]

So i was playing on my DW20 FTB pack and made a pretty simple setup for an ME Terminal with the Drive, a Crafting Terminal and the Controller. I've got an Ender chest hooked up to my Crafting Terminal with a Precision export bus. The ender chest is also connected to a Deep Storage Unit holding thousands of cobblestone. I use an itemduct to connect the enderchest to the storage unit, upgraded with a pneumatic servo. i am curently using a quarry and putting items on the ender chest. I whitlisted Cobblestone in the Itemduct. I thought that might make the cobblestone go to the storage unit and the rest to the terminal, but cobblestone goes to the terminal also. What can i do?

Remove the itemduct and hook up the DSU with a storage bus to the ME network. Alternatively remove the import bus and use more itemduct to pull from the chest into an me interface that is further away than the DSU.

So like I will put all my stuff on the me terminal and then take the cobble out?

Yes.

 

[Horacio Moreno]

Um sorry if I am kind of a noob but the storage bus extracts items?

Yes.

Actually No. Itemducts in default mode put items into the first available inventory (first as in closest to the source along the duct). If you pull everything from the chest and the first storage along the line is the DSU, cobble will go there first and everything else will go into the interface, ergo into the ME system. Just make sure it is connected like this:

 DI

No, it makes the connected inventory available as storage to the AE system. Going with this proposal means everything flows through the AE system, but the cobble gets stored inside the DSU (by the AE system). Just make sure you don't have cobble stored in any other storage or the system might prefer that one.

And make sure, the DSU never becomes empty. AE hates empty DSUs. I mean really hate - it crushes the game in its rage.

 

[Golrith]

If you can, filter the items into the DSUs before they hit the AE system. While yes you can use AE to move the items into the DSU, each item movement costs power.

Why on earth would it hate DSUs? are you sure its not just because you don't bother to filter the cobble in the storage bus attached to the DSU and set it to higher priority than the rest of the storage? After all how is the ME network gonna know where to put stuff if you don't specify it.

It's not the DSU part, it's the empty.

AE sorts in this order:
Highest priority with matching item
Any priority with matching item
Highest priority where item fits
any priority where item fits

I really don't see why he didn't make it sort to highest priority then any regardless of item in inventory or not, but that's the way it's coded.

 

[KingTriaxx]

Open the storage and make sure it's set for cobble. AE will stop complaining.

 

[Vicerious]

AE's sorting is more accurately:

1. Highest priority with item present
2. Any priority with item present
3. Highest priority partitioned for item
4. Any priority partitioned for item
5. Highest priority with space available
   
6. Any priority with space available

Storage buses attached to single-item storage, like barrels and DSUs, should be partitioned to match the contents of the storage whenever possible.

That^^^ fun bug in my custom mod pack that if you hook up a non-configured storage bus to an empty barrel it immediately fills it with mob essence... Yes, you read right, a barrel filled with mob essence

It will also fill chests with fluid "items". Each item counts for 1 mB of fluid. This is just ExtraCells being a little derpy.
