Guide to New Applied Energistics 2 from Simple to Advanced

[@ChosenArchitect]

*Here, I will provide updates and fact checks for these videos.* (I will try my best to add corrections if needed) - Dense Cables can connect to devices. However, I wouldn't recommend using them for direct connections, as it consumes space on your 8-channel line, limiting connections for other devices. - The setup featuring the 2x4x2 Molecular Assembler + Pattern Provider is merely illustrative of how things can connect. You're free to build it according to your needs. Additionally, you can always add more Molecular Assemblers to the sides of the Pattern Providers if desired, as they only require power and not an additional channel. What I showcased in the video was just an example. - I was mistaken when I said Level Emitters use a channel. They don't use a channel (the more you know!)

[@camer5371]

yo just so you know level emitters don't use a channel

[@memo3994]

Which part of the video shows the best setup for everything

[@camer5371]

@@memo3994there isnt really a best setup for everything as its dependant on your world and modpack

[@zackzeed]

Missed or said a few incorrect things here and there in the video but I can imagine it's not easy getting everything right, even with a script. I myself have used AE2 quite extensively (except for p2p tunnels xD) so I noticed the inconsistencies right away. Seems to me that you really tried to make a good video 👍 Personally I always wanted to make a video similar to this myself but I have zero video making experience so I haven't been motivated enough to do it 😂

[@Psyzenn]

This video is really good. The only part I disliked it and it is confusing to understand is P2P. You used words such as things and I would prefer example such as sub-nets with furnace. I think that example was so clear it can not be anymore clear and this is coming from a new person to minecraft and a modded one as well.

[@X33N]

I've always preferred the molecular assembler 'chandelier' setup personally but yours is very clear for demonstration purposes. Additional little tips that some might find useful: - If you're confused about the whole 'types' vs. 'bytes' on drives, just picture the drives the same as a chest. You have 36 slots in a chest, one slot might hold 64 cobble or one slot might hold one sword. For non-stackable items a chest can hold max 36 items. For stackable items it's 36 stacks of 64, or 2,304 items. Storage drives are just simulated chests; people talk about this 'confusing' mechanic when it's core Minecraft. - As you use an ME system over time, the items get fragmented with items spread across multiple storage disks. Again, imagining a series of chests, you might have 3 ender pearls in one chest and another 3 in a second chest, taking two slots. Same thing can happen on storage disks. So to defragment, use the IO Port shown at 15:43. AE fills up disks left to right, top to bottom in a given drive. So take the top left disk out and put it in the IO Port. This will empty everything off that disk into the network and onto the other disks leaving you with an empty disk. Then, pull the rest of the disks out of the drive and off of the network, and place the emptied disk back into top left. Then place all of your remaining disks into the IO Port to be exported. They will fill up the one singular drive as full as possible, including topping off anything that can stack. Take your next emptiest (or empty) disk and put it in top right slot of your drive, and again it will be filled up with as much stackable as possible. Repeat until everything is re-imported, and now you've consolidated your items on disks as much as can be and probably freed up quite a few 'type' slots. - The toggle bus and level emitters are pretty quickly gone over, but you can use those paired together to have entire auto-farm subnets only be active when you need items from that farm. Disabling the subnet running the farm can save you unnecessary sounds, energy, and resources depending on what goes into running that particular set of generation. i.e. if you're full of amethyst shards you can turn off the 'ping' 'pong' sounds by disabling the subnet running the formation/destruction planes until more are needed, rather than just using the overflow destruction card and having it running at full blast. - Finally, I don't know if AE has optimized around it, but a best practice I have always found for channel maintenance and AE performance is to avoid having loops in the cable. This might be moot now and just a holdover from ye olde days, but I use cable anchors to never have my network have multiple paths the channels might flow. Hub and spoke 100% is safest in my mind. Nice work Chosen!

[@ChosenArchitect]

Thanks bud!

[@tasty8186]

Thank you both! One question which I find it hard to get a straight answer on. Should i avoid putting NBT items inside ALL ae2 searchable storages? For instance if I just had a chest or (create) Vault with storage bus, could I keep a few specific tools in there or will it lag

[@Kraus-]

I would be more concerned with the clutter than lag. Even if you're not filling up storage disks with NBT items they're still cluttering the interface.

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

The chandelier is a top tier setup tho, where you can have all the acceleration cards already made. once it's full of patterns, the chandelier is a PITA to take down to get to everything and fill it out with accel cards.

