Sath’s ME Core¶
This will be a Step-by-Step of the Controller I use in my builds, giving you a grand total of 21,504 Channels over 21 Dense Cables with 32 P2P Tunnels each
Requirements¶
Items required
- 228x ME Controller
- 672x P2P Tunnel
- 46x Wireless Connectors
- 380x ME Smart Cable
- 30x ME Dense Smart Cable
- Color Applicator (recommended)
- Personal Shrinking Device (recommended)
I highly recommend viewing the images in Gallery Mode to better see what changed between each step. Click on the first image and use the Arrows at the Edge of the screen
Base¶
You need around at least a 13x13 area to build this controller
Start with a smaller subnet controller
This can theoretically be placed anywhere, you don’t have to build it underneath the main core
Make it 3x3x3
Go up at least 3 Block and build this structure
Then build each of the corners as another, smaller 3x3x3 controller
In a + Shape build out a Controllers to connect the neighbouring corners
Repeat this for all 4 corners
Then on top of each of the corners go up in a + again
And now mirror the entire structure on top
P2P¶
Always make sure to color all cables and especially the wireless connectors to prevent anything from connecting
Are your cables/P2P Tunnels complaining about missing channels? This happens while they are unpowered, you can ignore this until the last step
Choose a side of the controller and build the following pattern with P2P Tunnels
Then add Smart Cables in these places
And Dense Cables here
Add a Wireless Connector here and then build this pattern of P2P Tunnels
Smart Cables again
And Dense Cables and the Wireless Connector
For the next side, you have to rotate the initial pattern 90 degrees
Then the same cables as before
Then the wireless connector
And now just the outer pattern again
Repeat this for every side of the controller
Edges¶
The edges are a tiny bit more complicated, so I’ve cut out one to better show you what you have to do
Add 4 P2P Tunnels on every side
Put a Wireless Connector in the middle
And fully surround it with P2P Tunnels
This is what it now looks like. We’re looking at this from the middle of the controller
This is the pattern you should build in the top corners
And this in the lower corners
Inside¶
The inside is fairly straight forward
Build a + Pattern again
An H Pattern in the middle
And another + Pattern
Subnet Controller¶
To now make use of all those channels you use the subnet controller underneath
Slap all those wireless connector on there and connect them to all the ones from the main controller. It doesn’t matter how you place them, as long as none of the ones next to each other have the same color
Power¶
To power everything, you have to supply power to the Subnet Controller. Afterwards just remove a 1 of the P2P Tunnels and replace it with a Quartz Fiber to power the main core
In the end it looks something like this. You can pull up to 21 Dense Cables from the Subnet Controller now
