what would be more powerful? a zetachrome sword, forged from the matter of the early universe, waiting for billions of years for technology to become advanced enough to extract and shape this material into weapons of absolute unparalleled sharpness and durability, able to slice through any man-made material in existence . . . . or a tarnished copper hand axe.

Its the hand axe, of course, reducing the targets AV 75% of the time you hit (no pen required) and when you crit. berserk gives 100% de-limbing on a penetration, so that combined with the AV reducing properties of axes is incredibly strong, especially with multiple axes, letting you stack even more cleaves on the opponent.

With long blades you can . . . give yourself either +3 DV, + three to hit, or +2 AP, at the cost of -3 to hit. these options just kind of suck, they dont scale at all with stats or levels, so the longer you go on the less meaningful they become. swords get +pen on crit, which sounds nice, but getting extra pen on hit it way, WAY worse than reducing the targets AV on hit, stacking (you dont even need to crit lol, it happens 75% of the time no matter what)

this is long enough, but cudgels are also insanely strong, 50% base daze on hit, and a second daze is a stun, letting you just bonk an opponent over and over

so yeh are swords just garbage?

whenever I use a side tablet button, if the pen is close enough to the tablet to be detected, it acts like I am spamming the button very quickly. reinstalling my drivers has not worked, help would be appreceated

Other than the fact that it has a few machines that do things that other machines cant, it seems both optional and useless. Quantum armor seems cool, but Meka-armor also makes you functionally invincible. MI also seems really really tedious, even its simplest components require machines that do things +only+ MI can do, even though other mods should be able to do them. like you cant use a MEK crusher on MI ores, you have to use a slow macerator. it seems very tedious for nothing

The connector is charged, but the wire wont move the FE

It seems really cool, but the fact that you need to assemble a huge frame for it if you want a mini space and you will need to set up a second ME controller setup just to activate it makes it seem really clunky. not to mention theirs no easy way to enter/leave the dimension without setting up some form of teleportation first . . . It feels like it has a lot of missed potential

I am trying to maintain a stockpile of a few hundred infused alloy available at all times, so it wont slow down crafting operations when they need but. I have the setup shown in the AE2 guide titled "interace autostocking", but when the interface requests the items, it makes more and more requests untill every avalable crafting CPU is in use. is there any way to solve this?
