Super Compact Inscriber Processor Auto-Crafting Setup - Applied Energistics 2 Tutorial

[@therealtkh]

A super compact way to build a full "all processor" auto-crafting Inscriber setup with Applied Energistics 2! Edit: For 1.17 and forward, check video description for more info!

[@avalarr1849]

For some reason, all mine does is put redstone in the top inscriber, and that's it. :/ This is my setup: puu.sh/HJ1Xx/82602777ad.png puu.sh/HJ1Yj/65085ecba9.png

[@devinnoel8859]

Hey I'm new to modded I built that system but I don't know how to order the processor's in the me sysytem

[@therealtkh]

@@devinnoel8859 Hey! Check the updated video(s) I have on this build, it might be more clear to see step by step how to make patterns and order. Also, you did not provide any info of what version or modpack you play. Make sure that other auto-crafting is in order and works (so that crafting CPU is running and all that).

[@devinnoel8859]

The version of minecraft I'm playing on is 1.12.2 I don't know if that helps I don't have the auto crafting computer is that something I need to make before that system will work?

[@therealtkh]

@@devinnoel8859 Yes, you need crafting CPU (crafting storage) in your network for any auto-crafting to work. Note that I have placed my cpu:s just behind, but in a "normal" network you might have them in other places. I have made lots of AE2 videos (check the playlist), covering both auto-crafting, large controllers and large networks. I suggest starting small, and maybe try things in creative to make sure the fundamentals are working before stepping up.

Thank you! Mine finally worked. At first the Inscribers didn't show it had power. It must be a glitch or something but the bus' and other machines were online and had power but the inscriber didn't show it. The Storage bus was online so I just continued on. I also I didn't know that on the pattern terminal you can change the crafting to processing by clicking the little crafting table tab. The inscribers still show 0 energy but everything works! Thanks for your design!

[@olivergro7105]

I basically have the same thing but it doesn't work. It processes the circuits and doesn't give them out

[@fennecfox3140]

Okay so for anyone wondering why your crafting cpu says "missing X circuits". It's because the pattern he has encoded in this video is the raw material not the circuit. This is because processing patterns work like so: "Send X items to (wherever you have the patterns stored, in this case ME interface)" and wait for output of Y. Swap out the circuits for the raw materials to make the circuits and you'll be good to go.

[@fennecfox3140]

The same goes for silicon, make sure its RAW MATERIAL silicon in the pattern, not printed silicon. Basically just rewatch his pattern encoding part and follow it without any implied knowledge or foreward thinking, take it at face value lol.

[@therealtkh]

Correct :) I got many questions about it because I guess most didn't watch, remember or understand the pattern part seen at around 5:10 .

[@zalert8662]

in AE2 1.18.2, you need to set your me storage buses to 'insert only' AND 'filter on insertion only' or else the circuits won't get transferred to the top inscriber.

[@eugenewong81998]

i have no idea why is that but it works, can you try to explain to me?

[@eugenewong81998]

wait is it because it will only extract the filtered item if you set it to bi directional?

[@therealtkh]

In my 1.18.1 pack (AE2 version 10.0.1) it works fine with Storage Bus set to "Filter on Insertion Only" and both "Insert Only" and "Bi-Directional" works fine with that. I would expect this setting to NOT work with "Insert Only" as it would disable circuits to be extracted. I wonder if there's something weird at play here... Need to investigate this further and maybe talk to devs about it. Thanks for getting back with results!

[@FlaminChicken231]

okay i figured it out but im not deleting my comment incase anyone else is confused. to do this, when you are in the pattern grid terminal, you have to click the little workbench icon on the right side of the gui to switch it to its processing pattern mode, then you have to put not only the ingredients into the grid, but also what the item is youre tryign to make into the 1x3 grid. then you can click encode pattern and youll get what you need

There are several things that could be wrong, a common is incorrect items in the export filter to the top inscriber. Could be a misplaced cable making some device offline. Hard to guess without screenshots or lots of more information, but it's propably just small error in the build, check other comments as well!

It's very cool! Thank you very much for this tutorial!

[@marazDNG]

Not sure if this will not be lost in the comments but for those that play version 1.19.2 with the blue ME interface block and yellow ME pattern provider it is important to understand how ME interface and provider works. Provider will push the required items to machines/chests that are right next to it. ME interface works pretty much like a chest with import bus. I was stuck for hours with this.

