mfr planter/breeder help

hi there i was hoping some one could give me some ideas how to make it so my planter and breeder both get carrots from my harvester.....i have me storage, logistics pipes and many more mods to use.

Use Ae to store all the carrots and then just send them to planter and breeder simple as that ! To get max efficiency and speed use fertilizer to grow your carrots! I havent played with logistics pipes since 1.2.5 so dont remember how they work exactly!

wasnt sure there was a way to send to more then one place with AE

Sure is ! Export buss on the planter and breeder, only thing ae is not that intelligent choosing where to send it first so u better have good supply of carrots when u start ! Also if u want to be extra safe you can put BC pipes in the mix! So when your carrots are harvested pump them from the inventory that is attached to harvester to diamond pipe that is attached to planter and me interface. Filter carrots to the color facing planter and color facing me interface leave blank. That way planter will be filled first and rest will go to your me network. Also be
sure to leave me interface blank, that way it will send anything that is pumped in it to your network

thank you for the info...did some more reading on AE and played around with the me interface and a wood pipe.......set the pipe between the interface and breeder/planter with a gate set to go off when empty and have a stack setting in the interface....makes it so only a few go in at a time but works great as no over flow and as soon as the item is used more go in... (edit) ok so it doesnt work as it screws with auto crafting if you run out

I often see this done via BC pipes that run past the planter first (using an insertion pipe) and the into LP/AE/whatever. This has a slow startup while the planter fills itself; you can optionally put dirt or something in some of the slots to make it not fill them. But once it's done that you don't need to think about it.

Supplier pipes on the planter and breeder configured to keep a certain amount of carrots in them should work.

 

[MadMan]

Your problem with autocrafting is because you are using me interface to pull the items from the network, and it is acting like is crafting that item and that has higher priority in all of your autocrafting.

This is an easy one. If you use Redpower tubes, and make it so that the planter and the breeder have an equal amount of pipe between them, the Tubes will automagically distribute the carrots evenly, without the need for and Applied Energistics system.

thank you all for the info and help
