Applied Extended Crafting

# Applied Extended Crafting **Applied Extended Crafting** is an addon that provides deep integration between **Applied Energistics 2 (AE2)** and **Extended Crafting**. Its goal is to allow AE2’s autocrafting system to fully handle the advanced crafting mechanics introduced by Extended Crafting. Currently, the mod implements **7 different Automation Assemblers**, covering all major crafting mechanics from Extended Crafting. --- ## Supported Automation Types | Category | Supported Content | |--------|----------------| | Four Crafting Table Automations | Basic Table, Advanced Table, Elite Table, Ultimate Table | | Three Special Crafting Automations | Ender Crafting, Flux Crafting, Combination Crafting | This means the **entire Extended Crafting production chain** can now be integrated into the **ME Network**, allowing large and complex recipes to be managed directly by AE2’s autocrafting system. --- # New Blocks Overview | Block Name | Crafting Type | Description | |-----------|---------------|-------------| | Basic Table Assembler | Basic Table Recipes | Automatically processes Basic Crafting Table recipes | | Advanced Table Assembler | Advanced Table Recipes | Automatically processes Advanced Crafting Table recipes | | Elite Table Assembler | Elite Table Recipes | Automatically processes Elite Crafting Table recipes | | Ultimate Table Assembler | Ultimate Table Recipes | Automatically processes Ultimate Crafting Table recipes | | Ender Crafter Assembler | Ender Crafter Recipes | Automatically processes Ender Crafter recipes | | Flux Crafter Assembler | Flux Crafter Recipes | Automatically processes Flux Crafter recipes | | Combination Core Assembler | Combination Crafting Recipes | Automatically processes Combination Crafting recipes | --- # General Usage | Step | Description | |-----|-------------| | 1 | Connect the assembler to your **AE2 ME Network** | | 2 | Create an **AE2 Processing Pattern** based on the original Extended Crafting recipe | | 3 | Insert the pattern into the correct type of assembler | | 4 | Ensure the assembler meets the **extra conditions required by that crafting type** | | 5 | You can now request the item directly from the ME Terminal like any normal AE2 autocrafting task | --- # How Each Assembler Works ## Crafting Table Assemblers (4 Tiers) Create a **Processing Pattern** that matches the original Extended Crafting table recipe and place it in the assembler with the corresponding tier. Requirements: - The **pattern inputs and outputs must match the original recipe** - The **assembler tier must match the recipe tier** --- ## Ender Crafter Assembler Create a **Processing Pattern** for the Ender Crafter recipe and place it inside the assembler. Requirements: - An **Ender Alternator** must be nearby - The **more Alternators present, the faster the crafting speed** --- ## Flux Crafter Assembler Create a **Processing Pattern** for the Flux Crafter recipe and insert it into the assembler. Requirements: - A **powered Flux Alternator** must be nearby - The assembler will **consume energy from the Alternator during crafting** --- ## Combination Core Assembler Create a **Processing Pattern** for the Combination Crafting recipe and insert it into the assembler. Requirements: - Place the required number of **Pedestal items** into the assembler interface - The assembler will automatically: - Detect the **central ingredient** - Detect the **surrounding ingredients** - Use **AE network energy** to complete the crafting process --- # Design Philosophy The goal of **Applied Extended Crafting** is to transform Extended Crafting from something that is *possible but difficult to automate* into something that can be **fully managed within the AE2 autocrafting system**. With this mod: - All **four crafting table tiers** - **Ender Crafting** - **Flux Crafting** - **Combination Crafting** can now be integrated into the **ME autocrafting network**. This allows players to build **centralized, scalable, and fully automated production systems** that extend AE2’s automation capabilities into the entire Extended Crafting ecosystem. If you want to push **AE2 automation** further into the world of **Extended Crafting**, this mod is built exactly for that purpose.
