Need help with generator setup

[Jasko]

I have a ton of ender pearls so I decided to make this ender generator "power plant". I didn't want to go into each generator one by one putting in ender pearls, so I was wondering if there was a way to pump pearls into the generators automatically. The ender pearls are currently stored in my ME system.

Export bus attached to each generator, set to export an Ender Pearl.

Not tested, but this looks like the perfect application for a Factorization router.

Do you mean import bus, I don't want to take ender pearls out of the generators.

Nope. Import busses import into the network.

Which one would I use, the precision, fuzzy or normal one

Precision or Fuzzy, for stack mode.

Router works, so if you're on 1.6 I'd recommend precision export bus -> router. You need only one setup per bank instead of one bus per generator.

I'd have gone with an export bus exporting pearls set to a chest and an attached transfer node to the chest exporting the pearls which are connected with pipes to the generators
seeing as the generators and the transfer nodes are both from Extra Utilities and the pipes are not that expensive

you don't need stack mode, each pearl is burned slowly enough that 1 basic can service them all (into chest and using itemducts to transport them to the gens) with the single item export speed

This is indeed the optimal way of supplying lots of machines adjacent to each other with items. This is what I always do if there are more than 2 machines that needs to be supplied the same material. Be it Furnaces, Engines, Fermenters, Squeezers, Coke ovens, you name it.

I just learned about these Open Blocks Extra Utilities (thanks for clarification, guys) Ender Generators. But yeah, I would use AE busses for this scenario here, and as ratchet freak said, no need for "precision" busses, just use the basic export bus because you won't need "stack mode".

Not tested, but this looks like the perfect application for a Factorization router.

That's true, however I've stopped using Factorization routers because that mod seems like its dying out and I didn't want to rely on a dying mod. Just making the Router is aggravating, you have to make that solar heater thing and place the mirrors around it, then do some other weird thing that takes a long time... it's just not a fun process to make a Factorization Router even tho the finished product is awesome to use. I always did my large bee farms with one Router for all my impregnated frame insertions, but in Monster pack I went "full AE mode" instead. No more routers for me.

Yep, that is true, but making 200 AE basic export busses is way easier (IMO) than making that one Factorization Router. If you have the certus quartz of course.

Extra utilities.

I think itemducts (or something else with round robin distribution) would work better than transfer nodes.

 

[belgabor]

They are from extra utilities.

 

[Yusunoha]

Extra utilities.

not completely true, as itemducts can get backlogged and extra utility nodes cannot
if you place enough upgrades in a transfer node it'll be really fast aswell

I am well aware.

Guys do not laugh at me cause I am learning some new machines to use but what exactly are these generators for ? Are these the ender generators that can speed the process of ender pearl grow? Thats not to specific umm I seen a video with these in them on direwolfs server play. So I am just curious

They generate redstone flux and are fuelled by ender pearls and ender lilly seeds.

These Generators produce energy by burning Ender Pearls or Ender Lily seeds.
What Direwolf used to accelerate the growth of the Ender Lilies are Ender Cores

yo thanks guys totally cool to know !!!! Gonna give it a try any idea where to learn alot about rotary craft and reactor craft? I wanna start to build some crazy stuff.
