About this Mod
GuideME
This project offers the foundation for your mods or modpacks guidebook. Based on the technology powering Applied Energistics 2s guidebook, it allows you to write your guide in simple Markdown, while embedding 3d scenes straight from structure files.
For players, guides based on GuideME offer:
- Smooth scrolling goodness
- Content being front and center, with an advanced text layout engine supporting reflow and inline elements
- Interactive 3D scenes with annotations, intuitively illustrating concepts from your mod
- Cross-linking between topics and quick information in link tooltips
- Showing inline-recipes in your guidebook "JEI-Style"
- Offers the ability to "hold G" to quickly jump to the relevant guidebook page in any item tooltip
For modders, it offers a rich extensibility API, allowing you to:
- Add custom inline or block tags to Markdown, backed by a custom Widget system
- Extend the recipe rendering to display your custom recipes in the guide
- Use custom Markdown front-matter to easily add arbitrary information to guidebook pages
- Use custom indices to quickly find pages based on custom attributes
- Allow resource packs or addons to add their own content to your guide

# Channels
Applied Energistics 2's [ME Networks](me-network-connections.md) require
Channels to support [devices](../ae2-mechanics/devices.md) which use networked storage, or other network
services. Think of channels like USB cables to all your devices. A computer only has so many USB ports and can only support
so many devices connected to it. Most machines, full-block devices, and standard cables can only pass through
up to 8 channels. You can think of full-block devices and standard cables as a bundle of 8 "channel wires". However, [dense cables](../items-blocks-machines/cables.md#dense-cable) can support up
to 32 channels. The only other devices capable of transmitting 32 are <ItemLink id="me_p2p_tunnel" />
and the [Quantum Network Bridge](../items-blocks-machines/quantum_bridge.md). Each time a device uses up a channel, imagine pulling off a usb "wire" from
the bundle, which obviously means that "wire" isn't available further down the line.

GuideME server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with GuideME – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if GuideME consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
