Advancedae FAQ

Craft Quantum Alloy from its ingredients and press it into plates, then use those to build the Quantum Computer Core and Accelerator. From there you can expand into the larger quantum storage blocks and the advanced pattern provider line.

You need a Quantum Computer Core, Quantum Computer Accelerators, and the quantum storage blocks you want to use, all placed as a multiblock. The core is the center and accelerators stack around it to increase capacity and speed.

The 128M and 256M Quantum Computer Storage blocks hold far more than standard AE2 drives and are part of the Quantum Computer multiblock rather than standalone cells. You access them through the computer's core once it's assembled.

Combine the required base metals and the Printed Quantum Circuit in the appropriate crafting step to produce Quantum Alloy, then press it into plates for most recipes. The Inscriber Quantum Press is used for the circuit printing step.

It's a larger, more capable version of AE2's pattern provider that pushes crafting patterns to adjacent machines. The Capacity Upgrade increases how many patterns it can hold, and the Advanced Pattern Encoder lets you write processing patterns for it.

Place the upgrade into the pattern provider's upgrade slot to raise its pattern capacity. You can stack multiple upgrades if the provider supports it, but check the tooltip for the current limit.

They're split into automation cards (Auto Stock, Auto Feeding, Pick Craft, Portable Workbench), combat cards (Attack Speed, HP Buffer, Evasion, Luck), and utility cards (Flight, Night Vision, Magnet, Lava Immunity, Jump Height, Camo, Flight Drift). Most go into Quantum Armor or into supported machines.

Equip the Quantum Boots or Quantum Chestplate and open the armor's upgrade interface, then place the cards into the available slots. Each piece has its own slot set, so you'll need to install cards separately on boots and chestplate.

Check that the pattern is encoded correctly, the provider is adjacent to the target machine, and the machine has power and inputs. Also confirm the provider has enough channels and that the pattern's output isn't already stocked.

The ME Advanced IO Bus, ME Import Export Bus, and ME Stock Export Bus move items between your ME network and adjacent inventories, with the stock variant keeping a target count. The ME Throughput Monitor reports how many items are moving through a point per tick.

Yes, AdvancedAE is an addon to AE2, so its blocks and items plug into existing ME networks and channels. You'll need AE2 installed alongside it, and the quantum storage and pattern providers behave as network devices.

It generally coexists with other AE2 addons since it uses standard AE2 channels and interfaces, but overlapping features like alternative pattern providers can cause confusion. If something misbehaves, test with only AdvancedAE and AE2 loaded first.

AdvancedAE is an Applied Energistics 2 addon that adds utilities and quality of life improvements for your ME System. It focuses on convenience when handling automation, crafting, and storage.

It adds advanced pattern providers, a Quantum Computer multiblock, a Quantum Crafter, a Quantum Armor set, a Reaction Chamber, new IO buses, and an ME Throughput Monitor. It also registers many items and blocks such as quantum alloy, quantum processors, and various upgrade cards.

The mod lists Minecraft versions 1.20.1, 1.21.1, and 26.1.2.

AdvancedAE supports Forge and NeoForge.

Yes, AdvancedAE is an AE2 addon, so it is meant to be used alongside Applied Energistics 2.

The Quantum Computer is a special crafting unit that can run unlimited crafting tasks as long as it has enough crafting storage, and all tasks share the co-processors in the multiblock. The Quantum Core works standalone with 256M storage and 8 co-processors, and can be built into a multiblock up to 5x5x5 that uses a single channel.

The Quantum Crafter is a fast auto-crafter that can perform multiple crafting operations every tick while accessing the ME System's inventory directly. It supports recursive crafting and recipes that use a non-consumed ingredient, and can be configured to keep ingredient stacks or limit the end product.

The Quantum Armor set connects to your ME System and powers abilities like flight, night vision, an item magnet, and auto-feeding, while also protecting you from different types of damage. It includes a helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots.

The ME Throughput Monitor is a screen that tracks how many items, fluids, or how much energy is moving through your system per tick, second, or minute. Right-click it twice with a container holding the right ingredient to track a fluid or energy, and use the Throughput Monitor Configurator to cycle the time scale.

Advanced Pattern Providers let you choose which side of a machine receives specific ingredients, so you need fewer pipes. You modify Processing Patterns with an Advanced Pattern Encoder to select the face each input is sent to.