[@MichaelDahlkvist]

One of the best comments ive read in a long time, the bytes part really is something ive wished ive known for a long time. Its so simple now that ive read that. Thanks for your comment friend!

[@Surr3alD3sign]

This is, quite possibly, the most well articulated and explained AE2 tutorial on this entire website. Ive been looking for a high quality guide like this for months but it seems that most creators assume you are atleast fairly compitent with AE2 which i am not lmao, ive played it alot but i never really go past early game with it bc it always breaks my brain

[@thenflsonic5880]

Hey Guys, this one off episode covering AE2 is a tool to help players when they are doing the Gregtech Star in ATM9 as it is the main ideal storage option to go for when doing Gregtech. ATM9 Videos return tomorrow. Enjoy the video!

[@FolixOrision]

Thank you for the effort you put into this video to make it easy to understand with examples. - Subnets have always confused me, your videos has helped with some concepts that I didn't fully understand while tinkering with AE2 off and on with mod packs. - Wireless, hasn't been something I've used but now want to. - Chunk loading with anchors, didn't know that was a thing - Toggle bus looks helpful - I had always used one net, including for the creation and destruction. Thank you for the recommendation to do this on a subnet - The farm was neat - The P2P I've used, it was a good refresher - OMG, making the components for AE2 is so much easier now, I had built so many contraptions in the past

[@Yilx]

This is amazing, thank you. Most modpacks tend to have a lack of real modern documentation or guides, and this helps with that a ton.

[@threeuniquefingers]

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the dark mode video format is new and UNDERRATEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD THANKS YOU MY EYES THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

[@kryolith3330]

Nice coverage of the basics of AE2! You should mention the Chandelier for autocrafting, it is the most efficient way to use a full dense cable worth of pattern providers (32) with maximum molecular assemblers attached for each. Another thing would be the limit of 8 channels in subnets can be circumvented by adding a controller to the subnet, this opens up the flexibility a lot and same rules apply for linking it to the main net with storage bus and interface.

[@hanifarroisimukhlis5989]

Some interesting tidbit i want to share/add: 1. Molecular Assemblers can do recipe for stonecutter and smithing table. 2. Think of formation plane as insert-only storage bus, and annihilation plane as import bus. It's weird, but that's just how it works. 3. Partitioned disk >> drawers! Each item count as 1 bit (8 bits = 1 byte), meaning a 256k disk can store ~2M items. (Caveat: 1 byte can store 8 identical items.) 4. Storage bus into ME interface to make subnets. Think of the storage bus "reading" ME interface's storage. Just don't abuse it too much or it'll lag heavily. 5. Molecular assembler can act as a crafter. Just insert the pattern into it. Probably very underrated feature, especially now it can do more than crafting table. 6. There's other use for energy cells. If you do spatial IO, energy cells are a must. 7. Co-processor is optional, so long as there's at least 1 crafting storage, it'll work. Highly recommend AE2 tutorial by The MindCrafters.

[@spok_real]

Drawers are hella cheap and store items in the billions though, taking one channel for the controller

[@TheIceLeopard]

A like just for dark mode. Thank you.

[@danlfrickinsullivan]

Chosen, This is unbelievable helpful. Thank you so much! I have always stayed away from AE2 because of how complicated it looks

[@kps393]

Imo the best and most useful way to understand subnets is to make an infinitely expandable drive setup. To do this on one of the cables from your main network place a storage bus, on the back of that place an ME interface, then a fluix cable coming off of that. This fluix cable wont be powered so you need to connect a quartz fiber to it and connect that to your main network, you can just connect it to the cable thats attached to the storage bus. Now you can add 6 ME drives and fill them with as many storage disks as you want and this will only take up 1 channel from your main network. To expand this infinitely, just do the same thing with the storage bus connected to an interface but on the cable connected to the ME drives and repeat. Remember though you can only use 8 channels in each of these subnets so 6 ME drives, interface, and 1 storage bus. Hope this helps.

I don't know what specifically is about autocrafting in AE2 or Logistics Pipes or Pretty Pipes is making me so, well _excited_, but I freaking love this feeling of the system figuring out how to use the materials and doing the whole chain by itself. I love automation.

