I heard this works with Logistics Pipes!

You can put a request pipe next to an interface to let ME see your LP setup, or you can put a provider pipe next to an interface to let LP see your ME storage. If you're sinking items into your storage, use an ItemSink Module instead of a basic pipe; this will allow LP to stop inserting properly if the network is full.

Does this mod require any other mods to work?

Technically, no. It will function stand-alone. However I have worked with the APIs of other mods, and with some other moders to help improve integration, plus this mod covers mostly very high-tech level items, so it would be kinda silly to use it by itself.

In short: "I suggest playing Applied Energistics with other mods!"

Is this supposed to replace BC Pipes/RP2 Tubes/Logistics Pipes?

No. It is designed to work with them via interfaces and provide alternate storage / crafting and is not intended to replace any other mod, or its functionality. In fact AE has Bi-Directional Support with Logistics Pipes for sharing storage.

How fast are items crafted?

This is a difficult question to answer. Lower End Assembler chambers can be slow when crafting complicated items. However simple items can be crafted rather quickly. If your assembly chamber contains a decent number of CPU's it can become much faster. However, if you rely on external processing in furnaces or other machines, this can slow things down considerably.

AE Is currently not open souce, please don't ask about why, or if it will be, I may eventually feel like opening it up but for now its not.

I'm a mod author how can I get AE to move my tiles with spatial storage?

As long as your tiles don't mind being moved just call,

FMLInterModComms.sendMessage( "AppliedEnergistics", "movabletile", "appeng.common.AppEngTile" );

Where the third argument is the class, or base class of the tile entity.

if your mod requires special code to accept movement, then it can use the API to better support them.

Feature _____ Doesn't work; It crashes, or Ahh my game exploded!

If you've tried everything you can think of, and you something is behaving oddly or crashing your game, the best way to send me bug reports is IRC.

PLEASE attempt to read your crash reports and resolve Item / Block conflicts on your own. I'll attempt to fix any bugs / issues I can based on the crash reports or other feedback.
