AE2 Crystal Science

## Overview **Applied Energistics: Crystal Science (AECS)** is an addon for Applied Energistics 2 that brings back the **Purified Crystal** concept and builds a full progression around it. With a production chain of **Dust → Seeds → Growth** and dedicated machines (Grindstone / Pulverizer / Growth Chamber / Aggregator), you can mass-produce purified crystals for mid-to-late game crafting and energy generation. On the other side, AECS adds stronger pattern execution and wireless channel solutions (Meteorite/Resonating Pattern Providers, Ender Emitter & Ender Broadcaster) to build more powerful automation. --- ## Features ### 1) Purified Crystal Progression *Dust → Seeds → Growth* ### 2) Crystal Tools *Ender / Meteorite / Resonating toolsets.* ### 3) Machine Side Configuration *Configure each face for input/output/bidirectional/disabled, and automate import/export behavior.* ### 4) Quartz Grindstone *Kickstart dust production with a simple, low-tech grinder.* ### 5) Crystal Pulverizer *Higher throughput crushing with automation-friendly IO and upgrades.* ### 6) Crystal Growth Chamber *Grow stacks of seeds in parallel—built for scaling and speed upgrades.* ### 7) Crystal Aggregator *A central machine for key recipes and high-efficiency seed scaling.* ### 8) Circuit Etcher *Simplifies processor crafting by consolidating steps into a dedicated machine.* ### 9) Meteorite Pattern Provider *Processes crafting patterns internally and provides 63 pattern slots for large-scale automation.* ### 10) Resonating Pattern System *Assign per-ingredient destinations/sides for advanced routing and complex factories.* ### 11) Ender Broadcaster *A wireless channel system that centralizes channel management and allocates channels on demand.* ### 12) Ender Emitter *Automatically links nearby ME devices to your network for cleaner wiring and reduced cabling.* --- ## Other Info ### Optional Mod Integrations Some purified crystal recipes are **only added when the corresponding mod is installed**.
