I've learned that the output and FE usage are directly related to the number of output hatches you have in the multiblock. If the FE usage is a fixed number, the machine is being bottlenecked by lack of output hatches. If it fluctuates, there's no bottleneck.

In the multiblock you can have at most 27 output hatches that you can connect with 3 machine chainers from the Extended Industrialization addon. That way you will prevent the bottleneck of not having room to output all of the resources it gets.

You can soul surge it, so why not?

Be sure to void the basic blocks because they output A LOT of them, especially cobblestone and netherrack. I did forget in the beginning, and some time after I had billions in my storage, BILLIONS.

Learning about the cell dock was so good. There are no more chests or such; the subnet setups are clean af now.

Some components have 2 to 4 arrays to solve bottleneck problems; most are wires and plates.

Still have to transition the multiblocks to arrays too.

Still using ender chests for outputs.

Soon there will be an exclusive ae network for outputs, and I'm planning a third network for passive inputs; the main net will be exclusive to providers.

SFM inputting from Ender Chest every 2t. Total of 30 chests by now. Will change to ae2 output subnet anyway, but it's still a very good and fast and easy way to input items into the ME system.

Thinking of switching to an entangled/scryed double oak netherite chest later when 26 slots fail to move all outputs from my farms. Don't know if it will be good or lag.

What a pain it is to set up one recipe per machine, but it's so satisfying to craft everything from MI almost instantly. The next step is to change to arrays.

P2P + Wireless Connectors are so cool with the ME Network Analyzer. Now I want to organize the connectors to make the lines look neat too
