i have a decent size AE network setup just wondering is there any way to keep X ammount of items in the AE network with the autocrafter multiblock ?

One way I've found is to set up an export bus to craft it, control it with a level emitter, drop into chest, and then import bus it back into the system. Not very cheap/clean but I couldn't find a better way.

So like an automatic crafting table with an export and import buses would work? Then I could finally have a Fully automated breeder reactor beside having to make more thorium every 60 days or so.

my guess its with a fabricator so it can be set to only craft if theres a redstone signal btw if i set up a autocrafting for fertilizer and tell fermenter to keep stocked will it craft to keep it stock when its out on my network?

Yes you can with the BC gates to desects if run low then hook it up to fabricator and then goes from there to pull out the fertillizers and inputting the ingedints in a chest next to the fabircator.

so the autocrafting wont make more when the system detects when there isnt any left?

Yea that's the bummer you gotta make one for that with import, export buses, and also level emittors to auto craft with other things like fabricators or machines like pluzieners.

shame for now i crafted 512 of them and set up a storage monitor above the fermenter so i can see my stock level should solve problem of not noticeing ive run out

Just a little info, every fertillizer will last you 250 operations so things like sugar canes will make the fertillizer delepts rather quickly while saplings will make it so you get the most "miles" out of each fertillizer.

i have a SC tree farm so i got like 7k saplings so will prob last till i get the bees to change my boiler to fuel

Well just divide that by 250 and that'll tell you how much fertillizer the fermter will need to do all that.

You could use an auto crafting table but that's not what I meant.

The icon on the bottom-right of the export bus lets you set it to "Always craft items", then it'll constantly craft and export that item until it fills the inventory using the ME system to craft it. Then you have that just go into a chest. Then you put an import bus on the chest to pull them back in the system once they're crafted.

End result: Automatic crafting, about as much space wasted as using an auto crafting table but at least you can use the patterns from the ME system (Including the logic to do multiple crafts as needed to make the final item)

Cool was wondering about that icon so I could easily just set it to that and voila an auto crafting to supply the depleted isotopes to the reactor.. now just need an auto fuel input and I got a fully automated reactor breeder. I tried an export bus but it's does it too fast for the regulator to put in the 4 isotopes first.
