ME Network power

[Dr Drinkwater]

I have an ME network build (creative mode) which consists of 1 precision import bus, 1 controler, 1 access terminal, 84 blue cables, 32 drives (each full of 10 64k storage cells.
Its somewhat large, yes. The thing is, the controller works fine, until it is connected to the network. At which point it says there is no power. I have 5 battery boxes hooked up to it, each with 1 infinite battery.
Can someone tell me what the problem is? Do I not have enough power, and if so how much do I need?
Thanks

What version are you running? Applied Energistic's 1.6.2 version temporarily lost UE compatibility from rv11.d until rv12.a.

Not sure, how would I find out?
I thik it does work with EU though, as it worked when I had less drives.

If it worked in a small configuration, then it's not due to compatibility issues.

The system's consuming somewhere on the order of 750 AE Energy per tick, about equal to 15 KJ/t. What type of battery boxes are you using? The smaller ones may not be able to put out energy that rate: you'll probably need the equivalent of an Ultimate Energy Cube.

Right. thanks very much!
I'll just use an ultimate nergy cube sinse I'm in creative mode.
Great help!

use a mfsu, or some higher power supply, or just spring for some full energy cells next to the controller

you are in creative then there is no reason to skimp on the energy supply unless that is what you are testing
