How to: Applied Energistics 2 | Getting Items IN & OUT (Minecraft 1.19.2)

Welcome to the Applied Energistics Mod!
This mod is all about digital storage and is much more complicated to it's counter part Refined Storage.

Today is going to be a lot of information as we are talking about channels. Not only that however, but also how to use each type of cable to manipulate channels to power and send data as you like. What comes with this is how to get items in and out of your system as well as accessing storage that is directly part of your ME system.

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.

I've been playing in and around modded minecraft for at least 10 years. You're one of the best guide makers I've seen. Great work

[Arthamus]

This is the easiest to understand most comprehensive walkthrough on this mod on YouTube! Thank you so much!

[waveclaw]

Excellent pacing and clarity, better than any AE 2 'project' I've seen on a streamer's play-through.

At 16:33 on the Storage Bus, it might be useful to note that while the filter mode behaves exactly like the import/export buses from 10:25 on, the import and export buses actively push and pull items through the system.

A Storage Bus only interacts with the attached storage when an action involves items it has in stock or can deposit. The action drives the moving. Like all interfaces, the priority picks that Bus if higher for pushing and if lower for pulling. It might be helpful to mention that both are counted as distance from the AE 2 network controller.

The Storage Bus filter system means that even at this level of understanding, your AE2 system can do very complex things. You can drive LaserIO or ElementalCraft's linear pipe or Botania's crafty crate to run single-item-count, shaped and ordered crafting recipes. The last being insanely hard to automate outside of Integrated Dynamics. (e.g., Hexerie seed food, Hexerie washing or ElementalCraft advanced materials.)

Sadly, if you are playing with AE 2 on a modpack that includes Refined Storage, a similar digital storage mod based on AE 1, there is no easy way to exchange items between them. Unlike the annihilation/formation planes trick does for exchanging items between AE 2 systems as shown at the end of the video (at 25:41) all methods are quite slow.

Although if you are going RS-to-AE2, you can setup an annihilation plane 'pit' and stand in it while dropping things from the RS remote grid. Be sure to detach any external storage before doing such a thing. You don't want to manually drop a whole fully-upgraded Functional Drawer of cobblestone with upwards of 2.4 billion blocks. Even if you have a keyboard macro setup to drop items that will take hours when you hit that item.

Have been really wanting to get into AE over RS for something new but it's really intimidating to begin clean. Really appreciate the clear and concise videos. New sub here.

[OminousSpirit.]

I am fully onboard with you man! From mekanism guides to this, but damn I have to rewatch this because these lessons are alot to take in! Good work nevertheless mate! Thank you for reviewing this, I hope you do a create mod tutorial one day!!

[zzac]

9:00 You can place cable anchors between a cable and a block by right clicking on the side of the block / cable.

[szpoti]

Your tutorials should be behind the paywall! Cheers, mate!

[noahrm]

Thank you for the step by step guides I personally needed them

[sbritton]

Thank goodness for channels like yours, there are some mod packs that leave out the guidebook for some of these mods expecting the person to already know it... I just started getting into mod packs and was playing a mod that had me2 storage... But I just couldn't figure out how to make it work properly...

[Pocapka]

Also why does the AE2 setup in the thumbnail look kinda like symbol from the nice mustache guy?

[SolstaceWinters]

One day... one day I'll build a base that runs itself. I've been trying for what feels like centuries to do the AE thing to make a base that just runs itself, but either burnout, life, or distraction always gets the better of me.
Trying to get back into the mod. Thanks for reminding me of what a Storage Bus is. My base is currently like 90% Storage Drawers, and while I'm using yer videos to upgrade to AE right now, I'm thinking of leaving a few around for "bulk" items like dirt and cobble.

[revivedgrain]

Hey there thanks for such a plain English explanation of this mod, it's the best I've seen! I'll be using this knowledge in my next video... I'd love to see a comparison video of AE2 vs RS, which one do you use in your modded worlds? Cheers, RevivedGrain (new sub)

[cloudzero]

I really hope more tech mods upgrade to 1.19.3 soon because I'm starving for them right now lol

[jimj]

Very useful content and nice presentation. Thanks!

[basedx.]

My man is trying to reroute inventories of the Third Reich

[thangxio]

at 5:00 what energy u using to power it?

[Error-BG]

They just have to combine RS and AE2 and they will make good looking mod.

[chrisg]

I know the rf tools storage scanner can’t pull items directly out of a storage controller. The ae2 external storage can though, correct?

[pattyboytommy]

so is it possible to filter more than 9 items on the export bus?? i need a filter over 30 items

[BigMike]

Dude you have great videos but what is that horn that plays between scenes lol
