I have prepared these tips in two visual infographics.

In the second picture, there are AE conduits, so you can run AE cables in the same block as conduits. Though you still can't put buses/interfaces and so on in the same block.

Yeah, ME conduits are an option. I suppose they are somewhat expensive early on, requiring a comparable cost to smart cables needing one circuit per 4 cable, and later once those circuits are cheap, I would personally prefer to minimise conduit use where possible for FPS. It could certainly help in some compact designs though, using insulated redstone conduits and possibly a conduit switch also.

Yeah, I use ME cables (covered, non-smart for FPS) for most of the wiring; but in tight spaces I put a couple of conduits to intersect with item/fluid movement.

Not bad, muffler sharing. Good if you have pollution on and one of those advanced high tier mufflers too.

Yea, makes upgrading them easier/cheaper.

i have the vague recollection that me conduit tends to misbehave in some way... lag?

soft briar

Possibly if you spam them too much, not sure.

#

I don't know how much "work" do ME cables/conduits have to do, assuming you're not rebuilding the network all the time.

#

can't quite recall. it was probably during a discussion on a conduit related crash, and someone mentions me conduit being even worse and should be avoided as much as possible

#

though that's just "someone" whose name I cannot even remember, so don't take it too seriously

#

try remove me conduits first though if you ever run into weird issues with ME network or tps

#

Yea, I want to stay away from any performance talk because I really have no experience profiling things myself, and there is probably more misinformation floating around than actual data.

astral crown
#

yeah it's just a FYI

OOH, this is awesome actually, I like to use covers and try to make em match but didn't know this
