Applied Energistics 2 is a mass storage mod for Minecraft that offers the player a network-based storage system, allowing them to store items and fluids on a massively expandable device network.
This mod not only adds storage solutions, but also devices that can be used to manipulate items and blocks in the world and from within the system, such as importers, exporters, external storage using other mods and more! There are also devices in this mod that allow the player to setup auto-crafting, allowing the crafting of complex recipes in a few simple clicks.

[@Dust019]

This is really helpful to me as Vault Hunters 1.18 has just released, and I plan to use AE2 instead of Refined Storage just because of Applied Mekanistics 😅

[@dejazO0]

some things ain't applicable for 1.18 he showed for 1.19. In vh you won't find those budding blocks also meteor will have chest with one or two presses instead of all four 👍

[@Mondays3]

Things are slightly different in 1.18 as Deja said but later game mechanics and principles will still apply

[@KaiHenrych]

I didn’t know they’d updated the mod this much, but man, QOL changes are awesome! I absolutely love AE, and I’m so glad you’re doing a series on it!

[@Mondays3]

I like the quartz changes the most

[@darknite381]

Definitely a upgrade from the past design

[@vossboss7091]

Such a huge help and really well done and fluently explained. Can’t ask for any more 👏🏾

[@Mondays3]

Thank you, so glad this helped

[@I.m_glad_you.re_here]

Thank you! I’m looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@anthonymunoz8868]

This video has really inspired me to try out AE2! I am playing AOF6 and have been wanting to use AE2 and you just made that easier! TYSM!

[@Mondays3]

AE2 is definitely one of the more confusing mods out there. So glad this series is helping you though and pushing you to try new things!

[@_r-one_]

It’s really nice that you started a how to series on ae2 because I have a lot of trouble with this mod 😅

[@Mondays3]

I hope this helps!

[@katieourmatie8250]

Super clear and helpful, thanks a million!!

[@robertfergusson5367]

Been a while since I had learned how to do this originally, way back in 1.16. This video is very straight forward and easy to understand.

[@slappytheclown4]

This is the best guide I've found for this mod. You cover everything well and explain it very simply.

[@rapidfyre843]

Concisely informative! Very nice

[@Mondays3]

So glad this helped!

[@ochanoii4256]

thank you so much!!!!!! This video was so helpful and clear, I didn't get confused at all and learned a lot pretty fast!! SO well explained

[@Mondays3]

So happy to help

[@duckcatthequrugosk5504]

I've honestly always wanted to do the smart people mods, and this guide really helps :)

[@Kuwasski]

Ive only used refined storage and im forcing myself to learn this mod, thanks for all the help!

[@Mondays3]

Always happy to help! It's definitely a good one to learn

[@anaxy]

Thank you so much my man! I was struggling with this updated mechanics of quartz growth and you helped me a ton !

[@Mondays3]

So happy to help

[@aarter2913]

Even though the 1.20 version has a guide now, this explains a lot of stuff for starting out more clearly to me, really helpful!

[@carlosarango2646]

Please make the next part, you are the best.

[@Mondays3]

Lucky for you part 3 is out today!

[@clarkmeyer7211]

It's a cool mod. Seems like a bit of a hassle to start off with. I mean even if you know exactly what you're doing you firstly need to find space to set up and then acquire all your resources in such odd ways. I will say that it probably makes everything a lot easier later in though. The question for most players will be is it worth it. I'm already using rftools for my modular storage system but that definitely has a lot more limitation than this.

