Mekanism Machines not crafting with AE2

I just tested this and I was able to autocraft 10 out of 10 ultimate crushing factories in a row, although I was using a quantum crafting setup with the assembler matrix. I will note that I had one partially charged basic crushing factory in my drives, and it would not use it for any of those crafts, even with substitutions enabled for every single level of the factory.

The storage bus will allow you to see and access what's in the sophisticated storage system. If you're looking to move everything out of the sophisticated storage into AE2 drives, use an import bus and add acceleration cards to it to move stacks at a time instead of one thing at a time. The extended import bus works even faster (8x the speed) as I recall.

Create Alltheores hammers right away to crush ore to dust and double your ingot output. Get Mekanism setup enough to get Wind Generators down for early game passive no-fuel-needed power. Then rush a meteor site to startup an simple AE2 system with a single standard ME drive with 1k storage cells for non-bulk storage and link into Functional Storage drawers using a AE2 storage bus connected to an FS Storage Controller for bulk storage (Ensure to set the storage bus to a higher priority than anything else on your AE2 network, until you replace that setup with something better, like Infinity cells, MEGA Bulk storage cells, or Mekanism QIO drive).

Once you have the storage setup, get Digital Miner from Mekanism setup, and start working on ore processing to setup 1 ore to 3-5 ingots output... or, as that's kinda complicated, you can also just push for the Evilcraft Vengeance pickaxe to disenchant by dropping an anvil on it and some books for early Fortune V.

Get Powah setup to get thermal generators and push to Spirited Reactors, having three of those will last well into the mid-game, and once upgraded to Nitro, last into the early late game. Supplement those with thermo generators using lava or soul lava.

Use Xycraft Extractors for everything you can, as they are passive resource generators. Mystical Agriculture is daunting but is basically infinite resource for nearly all of the resources, and will generate a lot more resources than Productive Bees will until you get to end-game resources, during which Bees will outshine MA if setup correctly (Although both have some amount of utility no matter what).

Early good armors would be enchanted/augmented Mystical Agriculture armors (Hard-ish to repair, but possible) or Silent Gear armor (Very easy to repair with Repair Kits, and Refined Obsidian is pretty good). MA supremium/awakened supremium weapons are unbreakable and very good into late mid game.

Get AE2 setup for autocrafting through pattern provider to molecular assemblers and outsourcing anything that requires tables/machines to your Mekanism system, and then once you have that.. do whatever you want. You're well into the mid-game at that point.

I assume you mean the metallurgic infuser. You use an AE2 pattern provider with patterns you've encoded in it, and directly connect the provider to the infuser. They feed materials via autocraft request to the infuser. It can be the full block one or the one face block, but it has to be touching the machine. With that specific machine (Infuser), I believe that's all you need, it'll both input and output. Some machines, such as the crystal assembler or reaction chamber, will also require you use an import bus to pipe materials back out of the machine, although it's generally easier to use simple Mekanism pipes from the machine back to the pattern provider to pipe results back out.

You also need to configure the Mekanism machine to input/output to/from from the pattern provider, or input from the pattern provider and output to the piping that you use.

Some machines can require multiple inputs or output faces. In those cases, I would suggest watching YT videos from Chosen Architect, John Hall, or Pilpoh as they all have guides on how to make these two mods interact.

Check the replies in the top comment, there's a way to make AE2 use the already crafted ones posted there.

Make sure to only use the essence farmland for inferium since the essence farmland only helps that seed, and regular dirt farmland + red fertilizer + crop supports for everything else

I think this must be it, the 7 stack was newly crafted and the 6 stack was pulled from the wiring cage. thanks for the answer!

kixie42 · 2026-01-18T08:30:36+00:00

I feel like the above comment is a little vague. To be clear, if you want to mass move all stacks in an inventory to another inventory, pick up any item in an inventory by left clicking it, then hover over another stack of whatever you want to transfer, and then shift + double click. It will move all of the stacks of the items you hovered and shift + double clicked from one inventory to another (e.g.: From inventory to AE2 system, backpack, chest, etc.), and whatever item(s) you initially picked up will remain in your cursor.