[@Captain.Mystic]

One of my favorite mods, theres very few developers that can pick an aesthetic and theme for a mod and full send it to its logical extreme quite like Applied Energistics. Its kinda funny how meta "Physical Items As Data" is in context of how minecraft works while still feeling like its not breaking immersion. Note, while it may be recommended to have your recipes vertical in the pattern interface terminal for speed, for organization this is pretty annoying to deal with for relatively little return. if youre at a point where AE2 autocrafting at max speed becomes a priority to the point where acceleration cards wont cut it, then you are most likely going to be crafting them in large batches anyways. If your modpack allows it, use passive crafting(or multiple machines running parallel in a subnet) if responsiveness is something you are after, but most modpacks arent factorio, the limiting factor wont be your processing speed but the rate of how fast you are going to get materials, and concurrency at the AE/ME level wont really be a limiting factor unless youre playing something insane like gregtech(and even then, youre better off with a subnet). Although i am a little confused, did the pattern provider replace the ME Interface in the new update?

[@ThePsycho211]

AE2 is my absolute favorite mod of all time. I know people love refined storage because of how simple it is. Tbh i have actually never used refined storage because whenever its been in a pack for me, so has ae2 so i go with that lol. I love the complexity of what you can do with ae2. I played divine journey 2 last year which was my first expert pack, and i really expanded my ae2 knowledge from that. I had a massive controller cube in the center of my base, and had space for over 100 p2ps to connect around my base. Everything was color coordinated and it was super fun to use. Also it was my first time even knowing level emitters were a thing, but they are such a godsend for a pack like dj2 where you need to passively automate sooo many things. I love ae2

[@sebi9522]

Ive tried using the energy accepters the way he does at 9:30 with the same combustion generator from cyclic and it doesnt seem to work the same for me, no power will get transmitted via the accepter unless i use a energy cable from cyclic and connect it straight to my ME controller, would anyone know why? am i missing some kind of mod maybe that allows them to work together?

Thank you very much, this is super helpful! Definitely going to help make a storage I can keep track of.

[@elodkotro5936]

I came here with the scope of deciding between rf and ae2 in atm8/9. Correct me if I`m wrong, but it seems like both of these storage mods do basically the same thing. It`s comparable to the linux vs windows debate, ae2 being a more in-depth mod, giving you more control over the whole network, while rf is like windows, much more simple to understand and set up, sacrificing a little bit here and there, ( i don`t know how the speed of auto crafting and processing compares, but i don`t think there would be that much of a difference). So for super advanced and technical players ea2 is the go to, while for the little bit casual rf is the go to. I`ve always used rf and haven`t tried ea2 just yet, so my opinion might not be the best, so correct me if I misunderstood something. Btw, great video!

[@darkfog360]

One of my fav mods along side tinkers construct

[@spoopythescout]

Keep in mind that people also make mods for AE2 as well, for instance someone made a mod that adds a digital storage drive for Botania's Mana. While another person made a mod that adds a digital storage drive for Chemicals from the Mekanism mod. On top of that, there is a mod called AE2 things that adds deep storage drives that doesn't have the item type limit. Meaning you could very well have 1,024 swords of varying damage and enchantments levels. However I would still personally recommend against this, as storing large amounts of items with lots of NBT data in a single chunk can corrupt the chunk and cause damage to your world files.

[@MarijnRoorda]

You forgot thaumic energistics! Yes, thaumcraft is no longer updated, but it allowed for autocrafting through the use of wands and essentia! Probably the best pack to experience that would be the Crackpack 2.

[@hanifarroisimukhlis5989]

Isn't the deep storage disk stores it's data in separate file (kinda like RS)? Not that you should store that much NBT, but...

[@spoopythescout]

@@hanifarroisimukhlis5989I am unaware of how exactly RS and AE2 store items digitally as the raw files. However the ATM9 modpack has a quest telling people to store apotheosis gems and tools/armor inside normal chests and barrels to avoid having chunks corrupted, as do people discussing things on reddit.

Hi,just to know you can straight conect dense smart cable to anything,is conect as normal cable.

[@ManuelNagler]

You actually don't need Co-Processing Units for the Pattern Provider to use more than one Molecular Assembler. You only need the Crafting Storage. The Co-Processors are only used to parallize multi stage crafting chains like "to make a fence i need sticks and planks, i can make sticks and planks in parallel". This can use 3 Co-Processors. You could have three Pattern Provider for the three recipes with their own Molecular Assemblers. You can see the Co-Processors working when looking in your crafting status.

