So, Just crafted my alkahest, I'm having difficulty getting any of the various autocraft options to work on the lower-tier ingredients, EX: a fabricator works just fine, but spider eyes wont, but consumes the eyes, I think this is because its trying to craft with them 1 at a time instead of the whole stack

Has anyone successfully automated this?
 
I'm quite sure turtles with a code designed for it could do... Lets assume it takes 32 gravel to make one redstone.

Something like: (put alkahestry in first slot, chest containing gravel in chest in front and output in top.

while true do
turtle.select(2)
turtle.suck()
if turtle.getitemcount() => 32 then
turtle.select(3)
turtle.craft()
turtle.dropUp()
end
else
sleep(2)
end
end[DOUBLEPOST=1368998423][/DOUBLEPOST]Dang, used spaces at the start of the lines, but the forum edited them out :/

I think it doesn't work...
the turtle will "consume" the alkahestry during the crafting, when the command finishes it will place the alkahestry on the selected slot, so it only craft once.
I made a test myself i was trying to make a seeker magazine generator using lapiz from the alkhest and itens from farms.
 
We've been thinking about this with DoctorOr a lot, we came up with the theory that it should be doable with AE, but have never went as far as to test the theory.
 
We never tested liquicrafters either.

There's the new TE autocrafter, but it onlly exists on 1.5.1+ and Xeno's doesn't (yet?)
