Ok let's get the facts straight here. MFEs CAN be made WITHOUT charging energy crystals. You can charge them in MV or HV Solar Arrays and Mk2 and Mk3 Charging Benches. You can charge them in MFEs and MFSUs. Top part of MFE and MFSU = Charging part. Bottom part = Discharge any EU filled things such as Lapotron Crystals, Energy Crystals, RE Batteries, etc.

Factory ideas for Energy Crystals - 2 Power flowers ( EMC collectors, anti matter relays, and an energy condenser) hook the energy condenser to a wooden transport pipe that's next to an engine ( Redstone, Steam, and Combustion but I recommend Steam or Redstone because Combustion engines can blow up therefore wrecking your whole factory and potentially losing everything within that area unless you are constantly monitoring them. The collectors and relays should be Mk3 because they generate faster thank Mk2 and Mk1 but Mk2 are good too, just slower. So 1 flower for Redstone and the other one for diamonds. Use transport pipes ( cobble transport pipe recommended because its super cheap and easy to make) and make them go towards each other but don't intersect them. Place a distribution pipe where the transport pipes would meet and right click it. A little GUI should show up with numbers and colors. Place an automatic crafting table ( the one with blue and white in the top) a Where the distribution pipe has a pipe sticking out that nothing's connected too. Now right click the pipe again and make all the colors 0 except for the color that leads to the automatic crafting table. Place a diamond in the middle and surround it with Redstone. DON'T CRAFT IT!!! Leave it as it is. Now you may have to place a wooden transport pipe with an engine next to it. Make transport pipes lead away from it and have it end with a chest ( might want to make it an alchemy chest) be aware that when its full that the crystals will have nowhere to go and go back to the auto craft table. You now have a factory.
