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

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
