Edit: I should add, I understand the fun of using subnetworks for organizational purposes. That's cool. Put all the patterns in the interface. So those outer controllers are indeed necessary since you want to transmit 32 channels (each connected to a a p2p tunnel carrying up to 32 channels itself). I'm aware of that. The only complaint I have are the much too complicated ways to craft things and get materials. The only time you'll have to burn though channels then is for AE2's crippled autocrafting (which I still find to be annoying as all hell). Now its working to the maximum potential it has. P2P tunnels will support the number of channels running into them. A Controller can provide up to 32 channels per facing if dense cable is used. With an advanced AE2 setup, you almost certainly have an ME network going all over your base already, so rather than also running power cables all over your base you could use.
