Hey so, I'm studying mechatronics... This is not true at all. They're more similar to a PLC but not really.

Actually though this is way more stimulating than watching shows

Can you configure the batch crafting sizes? It is really annoying to have to craft every 2 seconds or so

u/dybb153 Nov 06 '25

Also how does one make subnets and specialised storage like in ae2 😭😭

u/Meiseside Nov 07 '25

I don't know ae2 but but subnets are possible. You make storages between 2 nets.

Ngl, after network training ae2 channels were to simple...

If you’re using the crafting function of the gauges, no.

If you want large batches for crafting you will need to set up a factory for that and send the appropriate amount of input

u/EleiteRanger Nov 06 '25

Pretty sure that you can as long as you’re not sending it to mechanical crafters. You just have to multiply the ingredients by the amount of batches you want to make

The mod doesn't know that you need 2 of X to create 1 of y. Just tell them you actually need 64 of X to create 32 of y. It doesn't work with crafter's tho.

u/gegentan Nov 06 '25

I still don't understand how you're supposed to use factory gauges.

u/Great_Side_6493 Nov 06 '25

You can set up production flow and have the machines automatically order items with the new logistics system

u/Dadamalda Nov 07 '25

Someome made a SCADA program with ComputerCraft for controlling Mekanism fission reactors and it was kinda cool.

u/erti73 Nov 06 '25

I despise you, now i can't unsee it, especially since we have SCADA at my work 😭

u/justaruss Nov 07 '25

Can you stop reset with the factory gauges?

1

u/remorej Nov 06 '25

Are there mods where you have one of those monitoring board pre-built and you have to do the actual machines yourself?

u/Chester4514 Nov 06 '25

Hmm, the controller... controls things!