[@ChosenArchitect]

Example shown were straight out of the guidebook for the mod itself :D

[@ABaumstumpf]

@@ChosenArchitect from the mods own description: " These only help if your setup has steps properly separated so the system can run multiple tasks in parallel, or even split the same pattern across multiple interfaces." So you need to setup multiple of the same recipe for the co-processors to help, or have multi-stage recipes.

[@NikoTheTerrible]

Your tutorial gave me a bunch of helpful tips and insight, but ngl, I think AE2 is always gonna make my brain hurt no matter what xD.

[@draimomdpdr]

what version is this because my inscriber doesn't have any options along the left side and pattern providers dont interact with inscribers when placed under them. I'm using AE2 12.9.9

[@PixelReaper91]

I love how any new thing he explains starts with the phrase "now this is when it gets complicated" every single thing in this mod gets a little more complicated 😂

[@desertdwarf]

I appreciate the incredible amount of work that went into making this video, but I have a question. Does this guide include (a) information on how to acquire the basic materials needed to make the AE2 items and (b) the steps needed to make all of the intermediate items? From what I can tell, this is only about how to put together an entire AE2 system with all items already crafted. As someone that has never used AE2, I was hoping for something that would tell me what materials I need, where to get them, and what pieces I would have to craft to be able to get to the core of a storage system.

[@bigscreenproduction1462]

even for a veteran ae2 user this. i got some new thing i never knew from this. like that ae2 generator and the inscriber thing at the end. i still do it the old way.

[@Lionelius]

What mod do you use to see information of channels on the cable. Or any other information about block you look at?

[@problemchild959]

Just side note on the overflow destruction cards. I learned this the hard way in another pack. Make sure you ALWAYS partition the drive before adding one. If the drive is not partitioned and anything you add or craft hits that drive it will get deleted. Took me 2 hours of debugging an me system to figure out why every time I crafted an item it was not in the system.

[@ABaumstumpf]

With assemblers: Going vertically with the patterns helps a bit, but it does not prevent dependent recipes from sharing assemblers. In the worst case the recipe needs 4 crafts and they are in the 4 providers sharing the crafters. With this tower-design that might be as bad as the 4 recipes having "only" 6 assemblers. So if you go for high-volume crafting where you want large assembler-builds then you want to manually spread out the patterns to different towers as much as possible. for these 4 recipes that could be as much as a 4x speedup for the exact same machine-layout (worst-case 6, best-case 24 assemblers).

[@Gigachad37]

[@wolfsquared]

People that get confused about drives and types, think of them as chests with 1 extra row. Each slot holds one type. Some slots are stacks. So bigger drives are good for many items that stack. Several smaller drives are good for lots of unique items

I saw a comment elsewhere saying using nothing but smart cable on a very large network can cause fps lag, because they're always rendered. If true, this would also be a good reason to use covered cables and only use the smart ones in areas where you need to see how many channels are in use.

[@RuslanKovtun]

The subnet you describe at around 22:00 is not a subnet. It is a separate network that is being POWERED from the main network, it is not a sub of that network. To be a subnet it needs to be connected to and accessible from the main network (doable within AE2, but you didn't explain that in the subnet section)

[@Surr3alD3sign]

Ah yes the energy cell segment talking abt my greatest pain with this mod, the fuckin brownouts if you move too much stuff without having a cell or 2 set up. It took me weeks to figure out that little trick i always assumed the cells were nothing more than a novelty bc i hadnt really pushed my power grid hard enough to get brownouts in my AE system but yeah once i figured that one out the early game became MUCH less painful (im not joking yall get a power cell down super early and just let it fill up the first tier of them are basically dirt cheap and even just one will keep your power supply alive until you start getting into larger craft orders and shit like that

[@duckgaming5096]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I see you're using a combustion generator which I didn't find in my AE2 item tab. Are you using addons? And may I ask which version you're using for the mod, and which mod did you use to show the block info like "8 of 8 channels" as in the clip

For me, the best way to represent chanels are by imagining a cable from the machine to the controller inside the cables and that only 8 fit in normal cables and 32 in thick cables

Wow didn't know you could configure drives to work like drawers with void overflow

Question. In the auto crafting part where you hook up the 4 pattern provider / assembler pillars to the network, why can’t you just push them all together into one multi block structure and hook them up with a dense cable?
