The export bus you can see is set to move single item/craft.
A MAC programmed with how to make TNT and itnt. Will then craft all the nessessary itnt to fill the bottom slot if the machine.
This is particularly useful as all the recipes in the implosion compressor require ITNT, so keeping it filled is the best option.
how do you supply your system with itnt? since your setup will jam, if system runs out of it

Yup, this solution via export bus on the itnt side was exactly what I was describing, yet somehow fault was found with it.
Someone else posts the same idea but has access to pictures as they are not on mobile posts the same idea, everyone agrees.

I don't think I can ever be taken seriously if I wish to spend my time on the Latop playing tha game, and my time off it talking about it. My luck precisely.

Also, this works particularly well with a creeper soul shard set up with a leek emitter - activate the shard if below 5000 gunpowder or something.
Unfortunately, most people are visual, and would rather see something than described to them in words.

Also, people have this misconception that the system jams if it can't craft iTNT. If an export bus requests for a craftable item, but the system lacks materials for it, only that job gets stuck. The rest of the system is unaffected.

But the ME autocrafting system isn't perfect. Which is why you must have a reset switch, in the event that it gets stuck on a crafting job and you can't cancel it via the Crafting Monitor.

As for those obsessed with creating the precise amount of iTNT, my advice: don't. Just make sure the machine has a stack of it, and you're ready to go. The implosion compressor will always use the correct amount of iTNT.[DOUBLEPOST=1368464545][/DOUBLEPOST]And if you're gonna ask how I ensure ample supply of iTNT: UU-matter. Because I don't want to deal with Creepers.

Witches drop gunpowder aswell, don't they? Or am I THAT bad at vanilla?
If so, my choice of having both was very foolish indeed...
ESP since the witch runs almost full-time to make red stone to make ruby to make chrome.

Also, the MFR grinder can do a pretty good job of this, albeit requiring power unlike turtles.

you didnt get what i`ve said earlier.
if system has all resources to craft itnt, and has an export bus, that exports itnt, the system wont craft itnt by itself when it`s run out of it.
in order to avoid this, you need to have external itnt supply, or demand itnt by yourself.

The export bus can be configured to craft the item, by cycling through the stack settings, you can come to single item/craft and/or always craft.
This is what has been mentioned several times.

It's been mentioned multiple times already. You're not paying attention. ~_~

My solution is me interface and 3 mfr item routers, the item routers send the items from the interface into the correct sides of the compressor.

View attachment 4281

It is interesting that you're using MFR item routers as a kind of cheap diamond pipe. It actually looks pretty good in the context of gregtech.

Fun story: item routers can suck entities from on top of them if and only if they have an explicit route for them. That includes objects on MFR conveyors. In this case it might let you make your build a bit more compact and definitely funnier.

I like your soul-shard idea ._.
Never would have thought of that..