[@Mondays3]

AE2 is definitely superior late game. Most people transition from RFT to AE2 in modpacks later on

[@tam4655]

FINALLY! the best modd for you to do a tutorial on are ones that dont have a built in guidebook, thank you for ae2 tutorial

[@Mondays3]

I hope this helps

[@fudomyo-o]

What type of funrace is that that is powering the accellerator. Or are there cables that would work as well with Solor power

[@Ibrahim-ld9vz]

Id recomend if ur modpack has the easy villagers mod or if ur still early game to get the crystals trough villagers, the block is the charger to make them a fluix specialist

[@fikriarif1641]

hey, Monday Can i ask which mod do you use to see the tooltips when ur pointing at something

[@blacksalena0]

I'm guessing Jade or WTHIT mod

[@juleslab14]

You can use the cardboard box of mekanism to move a flawless budding certus quartz, this can be helpful if you want to farm certus

[@a.t.6432]

Just use silk touch

[@juleslab14]

@@a.t.6432 maybe it depends on the modpack, but if you use silk touch on flawless buds, they become flawed and can only be used indefinitely by breaking it and using ressources to repair it

[@spitfireGamesVR]

Why did this sound like a dating ad with your buttery smooth voice and the music? xD

[@anthonyrichmond272]

I’m so very confused I have my me system set up just like the basic one you have but my drives are getting no power no matter where I put it. Even right next to the powered vibration chamber

[@nixLuck]

is the mekanism add on for applied mekanistics 100% needed?

[@sirroderic4794]

Sorry for the late comment, but you're wrong at 4:26 , I have it placed at the side of my vibration chamber and its powering it just fine, not trying to be mean by the way, just wanted to let you know

[@fredrikengstroms]

When the crystals grow on the certus blocks with help from the crystal growth accelerator, the certus crystal block which might be damaged or flawless etc, for every grow tick, it gets ''downgraded''. For example from flawed to damaged. When it reaches ''Certus Quartz Block'' it wont grow any more crystals on it. Is it just like that and then I need to upgrade it again or how do I solve that problem?

[@Mondays3]

You do have to upgrade them continuously it get the budding to work. There are ways to automate it but most likely not with AE2 it's self. The best I can think is by using integrated dynamic to scan the NBT data of the block and when it reached "damaged" automatically break it and put it through a separate upgrading cycle. Then have some sort of void hopper only to detect pick up and sending forward and placing down the flawless again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHqnnHp9d7GWmac&ab_channel=direwolf20 This episode of one of direwolf20's series shows what I am talking about when using rock crystal growth from astral sorcery

[@fredrikengstroms]

@@Mondays3 Very heplfull response! Thank you so much and keep on doing theese videos. 😁

[@nightsoflilith]

why's it not letting me put the compass inside the charger....

[@Klungklung123]

whats the mod in the top left called that shows the block your looking at?

[@-gdv]

Jade, WTHIT There are many of them honestly

[@luoldiudiu]

im a a normal world with ae2 but my meteorite compass still turn infinitly pls help

[@randomperson8405]

Fuck I love this mod. I heard that it went through even more changes in 1.20 too. People who us RS don't know what they are missing.

[@deanybean]

How do you craft stuff from those blocks in the wall like that? Is it a part of AE2? Also, which mod do you use to search items in your crafting menu?

[@collectorkeebler280]

For the first question, i think he's just middle-clicking while in creative, to put the item in the inventory. Vanilla mechanics. Not sure about the second.

[@Mondays3]

I’m just middle clicking while in creative like collector Keebler said. And I’m using JEI

[@Mondays3]

Thanks for the help

[@Neon-bd6vk]

I've mined quite a few meteorites and I haven't found one with Certus Quartz inside. I've only found Fluix Blocks and sometimes chests. Am I just extremely unlucky or am I missing something?

[@JamesStansell]

That doesn't sound like the new 1.19 mechanics. What version do you have? Are you playing a modpack that might have made any changes?

[@Mondays3]

What version of AE2 are you using? Are you in 1.19? These are brand new mechanics and for privies versions you only find certus quartz through normal mining and caving

[@iamannocent2913]

yo what mod is that that says what are you looking at? and why you cant break the block?

[@Mondays3]

It’s called Jade

[@user-sq5yj9fx9h]

When I had a meteorite compass in a regular survival world, it kept spinning the same way it did in the super flat. Is that a glitch?

