AE2 Autocrafting Question

[darthvader2143]

Hello all, I'm playing SkyFactory 2.5 and I'm having trouble autocrafting using AE2. Specifically, I need help with crafting with the quartz cutting knife. When it's used in a recipe, it loses durability and then can't be used in the same recipe for some reason. I already have the pattern with a knife with full durability, so I'm wondering if there is a config issue I need to fix or some kind of workaround? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm not too familiar with AE2, but I believe there's a metadata setting somewhere. The cutting knife takes damage (and gets meta data), so turning it off should theoretically fix your issue.

I haven't checked on SF yet. But the last time I did a massive AE auto crafting setup you didn't need configure anything for it to ignore damage value. It just worked. That was my sort of wasteful way of handling the IC2 hammer and cutter. Skip the metal former faster and easier to waste the resources and just have AE use the tools instead.

As for options, there is a new one for ore dictionary now (added in rv3). It is an ingot button in the pattern terminal when you create the crating pattern.
