Platline: Difference between revisions

Line 531:

The platline is a perfect candidate for using a subnet for abstraction, simplification, and reducing the overall necessary size of your main AE network. A network with minimal storage that all platline related dusts are routed to by high-priority storage bus, and all platline outputs are routed away from back to the main network in the same way is common. Additionally, the various fluids can be easily handled with fluid p2p as it is many-to-many.

Due to the complexity of the platline and the 3D nature of Minecraft, it is easy for different players to engineer different setups that all fulfil the function of being a "Platline". These designs below serve as samples for how you too can engineer your own platline.

=== Two-Chunk Platline 1 ===

This design makes use extensively of wallsharing for both LCRs and EBFs to save on materials. Several LCRs also perform multitasking, exploiting several features of the platline. In this manner, the entirety of the Platline can be performed with in a total volume of 32x16x10 blocks (2 chunks surface area x 10 blocks vertical space).

=== Two-Chunk Platline 2 ===

This successor design also makes extensive use of wallsharing, as well as Processing Arrays to perform parallelized single-block processes. With the advent of full-dust recipes, the use of packagers for platline designs are no longer necessary. Again, non-annotated steps are done by single-block machines buried in the basement.
