Discover a new Cable guide for Applied Energistics 2 Wiki. Cables of different colors can be used to ensure that adjacent cables do not connect to each other, allowing channels to be distributed more efficiently.
While ME networks are also created by contiguous ME-capable machines, this is the primary way to extend ME networks over larger areas.
Glass Cable
- Fluix ME glass cable is the simplest to build, transmit power and up to 8 channels. It comes in 17 colors, Fluix is the default and can be dyed any color using any of the 16 dyes.
- To make colored cables surrounding any dye with 8 cables of the same type (the color of the cables does not matter, but they must be of the same type, glass, smart, etc.). You can also paint the cables with any forge compatible paintbrush in the world.
- You can craft any colored cable with a bucket of water to remove the dye.
- You can craft a Fluix ME Smart Cable and wrap it with wool to create a Fluix ME Sheathed Cable, to better understand what’s going on with your Channel.
Covered Cable
The covered cable variant, however, offers no gaming benefits over its Fluix ME Glass Cable counterpart. However, it can be used as an alternative aesthetic option if you prefer a covered look.
Can be colored the same as Fluix ME Glass Cable. Four Fluix ME Shielded Cables can be crafted with redstone and glowstone to create Fluix ME Dense Shielded Cables.
Dense cable
Higher capacity cable can carry 32 channels unlike standard cable which can only carry 8 channels however it does not support bus so you must first switch from thick cable to smaller cable (such as Cable Fluix ME glass or Fluix ME Smart Cable) before using the bus or control panel. The load display is similar to the Fluix ME Smart Cable, with each light line representing the four channels in use.
Smart cable
While they share some similarities with the Fluix ME Covered Cable, they provide accurate diagnostics by visualizing channel usage on the cable, channels appearing as bright colored lines running along a black stripe on cable helps you understand the status of your channels. being used on your network. The first four channels show up as lines that match the color of the cable, the next four show up as white lines.
They can also be colored in the same way as the Fluix ME Glass Cable.
Bus switch
- A bus is functionally similar to a Fluix ME Glass Cable or other cables, but it allows its connection state to be toggled via redstone. This allows you to cut off part of the ME Network.
- When a redstone signal is supplied to the connection trigger, the ME Inverted Toggle Bus provides the opposite behavior by disabling the alternate connection.
- There is also an inverted version of the switch bus that disables the connection when a redstone signal is supplied.
Cable is one of the features available on Applied Energistics 2 Mod
