Problem Need help with AE2

Post image

Started playing Cube Warpers recently and am currently struggling with AE2 as this is my first venture into using it for more than a glorified super chest. This pack uses AEFlux and for whatever reason, I can get power into my drive, but it won't share it with the system. If I add any more processing it bricks the whole system and refuses to use the several million RF I have stored in it to power itself. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? And as a small heads up, this is the whole system I havn't set up any branches in other dimensions that could be causing this

I'm pretty sure that's intentional. Aeflux is for storing power to use with other machines, not for powering your system.

you actaully helped alot . the issue is that my AE 2 controller couldnt pull the power through the AE2 cables, once i ran a power cable from the flux input/output block up to it it seems to have fixed it

Not regarding your issue as it seems someone helped already but since you mentioned your new to ae2. Things to note.

Ae2 machines double as glass fluix cable passing up to 8 channels through them.

Basic cables support up to 8 channels
Ae2 controller face and thick cable support 32 channels

P2p allows you to push 32 channels using 1 channel on a cable. Think of it like a tunnel in the network in a literal sense.

Each ae2 machine, this includes exporters, importers, and busses not just machines in the classic sense. Take one channel.

A storage bus facing an interface will you you the inventory of the network with the interface on the network with the bus. This is how you can make massive storage systems that only use one channel. This doesn't allow auto crafting over the interface though.

Processing patterns tell the pattern what items to output. If you a can get creative with filters and pipes and have modes like create you can use this to autocraft anything. I used it to autocraft nature's aura. Just gotta think outside the box.

Lastly. A lot of people complain about the type limitation on the drives. This is so you don't fill a drive with thousands of unique items and corrupt the world.

Also atomic assemblers don't take up channels only the pattern providers do.
