AE2 & storage
Start with a storage layout you can understand: separate incoming materials, processing buffers, finished mechanisms and equipment. Sophisticated Storage and Backpacks provide useful local inventories; AE2 connects those supplies to digital logistics and autocrafting.
Manufacture processors with Create
The Inscriber and Extended Inscriber are replaced by Sequenced Assembly. Each printed-part route applies the corresponding reusable die, then a Mechanical Press finishes the part.
| Starting material | Reusable Deployer tool | Printed result |
|---|---|---|
| Silicon | Silicon Press | Printed Silicon |
| Gold Ingot | Logic Processor Press | Printed Logic Circuit |
| Certus Quartz Crystal | Calculation Processor Press | Printed Calculation Circuit |
| Diamond | Engineering Processor Press | Printed Engineering Circuit |
| Entro Crystal | Concurrent Processor Press | Printed Concurrent Circuit |
For each finished processor, start with its printed circuit, deploy one Redstone, deploy one Printed Silicon, then Press. One pass gives one processor. Redstone is still consumed.
Copy an AE2 die with an Iron Block, the original die held in a Deployer, and a Press. Initial AE2 dies retain their meteorite acquisition. The Concurrent Press retains its ExtendedAE acquisition.
The Crystal Assembler remains for its other work; its construction uses Mechanical Crafters and the Calculation tier. Molecular Assemblers, the Assembler Matrix and ME autocrafting remain.
Build the network foundation
Craft a Calculation Machine from four Quartz Glass in the corners, four Calculation Mechanisms on the sides, and Certus Dust in the centre. One Machine stonecuts into one ME Controller.
Natural Certus, Entro and Amethyst budding remains enabled. Growth Accelerators and the Crystal Fixer are disabled, while native in-world growth and repair mechanics remain. A Growth Lens line offers another production route.
Seventeen Infinity Stone Cells
These use ExtendedAE's actual Infinity Cell inventory and energy behavior. Each provides its named resource inside an ME network.
| Tier | Resources | Storage component | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calculation | Cobblestone, Andesite, Diorite, Granite | 1k | Calculation |
| Reinforced | Veridium, Ochrum, Asurine, Crimsite, Scoria, Scorchia, Limestone | 4k | Reinforced |
| Industrial | Stone, Deepslate, Tuff, Calcite, Basalt, Blackstone | 16k | Industrial |
Each craft uses four samples, two Quartz Glass, an empty Cell Housing, the matching component and mechanism. Filled resource cells are not ingredients for higher cells. The native water cell is outside this stone-specific change.
Connected storage
Pretty Pipes modules use progressively more capable Create routing parts. Sophisticated upgrades retain their data-aware serializers; arbitrary filled backpacks are not substituted as generic crafting ingredients.
Linked Chest and Pouch construction consumes a native Light Engineering Block. Their wool colours and channel/binding behavior remain native.
