Video description

In this episode of 'Turtle Programs' a turtle helps us with growing crystals in an ME system of Applied Energistics 2. The turtle manages all three typs of pure crystals (certus, nether, fluix) and the regular (none pure) fluix crystal. Hope this helps you to set up your ME system. Enjoy! :) Updated 2015-02-27: Sleep time default is now 20 sec.

What it does

This turtle program automates crystal growth for an Applied Energistics 2 (AE2) ME system. It manages pure certus quartz, pure nether quartz, pure fluix, and regular fluix crystals.

Setup

Requirements: A fueled turtle integrated with an AE2 system (e.g., via ME interfaces or cables). Ensure you have AE2 seeds and growth accelerators set up as shown in the video.
Installation: In your turtle, run pastebin get stXEtJ6C aAESeeds to download the program.

Usage

Place the turtle in your AE2 crystal growth setup. Run the program with aAESeeds to start automating crystal management. The default sleep time between checks is 20 seconds (updated in 2015).

Tips

For an introduction to AE2, check the linked video by direwolf20. Adjust sleep time if needed for your setup—see the video for details on configuration and integration.
