Time Bus

TimeBus

Time Bus is an Applied Energistics 2 addon for Minecraft 1.12.2 (CleanroomLoader V1.0.11 support forge) built around time manipulation: accelerate blocks and AE2 machines, produce and store the special Time Fluid, and wield the Time Wand for on-demand acceleration.

Features

⏱ Time Bus (ME cable part)

• Accelerates a row of blocks in front of the bus — scheduled block updates, tile entities, and random ticks
• Accelerates AE2 grid machines too: Charger, Inscriber, Molecular Assembler, Vibration Chamber, IO Port
• Speed cards (up to 4): ×2 / ×4 / ×8 / ×16 / ×32 acceleration multipliers
• Capacity cards (up to 3): extends the acceleration range to 1 / 3 / 9 / 15 blocks
• Redstone control (high / low / pulse) and fuzzy mode support
• Two fuel modes:
  • AE power (default): draws energy from the ME network
  • Fluid mode: consumes any fluid from the network (the bundled time_fluid works out of the box)
• Performance-safe work budget (default 128 calls per server tick) — fully upgraded buses never spike the tick
• GUI shows live speed, range, power draw, and budget usage

💧 Time Fluid

• A new fluid that can be stored and extracted through the ME network
• Emits full light (light level 15)
• Touching it grants Speed III + Haste III for 10 seconds

🪄 Time Wand

• An AE-powered 512-byte fluid storage cell that holds only Time Fluid
• Shift + right-click a block: one acceleration burst (consumes 10 mB of Time Fluid + 1000 AE)
• Shift + right-click an ME Import/Export Bus: batch transfer (runs the bus’s work 16 times per click by default)
• Works as a regular fluid container with tanks and fluid terminals

⚙️ Time Fluid Generator

• A Matter-Condenser-style block that converts Matter Balls or Singularities into Time Fluid
• Progress is retained across mode switches and even storage-component removal
• Insert an AE2 storage component (1k / 4k / 16k…) to set the fluid buffer size
• Fill or empty it by clicking the tank with any fluid container (bucket, portable fluid cell, …)
• No AE power cost — pure material conversion

🔧 Debug Wand

• Right-click to spawn a Time Fluid source block — handy for testing

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.12.2
• CleanroomLoader
• AE2 Extended Life (AE2 UEL) — required dependency

Notes

• Works on both client and server (server-side logic, client-side GUI and particles)
