Storage to the extreme

[Colensocon1]

Finally after 2 days of work i have managed to put all my 64k's in place i have 900 64Ks and i plan to add 1800 more but for now its fine the main reason i did this was to be able to store cobble currently on 42 Million! on my way to 1 billion! then a Trillion then no idea lol but anyways what do you guys think?

Very cool looking

 

[Norfgarb]

one day i plan to join you in achieving this epicness. well done sir.

 

[L.E.X.]

What baffles me is the amount of red disks.

Mainly cobblestone i mean 1 64k disk holds 520,192K Cobble and i have 42 Million cobble you do the maths round it up to 500K So that would make it so i have about 84 64k's of cobble and this isn't my only storage place i have other areas of my base holding 64k's

What do you have powering this monstrosity?

 

[Beleriond01]

Looks epic though I cannot help but think...DSUs?

 

[ArcticDreamz]

Yeah , DSUs or QuantumChests .

 

[Yusunoha]

and then at one point, you try to store an item, and it says "not enough space" and you get a heart attack, only to realize you accidentally cut off a cable

But then he would have to be content with staring at a single block versus an entire warehouse of disk drives.

 

[Bibble]

I'll agree that, aesthetically, and for the challenge, this is awesome. For functionality, you'd be better off with DSUs (that's usually where I go because a warehouse of disks isn't possible).

 

[GentleBear]

Of course DSU's would be more space efficient, but then you wouldn't be able to have a server-farm :-D Reminds me of the pictures of the Google serverparks :-D

Anyone wanna bet it won't allow him to add more than 2147483647 of the same items to a single network?

 

[Riuga]

Honestly, Greg sounds like he's affected a version of Bejamin Button's disease at this point. He's physically old (speculating). But from his actions and sayings, he's mentally 6 or 8 years old.

EDIT: Wrong thread. meant to be in "Greg's done it again"

There are a lot of disks. I'm scared.

Hows the lag of your ME network? We had about 4.5 million cobble in our ME system and it was pretty terrible.

Doesn't make sense that the amount of items in a system has any impact. It's just a number.

 

[tonic316]

It's because it has to go through all those data disks every time something is done to the me system.

 

[Juanitierno]

I did notice increased lag once i had many constant automated processes affecting the AE network.

Like, i have several self-regulating processes (keeping 4000 planks while at the same time theyr being used in several boilers, processing bee byproducts, etc )

Im not saying client lag or framerate lag, more like the network took MUCH longer to displays the items in the terminals and such.

What kind of improvement did shutting down the entire ME network give?
