Hi, I currently have a ME network that receives all my ores from quarries and laser reactors, I have an ore dictionary export bus with the argument (ore*) that moves ores from my AE system to a Mekanism processing factory. However, it sends nether ores, BoP ores, and others that can't be processed by Mekanism. Is there a way to filter out these ores so they don't clog my machines?

Thanks :)

Instead of filtering it to allow all ores, why not just filter it to export the ores that you want?

Your options are a bit limited. You said you wanted all ores, and you're getting that. Personally, I'd receive all my ores into a central sorting system first, and then import the good ones into AE2. I wouldn't use AE2 itself as a sorting system. Not for sorting "junk" anyway.

Rather than the oredict card, use a couple of capacity cards to bump your whitelist up to 9 item types. That's enough for you to export all the common overworld ores for processing and leave the extra stuff behind.

Weirdly, i'm getting that way in my current game. I have more DSUs than ME drives right now. OK, DSUs with storage buses, i'm not a total troglodyte just yet :p

Dump your ores into a Storage Drawer system, and then pull from that, so you don't need the ores clogging your AE system, and can filter the ones you don't want by using a Void Upgrade.