[@Seegras]

This is great. I also got it working on the latest AE2 as seen in All of Fabric 4. I had to replace the initial interface with a pattern provider, and export the end result to a different interface on the interconnecting bus. It's a bit bulkier.

[@therealtkh]

Hey and thanks for sharing your result :) I just downloaded the AOF4 pack and built this myself and can confirm the change to a Pattern Provider, but it's actually equal with the build in this video as you can export items into the Pattern Provider just as I do in the video to an Interface! They seem to behave a bit differently in how they store (buffer) items but in the end the build is pretty much the same and equal in size :)

nice quick guide !

[@daakii]

Hi, thanks for the great tutorial! Can you explain why two Interfaces are needed? I understand that without it, it wouldnt work. But I want to understand the logic behind this. Is it to keep the two networks separated? Thank you!

[@therealtkh]

I first need to say that this build has been updated with later releases of the mod. Nowadays a Pattern Provider is used instead of the first Interface. But you are right, the two networks are completely separated. The first Interface holds the patterns which means that the network will send all items through this Interface when auto-crafting is initiated. The receiver of the items is that second (flat) Interface. In an updated build I have exchanged the receiver interface with a chest which means that the first Interface (Pattern Provider) will put all items in the chest and then import them to the network with an Import Bus in a more controlled way. For some reason it works better sometimes, but that's only needed in the 1.19 versions (at the time of writing this).

[@daakii]

@@therealtkh very nice, thank you. This makes much more sense now with the chest example!

[@JonelKingas]

5:05 this part is not working for me :\ how do i make these patters i made patter interface and put in the items but nothing it dosent give me the recipe

Middle mouse button takes you directly to crafting, even if you have items in stock. If it's empty, left click works the same.

[@thelastengineer8633]

did the recipe change? and u dont used pattern right? because ur pattern for the end product is with gold but didnt i need the printed varinat in it because that is what i need to use for the last step?

[@therealtkh]

The main network don't care about what the pattern looks like, as long as items are sent and correct item comes back. The middle steps (printed silicon/circuits) are handled within the subnet and the main network never need to know about that. The "recipe" for the processor is still the same. Feel free to watch the updated video where I explain that a bit more in detail.

@@thelastengineer8633 The main difference between old and new versions is the Pattern Provider replacing the Interface.

When I go to craft the logic processor it shows that I'm missing the printed logic circuit. It does the same for the other processors and their circuits. I can't figure out how to fix it. It's not trying to make the logic circuits, it's trying to only take them from storage

[@therealtkh]

It sounds like your pattern is wrong. Your system should never know or care about printed circuit or silicon. The middle step is handled outside the system. The only thing we do is sending gold ingot + silicon + redstone and get a logic processor back.

Hey TKH, I tried replicating this in 1.18 so I used a pattern provider, but my printed logic circuit stays in its inscribed after it’s made, what am I doing wrong?

[@therealtkh]

They have updated some filter setting for the storage bus so you need to filter on insertion only or add the printed part in the storage bus filter. There's also something fishy with how auto-crafting works now because it will only make one at a time... solved by adding a chest to receive items. I really should cover all this in a new video!

@@therealtkh Same issue, the printed ones on the bottom are not getting pulled, and are staying in the inscribers.

[@therealtkh]

@@crete2880 I have prepared a new video for this build in 1.18.2 where it works perfectly. It will be out within 2-3 days. If you can't wait then do what I said above: The three storage buses (bottom) should have only one item in the filter, but change setting to "filter on insertion only", that will give export bus access to the item.

Hello! I have a lot of troubles understanding what's going on in this build, I know how AE2 works in general but when there's quartz fiber in play I'm lost. I have a few questions, I know it's been a year that this video is out but it'd be amazing if you could answer me ! 1: How can you have more than 8 channels on this setup ? I see you're using a quartz fiber to hook up two inscribers with a storage bus and an import bus. 2: Why would you use 2 ME Interfaces ? I've seen an answer you gave to someone else in the comments but for some reasons I still don't get it. I know it has to do with the fact that the first Interface is pushing the items into the second one, which could (maybe?) be replaced with a chest and it'd be the same thing (I think ?) but does it has to do with like the number of channels ? And also, why would you need a quartz fiber on top of those Interfaces ? Maybe I just don't know how distributing power through the network works, since all the tutorials I've seen were just like "oh yea quartz fiber transfers power" but no examples. I really hope I can get an answer because I can't seem to find them anywhere else, or maybe I'm just too dumb to understand what's going on lmao. (Also, I'm playing on FTB Infinity 1.7.10 Modpack) Thank you however if you decide to help me with this, it'd be a great help.