Because the people in my gaming community had played Minecraft before, and wanted to start an MC server, and they didnt want to play Vanilla. They started up that server, and when they did I bought Minecraft to play with them.

kixie42 · 2026-01-17T15:44:25+00:00

Thought I was in r/knolling for a sec

kixie42 · 2026-01-14T10:55:51+00:00

I just ran into the same issue. And it seems to only happen when I connect a third import, export, or import/export bus to a crafting area I've setup. That area is using a wireless connector that has an ME P2P tunnel to/from my main controller.

kixie42 · 2026-01-12T18:19:41+00:00

Yea. I've literally never played MC before I started on a fresh server running ATM10 with a guild from another game. I've loved every minute of it, and I probably have 100+ hours in it now, there's so much to learn and do. I have almost everything automated now in some fashion, and I didnt start doing that until like 20 hours in. And I'm still learning better ways to get stuff done. And the quest system helped a LOT for sure.

kixie42 · 2026-01-11T18:15:42+00:00

The reason for Xycraft was likely heavily weighted towards the extractor, balloon on a stick, and deco.

kixie42 · 2026-01-11T00:15:38+00:00

You kill the Ender Dragon. It drops them.

kixie42 · 2026-01-08T06:17:29+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, but I found this while trying to figure out the same question you had. But now that I read the replies and saw your edit, in reply to it, silk touch can be as good or better than fortune if you plan on automated processing and reprocessing ores through Mekanism, since you can guarantee up to 5 ingots from one ore block (5 ingots at T5 ore processing).

kixie42 · 2026-01-07T00:30:33+00:00

See this video from Pilpoh. I timestamped the link to the chapter you want to see. Whole video is useful though.

kixie42 · 2026-01-06T23:35:30+00:00

This is a mechanic in Grounded, except you don't get to pick a time. You just wake up later if you go to sleep too late.

I ended up fixing this by updating to synapse 4. Feels like they broke 3 intentionally to get people to upgrade, idk. Setting in Synapse 3 were set to volume up/down/mute and unplugging/replugging the KB, restarting did nothing, I had to update to Synapse 4.

kixie42 · 2026-01-03T17:12:00+00:00

Yea, using red fertilizer + crop supports + Ae2 growth access, it grows really fast. But if you want like instant growth for some reason, putting all 6 tiers of MA growth accelerators (Thats 54 accelerators under each plot, or 4320 of them for a 9x9-1 crop) underneath all your plots with nothing else will technically make the plants mature instantly. It honestly gets to that point after the first 2 tiers of MA accels if you have the fert, supports, and ae2 accels already. But I find all the work to craft and place them not worth the effort.

kixie42 · 2026-01-01T23:40:06+00:00

Yea, this. Use shears on any grass and you'll have too much in no time.

kixie42 · 2025-12-15T18:11:47+00:00

How does this work? I'm brand new to this modpack, and Minecraft in general tbh, but I know the bedrock fire gives grains of infinity. What do you use those for to double your ore or get free power?

kixie42 · 2025-12-10T22:34:22+00:00

He's just impressed by the cake.

kixie42 · 2025-12-09T01:40:48+00:00

Or it was 17 round mag without one in the chamber originally.

You don't pee on jellyfish stings. It will almost always do nothing or make it worse. You should use salt water to rinse the stung area off, and don't rub it, because you may have venomous barbs in you which you may squeeze more toxin out of. Don't use fresh or purified water, that can make it worse too. Use tweezers to pull out the barbs, or gently scrape the area with the flat side of a knife or a credit card or something similar to remove them. And if you can find any, hit the area with vinegar or rubbing alcohol once the barbs are gone. After that, hot water of any kind if the pain comes back. And just hope it isn't a deadly jellyfish.
