That must have been added pretty recently. I'm glad; I'll be more than happy to shitcan the meteors and Minetweaker in my own recipe for the skystone and presses.
How do you feel about AE2?

I like the meteors. Having generated over 30 worlds testing my pack, and finding only a few meteors (they seem to be rare for me on the surface), those that I have found have always impressed me. Found one that had landed in a beach, as a result, there were random glass blocks all over the place. Found another sitting in it's own pool of lava, and one time a double meteor that made an interesting S shape of the landscape.
For me, I like finding things in world gen, adds to the exploration. Sure it might make a mess of part of a biome, but come on, there are plenty more trees in the forest...
But I do believe there should be alternative crafting recipes for the plates and seeds, recipes that are more expensive long term in resources (not time), compared with finding/building a more efficient system.
You should either save time and waste resources, or save resources and waste time.
the alternative for seeds is using the non-pure crystals directly; expensive long term? yes you miss out on the doubling
I really like all of what hes done with AE2, made it more endgame the press plates don't bother me at all, server/single player you get them all with a few quarry's anyway.
And being a network engineer, I wish p2p was this easy, course I'd probably be out of a job if that was the case hah.

Calculation Circuit requires Pure Certus Quartz, and is needed for the 4k storage cells.
You don't need storage cells to get crystal growth accelerators. In other words, you don't need pure crystals before you get the accelerators.
That would significantly delay your ability to actually... oh, I dunno... store your stuff. Isn't that kind of the whole point of the mod?
In the world I did this in, I'm running off of 4 Golden Chests. I'm in no huge hurry to get more storage because my chests are only half full and can be upgraded.
And actually, I think that the entire point was to delay how quickly you could get a network up. If you don't even have the resources for creating and powering the growth accelerators (which aren't even expensive themselves) you probably aren't ready to start with the mod.
It isn't the resources so much as the steady power supply feeding the four growth accelerators that is the bigger problem. Those things are energy hogs. You're going to need at least one or two dedicated dynamos just for the growth accelerators themselves.
If you leave them on all the time, yes. You can turn them off when you're not using them using the equally cheap cable add-on that acts like the old dark cable.
Well, progression dictates that you would only start with one accelerator.
You need power to run your AE system anyway, so this kind of nudges you along in the right direction.
Science right there
How about EU? I would be interested, because someone has drawn me into some IC2E.

Weeellll... the config lists 0.5 RF per 1 AE unit, and 2 EU per 1 AE.
So... 16 RF/t -> 8 AE/t -> 4 EU/t/CGT
(And if I managed to mess up the math, I'm going to be really embarrassed.)
Well actually in SMP it's more of a problem because most servers have an unhealthy habbit of banning all chunkloaders and adding an AFK limiter to themselves. Why? I honestly have no idea whatsoever. Minor TPS increases maybe? Anyways, if you want to get the crystals on a server you're going to have to wait for it yourself or set a timer reminding you to come back and move your player ever so slightly to the left every ten minutes.
