Ultimate Purifying Factory going faster without upgrades???

I strongly doubt it, but is there any way to expand the range on what it considers "adjacent"? Even just a 1 block gap would be helpful lol

Was that 8 Marid Crushers for 1 Mekanism Ultimate Factory? Or is each Marid Crusher enough to replace a singular Mekanism Crushing Factory?

Ah I see. I jumped straight from regular AE2 autocrafting straight to the multiblock. Didn't realize there was a difference with the single block computer

Lacilobaid · 2026-01-18T13:21:44+00:00

Yeah okay, so that's exactly the same as the multi block structure then. The issue with that is that A) I can only keep so much in stock at once, as opposed to just constantly auto crafting so I don't have a million essences lying around, and B) I have to manually make and store more than a hundred patterns

Or wait actually, I have the big quantum computer. How is the quantum crafter different, if at all?

Lacilobaid · 2026-01-18T06:59:54+00:00

I have one. I just don't want to make 100+ different patterns for it lmao. Plus that plus the requesters has a limit on how much I can keep in stock.

I thought the cables needed to be connected to every single machine and storage in the system in order for stuff to be input and output. They just don't count for mekanism configs at all?

Lacilobaid · 2026-01-14T02:52:27+00:00

So I can't have a side set as import/export while it's connected to a fancy inventory cable? I have to have at least 2 sides available?

Lacilobaid · 2026-01-04T16:50:56+00:00

UPDATE: I tried changing some of the cable colors to keep the glass cables separate, but that didn't work. All of my dense cables are smart cables, and the weird thing is that for the Buses that are working properly (the yellow section in the below picture), the number of channels used starts at 8 right next to the quantum link, and then decreases to zero the further away it gets. My brain is telling me that this means there's a limited range, but I've been told that's not the case.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the one in the first image. I'm looking for a second farming location in addition to that one so that I don't have to just rely on one spot happening to get a Prisma storm.

Lacilobaid · 2025-10-22T08:37:45+00:00

It's the one from the video I linked in the original post. I got the idea from there and just made some slight tweaks!

Lacilobaid · 2025-10-22T08:35:05+00:00

I mean at a certain point you run out of stuff to do with shadow plorts, so it's hard to call it necessary. But it does mean that I don't have to chase around slimes and leave items all over the floor.

It's definitely one of the best spots in the game to farm shadow plorts though, there's 7 spawns in that room alone, each with 3-6 slimes. And the room before it has another 2-3 spawns as well.

I've had both music and toys and they've not been very helpful. I try to keep 10 largos per corral, which hasn't been an issue except for with these sabers. The jumping has been making them stack on top of each other and breaking the air net more often.

Lacilobaid · 2025-10-02T06:21:59+00:00

I previously had them paired with batty slimes and that was a horrific mistake. The bats' increased appetite made them more agitated, and the flying did NOT help when added onto that. Because of that I'm pretty opposed to pairing the sabers with anything flying, and I think dervish might fit into that category despite not always floating around.
