p2p issues. why isn't this working?

[laggy1]

I have recently started TRYING to use p2p tunnels with my new ae2 network, but i don't know what i'm doing wrong.

This is my current network, and this is the p2p tunnel that im trying to link my drives with. (the one my crosshair is on)

i have 32 drives attached, yet the smart cable says 1, and only 8 drives work. i dont know what else to do. i have plenty of power. some proof that only 8 work:

Anyone know what i need to do? any help would be appreciated. Im playing on sky factory 2 if thats important.

Doesn't look like any channel is used on the dense cable? Is there a disconnect before the smart cable that is connected to the drives? Maybe the load / save of the P2P tunnel settings using the memory card didn't work.

 

[laggy1]

there was 1 channel used, and i have saved and loaded as much as i can ( even though im not saure how i do that) and it still doesnt work

He needs to use a dense cable out of the p2p then break it down. Passing through machines like that only gives a total of 8 channels.

No, that doesnt work either, i am testing in creative, this is my power setup, to make sure there is power and this is the p2p output its not working

Something else in the creative version isn't working. It looks like your source p2p isn't using a channel.

to use p2p tunnels

it's does not work like U want.
any AE2 block transfer only 8 channels.
but Ur construction is 4*8 ME drives. so U powerup only first two 'layers' (2*4) of drives.
U need 4 p2p or dense cable out p2p. And split Ur construction on 4 1*8 blockswith space between them.

 

[adamich]

why i dont see fiber between dense cable and cable which connecting 2 p2p covers? in Ur config U use 34 channels as I see.

 

[adamich]

if U breaking one of 4 dense cables system lightuping?

i fixed it guys, i used a smarts cable out of my main fluix cable, then used 4 p2p tunnels and had smart cable coming out of each, with 8 drives on each smart cable. this is my current setup for storage (smart cable uses 4 channels, each dense uses 8):this is the p2p on the other end (its says 31 channels used because theres a drive missing)and to show it is working:thanks for the help guys

Basically only 8 channels can go through machines. Just because you don't have any non-dense cables between the controller and the machines doesn't mean you can put 32 machines in a row.
