So recently i created an 8x8 M.A.C. Auto crafter and I was wondering if there was any possible way to automate the process of going into the M.A.C. and place my encoded patterns without doing anything manually. So lets say I were to put a random pattern into my me system I would like to have it automaticly go into my M.A.C. I've heard that it is possible but i'm not sure how to. Thanks for any replies!

I think it can be done with Ender Chests hooked to some pipes. Drop the recipes into an Ender Pouch hooked to that chest, and they should get automatically added.

This is just an idea, nothing I've tested, but wouldn't it be possible to use a export bus (probably fuzzy) to do the job? Set it to match any, or maybe close to any so that it doesnt take blank ones, and just specify a programmed one and wait for the magic? That way you wouldn't have to rely on enderchests, pipes and what not.

Yes, put a Fuzzy gate pointing straight at the side of the MAC, put any filled out patter in its filter(say the pattern for wood->sticks). It will then add any filled out patterns to the MAC, but it will not start putting blank ones into it.

I used this to great joy in my 1.5 world. At every access terminal I also had a pattern encoder so I could make patterns from anywhere. If you dump the pattern into the ME network from the ME access terminal, you will need to close the terminal and open it again for the new recipe to appear.

Plus it truly allows you to have a complete off location processing plant and all present at your home is 3-4 terminals, without you have to run down to the MAC all the time every time you have to make a new recipe.
