ME Resonance Fabricator & ME Resonance Charger Automation

Automating Certus Bud replacement using Applied Energistics 2 Spatial I/O Ports and wire length decay.

Using simple redstone with MoreRed components ensures a reliable way to swap two different buds between MERF and MERC to keep fastest recipe timers.

Setup Requirements

• Two AE2 Spatial I/O Ports
• Two AE2 2³ Spatial Storage Cells
• MoreRed Red Alloy Cable of two different colours
• MoreRed NOT Gate, AND Gate, Pulse Gate
• Bundled Cable Relay Plate or Bundled Cable
• Machine Controller Cover
• Any Two Robot Arms
• Some Item Pipes
• Three Repeaters
• Redstone Torch

Logic Breakdown

1. Main Reactor Signal (BLUE)

• Uses wire length signal decay to trigger the NOT gate when quality drops below the threshold.
• Chipped or above: 2 blocks of redstone dust.
• Flawed or above: 3 blocks of redstone dust.
• Flawless or above: 4 blocks of redstone dust.
• Exquisite: 5 blocks of redstone dust.

Note: Using standard Comparator subtraction for Certus Block detection can result in infinite swap loops because 1 - 1 <= 0. Replaces subtraction logic with Red Alloy Cable signal decay and a NOT gate resolves this issue.

2. Reserve / Charger Signal (WHITE)

• Connects from the secondary port through an AND gate interlock to ensure the spent bud is only swapped when a fully recharged bud is ready, apply same logic for redstone dust length as BLUE wire does.

3. Double Pulse With Delay Generator

• Adding a Pulse Generator with two different repeater intervals ensures the IO port activates two times to pick up and put down the certus bud block.

Note: Have both certus quartz buds placed before powering the redstone circuitry.

4. Spatial Cell Rotation

To rotate the Spatial Storage Cells between ports:

• Run two separate item pipe lines.
• Extract from the bottom of Port A and insert into the top of Port B.
• Extract from the bottom of Port B and insert into the top of Port A.
• Use Robot Arms on Insert mode to pipe.