[@Mondays3]

When it spins like that it generally means you are standing right where a meteorite is, it could be buried underground (which is weird I know) but can happen. Try running far away and it should snap to the next closes one.

[@rt224]

Using a vibration chamber wont power the growth accelerators anymore

[@AckmardX]

The me chest already has a terminal built-in so you don't need an extra one. Edit: yeah I know it's old 😅

[@Mondays3]

Yeah I found that out after I posted it but thank you for the tip

[@littlewing6677]

Anybody know how to auto-feed the bottom slot of an inscriber?

[@huldu]

Not a fan of that slime piston change the creator did for whatever reason. I'm pretty sure that was not a thing back in 1.7(which is when I last played with the mod). It seems, like someone else pointed out, quite a hassle all of the sudden just to get started. I don't know maybe it's something you just get used to. I couldn't even find a slime chunk when I played a few hours ago.

[@blackeyedincubus]

Do I have to power the ME System with the Vibration Chamber?

[@PL45VYR]

You can send power to an Energy Acceptor if you have other energy production methods available!

[@malcolmanderson6735]

Does anyone know of a good AE2 series that is JUST AE2 - no add ons? It's feeling like even the simple ones go from 0 to 100 in less than 12 minutes.

[@Mondays3]

Almost everything in my tutorials are just the vanilla mod. Everything in this basic tutorial is just how the mod is. I only ever do addon stuff at the end of a section

[@MattWilsonVegasFan]

What music is that?! I need to know! It's so smooth.

[@Mondays3]

The song I use in the background is "Unofficial Cat - Victor Lundber"

[@MattWilsonVegasFan]

@@Mondays3 thank you!! And thanks for the great mod tutorials!

[@Mondays3]

[@coltonrhodes882]

Inscriber does not power when placed next to the Vibration Chamber in 1.20.1. No clue what to do and the wiki for the inscriber block is useless.

[@linkenparis9562]

you did not explain how certus crystals grow, just said it's like vanilla amethysts

[@Mondays3]

There is nothing to explain. The just grow on there own like vanilla amethysts. You can speed it up as I show but they do it by themselves just like wheat grows on it's own

[@davidgillespie259]

How do i power this? i burn through coal like there is no tomorrow, and the modpack im using doesnt have any other power mods in it.

[@Mondays3]

If you modpack doesn't have any other way of making power then burning items is the only way forward. I recommend using a tree farm so at least it is automated or use a nether lava lack to burn buckets of lava

[@davidgillespie259]

@@Mondays3 i have botania in the modpack, is there any way of integrating that to fuel AE?

[@Rajivrocks-Ltd.]

Bruh, I need to set this up so my friends and my quarry on our private server has something to put all the items. but dude, this looks so freaking tedious... x(

[@Mondays3]

It’s long but worth the time. Try refined storage if this is too much

[@g0ndal]

is this better than refine storage?

[@Mondays3]

Objectively from a late game stand point yes however things go a little over the top with AE. Refined storage is just as good for most packs if you only want basic automation

[@scribblord2970]

[@rjm2008]

I dislike this mod because idk why but when I had the system fully built and with a 256k ME storage cell it could only hold like 2 double chests worth of items, It seriously made me so mad that I quite the mod pack I was playing

[@Mondays3]

As the size of cells increase the amount of types decrease. Saying that however that is far too little and something must have been wrong there and not connected properly

[@RandooGaming]

real chads use refined storage

[@PL45VYR]

real chads chunkban themselves in the lategame for bigger modpacks

[@ViktorTheRook]

This shit is wrong, the recipe for the vibration chamber includes a fluix crystal... but to get a fluix crystal you need power which requires a fluix crystal to make the chamber... its a cycle how tf do we get the first fluix crystal if we need power to make one but making power requires one...

[@Mondays3]

You can make a charged certus quartz with a charger. You can power the charger with a hand crank. With the charged certus quarts, nether quarts and redstone dust thrown into water together makes a fluix crystal
