For some reason even with dense cables coming directly off of a me controller, I can only get 8 channels and cannot figure out why, is there any known bug/conflict that would trigger this? Because I know they work just fine for other people :/
Dense cable -> glass cable -> item. You have to pull the channels off the dense, not direct attach. Also ME takes the shortest path back so make sure things are linking through something else.
I had it conected to the controler and used the fluix cables to my machines off the dense, still could not get over 8 channels with normal dense. But when I colored it, I did actually get more than 8. It was not connecting to other dense cables or anything, I had tested it with just having 8+ channels connected to the dense with a direct connection to the controller. But for some reason coloring it made a difference there when I did the exact same test so thank you.
I actually already changed up my system to work with just the colored cable, but I can change it back pretty quickly. you will just have to pretend the colored cables are normal since I dyedthem all haha[DOUBLEPOST=1469118566,1469117878][/DOUBLEPOST]Works just fine now though since I switched to blue~ Also I know it looks a bit weird with the fluix cable there but I have an on off switch to my system and needed it to work like that
ME doesn't take any path, the entire system is cached, it doesn't even know routes only what can access what.
In terms of determine channels when a device attaches. If you loop a connection on channel check it causes issues with multiple paths to controller and random choosing of cable. At least it use to last time I wortied about channels
If i was you id use different colours for different areas like, blue for autocrafting, Green for Inputs, yellow for outputs, that sort of thing
