Simple autocrafting

[JuliCash]

I have a question, i need an autocrafting solution for making frames for my alvearies.
In former days i used fabricators, but since there are not availible anymore

i have read something, that you can use the me-interface without any other machine for this purpose, but i didnt get completely.

edit: i dont need any lvl-emitter-things, it should be running forever

A liquid crafter from MFR will work for that. It doesn't use power but you need to supply a redstone pulse each time you want it to craft. It's simpler than an ME system.

Adding to this, if you want a simple and compact "one pulse a second" redstone device, the Redstone Clock block from Extra Utils fits this role perfectly.

I use the Buildcraft auto workbench to build my alveary frames. Requires no power, requires no tricky pattern setup, no redstone clock etc.,. It's as simple as you can get.

It's slow, but 1 of these *easily* keeps eight(8) of my alveraries supplied with 6 Impregnated frames each. I'm sure a single one of these could support way more than that.

The Impregnated sticks, however, require more power/throughput. A carpenter is required for those.

For your ME-interface problem, I don't think it would really work for your solution but I'll explain how to set-up an ME interface anyhow

I shall assume that you know how to load up a molecular assembly chamber and make patterns for that.

The idea of an ME interface is that it uses something external to the ME network to craft a particular thing for you. An easy example of this is you make a pattern for iron ore -> iron ingot and place it in the interface (Only the interface, putting the recipe in the molecular assembly chamber will have unintended side effects for patterns like this). If the interface is next to a furnace on the furnaces input side, you will be able to craft iron ingots on demand as long as you draw them back into the network.

Putting the recipe into the ME interface will tell it that you can export the starting item to whatever you can around you, and then in time you will get the output back inside the ME network.

A more complex example of this is crafting tesseracts on demand, most recipes are in the molecular assembly chamber, but the filling of the tesseract uses the liquid transposer to do this, so using the ME interface in this way you're able to completely automate the situation.

For recipes that are just crafted in a crafting grid, that you want a consistent amount of, you can point a precision export bus at an interface, set it to always craft, and then control it with a level emitter to get the amount that you want in the system.

Good advice, yes. Sample setup might be ME Level Emitter pointed at ME Precision Export Bus in craft mode, which is in turn pointed at a vanilla chest. The same chest has an ME Precision Import Bus attached to it, which imports it into your AE system.

However, if you already are using an Ender Chest with an ME Precision Import Bus as your "dump into AE system" solution, you can use another Ender Chest with the same color pattern to export into.

Those extra chests are too much effort. Just have your Precision Export Bus pointed at an ME Interface. It'll craft directly into the ME system the amount that is desired.
