Decided Against Add Applied Energistics 2 to Civilization (please read before commenting!)

Mmh, personally, I believe the exact same thing. I much prefer other modded storage/automation setups, and aside from the mentioned LP/PR pipes systems, there are actually 2 more mass-storage systems in Civ last I checked (bar EZstorage), though they are both magic-oriented. Botania has the Corporea System which everyone seems to forget about, which has some incredible possibilities, and Automagy has the Requisition Tome, which does require a lot of researches and intricate setups, but allows for almost all of AE's perks, but fueled by golems instead.

The only major thing about AE that I believe caused it's fame, is the actual storage-method. Instant insert/removal, and if full, just add another cell in the drive next to you. All other systems require some more involvement (eg get a chest, connect the pipes, add the modules, double-check its connected etc).

 

My problem with AE is its Suuuper easy (don't get me wrong I'm just as guilty for using AE) but we really need to find a way to FORCE people to use these OLD but amazing mods

 

but mine and krhys idea behind civ is trying to use less popular mods(aka ez storage) and basicly ae is a automated lag machine

 

but every pack has ae and dont u get bored of using the same system everytime? ik i do we got ezstorage which is pretty good and less used

 

Get bored of AE2? Never, I live to kill servers with never ending auto crafting and damaged tools and armor in my me system!

 

^ perfect that is why we dont have ae u like the tps right? well no ae

 

Just to point out the thing of auto ore processing... LP is basically AE but it takes time to transfer the items all you need to do it setup a pipe connected to your furnace of choice and have a crafting card constantly supply it with all the ores...

 

the issue is that unless im wrong it still needs buildcraft

 

Yes, it is an addon, and is built upon (and extends) the BuildCraft pipe-logic. This does mean that it needs BuildCraft, or at least a (static) version of the BC-API.

 

well bc pipes are just lag machines so nope to logistics pipes

 

The thing is that the LP pipes don't have that BC pipes over flowing crap[DOUBLEPOST=1461338170][/DOUBLEPOST]They're a better version of Project Red Transportation

 

Almost each and every mod can be called "lag-machine". Even the most optimized block can lag out a server, if placed juuuuust right.

You could add both, and disable the bc-pipes themselves. Oh, and just to clarify, the only major issue I know that BC suffers from, is that it renders the items inside the pipes badly. Had they enforced opaque pipes or used a better rendering method, BC pipes would likely be classified as one of the best pipe-systems.

 

LP doesn't render the items in the pipes it "displays" them

 

i was more thinking about the whole oh theres no space in this chest lets dump it on the floor

 

No it will go back were it came from also when it wants to supply something say your supplying s chest with only 64 beef wellingtons and you take 3 out it will ONLY send 3 to fill the stack, it won't send anymore than that[DOUBLEPOST=1461339096][/DOUBLEPOST]Logistics are known for being smart

 

ye true

 

You can get this functionality with thermal dynamics retrievers if I remember correctly.

 

I highly recommend adding LP pipes it's far superior to PR transportation[DOUBLEPOST=1461342144][/DOUBLEPOST]And forcing people to learn it...
