Hi, in case you don't know me I'm the Galacticraft developer these days, working alongside micdoodle8 who is semi-retired from modding.

In Galacticraft we offer a few 'sealed' cables and pipes from other mods, so that these can pass in and out of the walls of space bases which need to be sealed to retain a breathable atmosphere.

How these sealed blocks normally work is that the item and block is registered in Galacticraft (the block name is BlockEnclosed). When placed in the world it creates a TileEntity from another mod. For example TileCableBus.

We used to have this working with Applied Energistics around 2 years ago, but not recently and I thought it would be good to get it working again.

So currently the steps I am taking are:

• create a new TileCableBus
• create an ItemStack cableGlass from the block with name appliedenergistics2:tile.BlockCableBus and damage value 16 which should be a Fluix-colored ME Glass Cable
• call addPart(cableGlass, ForgeDirection.UNKNOWN, player)

This is not working. It actually causes the block to break. :(

So what are the minimum steps I need to take to create a functioning TileEntity here?

https://github.com/SleepyTrousers/EnderIO already have done this. Maybe you should learn how them done it? And if you really need that that functionality, try to not duplicate EnderIO's one, because of copy/pasting code is bad :)

maybe @yueh an idea