[@therealtkh]

Hi! First I need to say that there is an updated build for newer versions of the mod. Make sure to check it out! Also, I have a playlist with 50+ more tutorials and builds for AE2 in the video description. 1. I am separating the networks so the small network (with inscribers) is a standalone network and completely separated thanks to quartz fiber - it will transfer power but keep the networks separated. A very important part of AE2!!! For a "main network" you might have much more than 8 channels but then you probably have an controller to handle all the channels. 2. You said it. They are facing each other but are in different networks - only to put and receive items. And as you can see in the updated build I use a chest there instead - works better in some versions for reasons I don't understand. I have covered the quartz fiber block in an old video and it's a part of fundamental AE2. Hope this helps, otherwise jump on to Discord to discuss it further!

[@harcroniumex1213]

The advanced inscriber works a bit differently, and can be made more compact. I have made at least two videos on advanced inscriber, but make sure to check the version. Maybe the old (incomplete) mod was AE2 stuff, and the new is AE2 things, or was it the other way around? I suggest testing in creative to make a build that works after looking at my specific videos on that block :)

[@rawrishkevin]

I followed exactly step by step but sometimes I end up with two silicon prints at the top inscriber, instead of 1 calculation print, or logic and engineering. Does anyone know why that is?

[@therealtkh]

What modpack or game version etc? In what slot will the second go? And it's vanilla AE2 Inscriber? I haven't experienced this though, and even if I only place silicon in the network, the printed silicon will stay in its Inscriber and wait for the bottom slot in the top Inscriber to be avaliable. It has no other place to go so I don't know why that would happen to your build.

[@jacoblock9901]

My crafting monitor says it’s still crafting the engineering circuit and printed silicon, but it’s sitting in the top inscriber already. It was crafted. But then it doesn’t send the redstone and the system is sitting there waiting for it…

It sounds like your pattern recipe is incorrect and for the rest I can only guess but I don't know anything about your build or what version you're playing on. I suggest watching my latest update on this build (for 1.18) where I also go through the build a bit slower and in greater detail.

1.19 Here. Everything seems to be working except my logic circuit wont go up to my final circuit making inscriber. Everything else does but that one does not...

[@xephar]

this is my problem too has anyone found a solution?

[@rumalmeow]

I built this in my SkyFactory 2.4 world, and it worked fine at first (after I fixed some of my own errors.) However, I recently added acceleration cards to make everything faster, but it keeps putting printed silicon into the inscriber that makes the printed silicon. The import bus doesn't remove it either, because it's not in the square on the right, so it just sits there and prevents more silicon from being made. I suspect that the acceleration cards have something to do with this, because this only started happening after I added them. Is this the result of the cards? If so, which ones do I remove?

[@therealtkh]

It sounds like you forgot to put a quartz fiber to separate the "mini network" to extract silicon (otherwise it wouldn't go back to the same inscriber). And possible wrong filter in the storage bus... I have stacked full acceleration cards in every inscriber and have no problems. Also, as I interpret your problem it wouldn't be because of acc. cards.

[@rumalmeow]

@@therealtkh If you're referring to the quartz fiber placed at 5:50, then I did indeed place that one. I haven't found any other errors, in the storage buses or otherwise. I agree that acceleration cards being the problem makes no sense, but the issue only happens if the cards are in play.

[@therealtkh]

@@rumalmeow It sounds really weird and I would really like to take a look at the build myself, even though I'm not involved in development in any way. Not sure of what game/mode version it means but I usually do my builds in "vanilla AE2" so I know for sure I have no modpack changes to behavior or incompatibility... Could be an idea to try the build in creative in a basic pack with almost no mods and see that it works there to see if it's a pack problem.

