Question: is it possible to make the MAC in applied energistics to do fuzzy crafting across different items that are forge dictionary compatible?
I.e. For a recipe for wood -> planks, does it have to be that specific wood, or can you program it to use any type of wood?
I am pretty sure that a MAC uses the forge directory. I haven't tried wood but i do know it works well enough with metals. I am fairly sure it shoud work with wood but i cant garranty it.
However if it does work properly, the wood to planks recipi will still be tied to a certain type of wood i believe. I am pretty sure it works something like this.
You program to make a chest with oak planks, but there is only non oak available in your system, it will just happyly craft it with the other types of planks.
If there are no planks available it will try to craft them by using the wood to planks if it has a pattern saying that. Now here is the fuzzy part, im pretty sure that it will try to craft oak planks, and will only try to craft oak planks even if you have other types of wood available. Even if you have a pattern for say jungle wood to jungle planks, it will not use it because it is requesting oak planks.
In short. I am pretty sure a MAC will craft any item happyly with any forge directory item, but it wont craft the diffrend directory items, only those that are specified.
