What is the issue / bug you have encountered? Give us a short description.
Currently AE2 and IE don't integrate very well apart from basic item/fluid inventory interactions. IC makes it look much prettier and more consistent with its IE-style fluix wires, but that obviously doesn't solve all issues. The main problems I'm having are:
-
The Excavator is IE's endgame solution to the grind for resources, but it doesn't include any AE2 stuff (namely Certus and Nether Quartz, of which you will need a lot in the late game). It would be nice to be able to find Certus Quartz Veins in the Overworld and Nether Quartz Veins in the Nether. Maybe even a Skystone Vein for good measure, although it's mainly decorative in purpose and not needed that much otherwise.
-
The Crusher only adds some automatic recipes which aren't really useful IMHO. Without other mods, there's no fully automatic way of grinding Certus Crystals to dust.
The current Crusher recipes (as seen by JEI) are:
- Nether Quartz Ore → 3 Nether Quartz + 0.15 Sulfur
- Block of Quartz → 4 Nether Quartz
- Nether Quartz → Nether Quartz Dust
- Certus Quartz Ore (charged or uncharged) → 2 Certus Quartz Dust
The last one would need to be made consistent (i.e. Ore → 3 Crystals), as well as the missing ones added (Block → 4 Crystals, Crystal → Dust). On top of that, recipes for Skystone → Skystone Dust and Enderpearl → Ender Dust need to be added. I'm not sure about Wheat → Flour, as the industrial-grade Crusher doesn't look like something I'd want to process my food with (and also it's not really an AE2-specific recipe in the first place, albeit being added by it).
I realize this may be somewhat out of scope for a mod called "Immersive Cables", but please let me know what you think anyways.