You make the pattern yourself, the thing with processing patterns is that YOU specify the output. It means you have to manually craft one processor to be able to finish the recipe.

Hi TKH, thanks for the video. The latest version now includes Pattern Providers that need to be used instead of the ME interface (ME interfaces no longer work as before). Does this design work with the pattern providers? Thanks in advance

[@therealtkh]

Yes it does. I have done a video on the Pattern Provider and have tested this setup. In new versions of the mod you might need to change filtering settings in storage bus to every inscriber but that's the only real change.

[@alesaccoalf]

so I am currently trying to make this work with the new ae2 in 1.18 and this won't just work, I also watched your recent video about the pattern provider, but it still won't work

[@therealtkh]

I was able to get it to work in 1.18, I know the mod is still in early release and beta in some packs but it seems like you might need to change filter settings on storage bus. Only filter on insert but I don't know how you built so it's only a wild guess.

[@jayhh2540]

mine says no crafting cpu's available when i try and make anything

[@therealtkh]

It sounds like your crafting CPU(s) are either missing, not connected properly or perhaps has no channels.

[@BubblegumDog_]

So I couldn't get this to work in either Enigmatica 2 Expert nor Meatballcraft. I think I ended up making my own design for E2E. For Meatballcraft I copied this and realized that in the storage buses where you put the diamond, gold and pure certus quartz, you need to put the corresponding circuits in the storage buses as well. (E.g one Inscribers storage bus will have gold and the logic circuit which is its corresponding circuit) There must be a difference between this AE and the version I'm playing with since the storage buses in this video clearly allows the circuits to travel through the buses. But it defintely doesn't work in the version I'm playing. As soon as you've configured the storage bus it appears it will ONLY do anything with those items, whereas it looks like in this video it will still give other stuff away through the storage bus.

[@TomasMisura]

This is good tutorial but you have forgotten to mention important thing meaning patterns how to create processor(s). The receipts working using this setup are different from original. Instead of using printed silicon needs to be used just regular one otherwise it does not work

That's correct. I didn't go through that part in detail... the processing pattern should only contain "base material". The printed "middle step" will only be within the small network.

Doesn’t seem to work at all in 1.18.2. All the products stay in their inscribers, and even with export buses trying to push them elsewhere, the storage bus does not (will not?) pull them out of the inscriber inventory. Still has the issue even with all storage buses set to “filter on insert only”.

Hey, newbie here! I followed your guide to the letter, but it isn't working. I checked, and we both have the same version. Everything works perfectly, except that the Printed Calculation Circuit is never pulled out of the interface to be made into Calculation Processors. I have no idea what's wrong. Update: Narrowed down some things. If there are Printed Calculation Circuits inside the network, it will put them into the interface but NOT into the inscriber. If there AREN'T Printed Circuits, it will craft them and put them into the inscriber, but will NOT put the redstone or printed silicon into the inscriber or interface.

[@therealtkh]

Not sure I follow but it almost sounds like a problem with the patterns in the main network (it's the most common mistake). How do they look?

[@fluffylillian]

@@therealtkh the same as yours. I replaced every pattern twice over, and both calculation recipes. I took apart the thing so I could rebuild it from scratch. Sorry if I made it sound confusing, I'll try and simplify: If there are calculation circuits inside the me system, it will take one of those and put it in the flat interface and leave it there, and put the redstone and printed silicon into the inscriber. I'm not sure why, since I had the export bus configured to take all circuits and put it into the inscriber. But on the flip side, without any calculation circuits, it will take the pure certus quartz, make a calculation circuit, then put it into the inscriber but without even interacting with the redstone or silicon. Those last two bits just never appear anywhere in that system. Every other recipe works perfectly.

[@fluffylillian]

Update: THANK YOU for bringing my attention to the patterns. Turns out I set the encoded pattern to make the processors with printed circuits instead of certus quartz. I changed that and it works like a charm.

[@therealtkh]

@@fluffylillian Ah, good to hear that! As I said, it's the most common mistake to make because we all know the pattern for processors has the circuits, but we don't need to care about that because the main system is only interested in what parts we send and what we get back. What happens in the other network is not relevant as long as it works :)

Anyway, the thing is that you can't make an order of a fluid. It has to be an item for the pattern to accept it. However, I have done such a build with "cans of fluid". That works great.
