(Fabric) Techreborn machines can't auto-output or auto-input items into any AE2 blocks

[brenodantas10]

Describe the bug

Techreborn machines cannot output or input to ME interfaces or even the skyblock chest while it can auto-output or auto-input to any vanilla storage block. (although AE2 blocks can do both actions with Techreborn blocks)

To Reproduce

• Setup energy for a ME system and the Techreborn machine with a ME Interface (or Skyblock Chest) attached to it
• Configure an item into ME interface to pull from the ME network (if skyblock chest can jump this)
• Set the Techreborn machine to auto-input and auto-output from the attached side
• Watch it doing nothing.

Expected behavior

The machines should push and pull items into the AE2 block without any trouble

Additional context

Yes, I can use import/export bus and ask an auto craft normally with a ME Interface attached to any Techreborn machines, it's just the other way around that doesn't work. Also, Techreborn Issue#2221

While I can't speak to the chest, you are using the full block (not part) Interfaces for these tests, yes?

[brenodantas10]

yes, I'm speaking for the ME Interface as a block. but even using the ME Interface as a bus this occurs

[CygnusiaX1]

I have had the same problem with the ME Interface (block only, not bus) to export into. I ended up using a hopper as a go-between for the two. I had read somewhere else that apparently, AE2 doesn't register the interfaces as a proper inventory, and TechReborn won't output to it due to that. I have no issues with the bus version, as I wrap them around my TechReborn machines for inserting items.

You need buffer chests at the moment, a solution should be found during the 1.17 release cycle (no, AE2 isn't ported yet, and won't be before forge is released).
