ME System Help

[B0bGary]

Hey guys,

Basically, I have 2 ME Systems, one in the overworld and one in a mystcraft age. The one in the mystcraft age is my main base, whilst the one in the overworld is hooked up to my tree farms and ethanol production to keep my forcefield going. I have a MFR tree farm producing 7 types of saplings in the overworld. I need a way to transfer the saplings produced to my ME System in my mystcraft base, whilst keeping 2 stacks in the overworld system. The only way I can think of is to have several ender chests, level emitters and precision export buses, but I am looking for a more efficient way of doing things. Thanks!

You could use a Quantum Network Bridge, making the two networks a single one.

I guess, but that would be counter productive considering all the other things I've put in place to automate the system. Plus it would mean another steam boiler in the overworld to power it.

Well, one ender chest or tesseract should be enough if you are willing to do some non-AE item transfer. If you do not insist on keeping exactly 2 stacks of saplings you could do an overflow system with storage busses, but that probably wouldn't be less complex than export busses with level emitters.

Replace the ME system in the overworld with a small LP network and link it to the mystcraft ME network through a single enderchest.

Export all your saplings to main base then set an interface set to export the 7 saplings, attach a translocator to the interface and an ender chest with a diamond nugget to regulate the amount of saplings in the chest

Thanks for all your replies. What I ended up doing was setting up a chest with a storage bus in the overworld and set it to only keep saplings. I then had a translocator set to keep a stack in the chest and send the rest to an enderchest.

If you are not regularly running out on saplings I'd recommend replacing the storage bus + chest with an interface. Cheaper and more space efficient.
