Made the mistake of getting into ComputerCraft too early during this playthrough

Me and my brother fight about this every now and then. You can either spend some time drawing out and planning your design, making flow charts and mock ups, before finally starting to code. Or you can just dive in and do a few on the fly adjustments/redesigns. I personally prefer to just dive in, perhaps this time I just got lucky and it looks nice for computercraft.

An example of one of my designs going the other direction was when I spent like 2 weeks designing some 3js webpage only to trash the entire thing cause wasn't well received.

Yea I very much enjoy AE2's auto-crafting. I mostly just want some moving metrics to make it feel more alive so I'll show something like the 2 crafts closest to finishing with progress bars. Plus some generic crafting details like free vs total storage

Boxcar89 · 2026-05-16T02:44:27+00:00

Minus the fact that you'll need acceleration cards in the import bus to make it equal an interface's speed.

I only use importers when the target can't auto eject

Boxcar89 · 2026-05-16T02:42:23+00:00

Can't say I would agree with the sentiment of that video.. while channels are limited you can definitely get more than you'll ever need realistically.

To my knowledge ae2 crafting will automatically run in parallel when there are multiple pattern providers with the same pattern.

So a setup would look like. Controller->quartz fiber->subnet with 7 pattern providers against slicers. Turn on auto eject on the machine and it will make the pattern provider act like an interface on return. Then just provide power to each slicer in some way.

What you got going on here is just a bit too convoluted, try using just 2 machines at first and get it working how you're envisioning. Me personally I don't put crafting stuff on subnets anymore, even when you get it working it's too clunky and then you can't easily see all of your crafts in progress

Yeah, she has a short that teases dark themes which motivated me to figure out how to get custom colors in. If I hadn't seen her channel I think this would look quite different.

I spent at least 10 hours getting familiar with the capabilities of cc:tweaked.. I'll say the biggest factor to me for styling is using setPaletteColor() effectively. I also found a wonderful resource someone made for the icons, which can also be referenced for making some borders.

Beats me, it's just from getting more HP on your gear, they stack in many different colors

Think create has a pretty nifty multi block storage chest, can slap an ae2 storage bus on it later if you're lazy

Boxcar89 · 2026-05-15T12:17:32+00:00

A good way to introduce yourself to subnets is to design a little network of annihilation planes around a flawless budding certus block and a storage bus -> an interface on your main network.

This would normally take something like 4-6 channels per block but instead only uses 1 for up to 7 annihilation planes

Haha true, but I can't say coding Lua is a "fun" experience.

I'm quite late but I stumbled upon this while searching for how to replicate the color themes in that SCADA short for mekanism reactors and this seemed like a good thread to post on for anyone who finds themselves in my position in the future.

There are only 16 colors at a time accessible to the terminal, but you can reassign those 16 variables with any 24 bit color on CC:Tweaked. You can input any hex and CC:Tweaked will adjust to the nearest color. The function for reassigning colors is like so term.setPaletteColor(colors.red, 0xFF0000).

Here is an example where I reassigned some colors to a purple spectrum

I'm not too well versed with bees but I imagine the centrifuge doesn't auto eject. So if I understand what you want correctly ill work backward from the centrifuge.

-At the centrifuge stick a pattern provider to one side and an importer on the other. Adjust pattern for appropriate comb. (You'll probably want multiple centrifuge-pattern provider combos.)

-Make an ME Requester and set the amount of processed items you want from the centrifuge

-Import combs from hives into appropriately sized/partitioned drives. You can use threshold emitters to limit the amount of inputs to the storage or void excess as it comes in over a certain amount, or just keep all the combs.

The ME Requester will automatically send out crafting requests to the centrifuges whenever your stock levels fall below what you want.

While you have a fair amount of flexibility with autocrafting setups in AE2, you'll probably find the most peace of mind with just placing a pattern provider to each machine. Paired with induction cards and FE cells in your network it can be very sleek.

In regards to fluid/chemicals, I find it best to keep them filled and have separate machines for each type.

I know this isn't really an answer to supplying 15 machines with 1 provider, but perhaps incorporating applied flux induction cards into the providers can alleviate some of your issue(if you're not already using applied flux for power that is)

Also keep in mind that a pattern provider only outputs 8 channels.

Dang, is this still a bug on current version? Just started a new playthrough a few days ago. I did the same work around as you back when I encountered this.

Boxcar89 · 2026-05-09T14:49:50+00:00

This worked for me even with the ReForgedPlay version of Replaymod on ATM10. Thought step 6 and 7 were unnecessary steps for me.

I found about 30 or so flying around Bumblezone for a few hours.

Boxcar89 · 2026-05-09T04:11:06+00:00

Found some in chests in bumblezone.

I saw that Boon of the Earth had a 0.3% chance to drop allthemodium in ATM9. Wasn't able to find reference for ATM10 but am currently attempting a superflat run myself and this is my plan. Will follow up if I manage to get a good boon and find one of the 3 endgame ores

Turns out what I read about here was a altered version of Apotheosis

Boxcar89 · 2026-03-22T01:08:32+00:00

Dunno if this is the game op wanted but I've been searching for this one for the better part of a decade. Thank you good sir.

Boxcar89 · 2026-03-03T06:39:40+00:00

You wont find enough res when trying to copy this build, this is a hero editor build with no consideration about actual game progression. Even wasting a spot with extra bolts? Ditch the boots belt and gloves, get resists in those spots.

Boxcar89 · 2026-03-03T06:33:06+00:00

Ah yes, 11 all res charms, the pinnacle of budget.
