1.
ME Pattern Encoding Terminal: put the recipe into the ghost fields (nothing is consumed), insert a
Blank Pattern, "Encode".
2. Put the pattern into a
ME Pattern Provider. Crafting patterns: a
Molecular Assembler next to it. Processing patterns: a machine next to it, results come back through an interface.
Required materials
3. Crafting CPU: a solid box of
Crafting Unit,
storages (bytes),
co-processors (parallel) and
monitors.
4. In the terminal, request craftables with shift+right or Q (left-click at 0 or in "craftable only" view) → amount → plan (bytes, missing parts in red) → start. Started jobs are pinned at the top. Status (progress, time, all CPUs) + cancel via the network status button.
Edit a pattern: put an encoded pattern into the output slot of the pattern terminal → it loads, "Encode" overwrites it.
The
Molecular Assembler needs power from the network next to it (100 AE each, via the provider). Acceleration cards: up to 10× faster.
Machine patterns (inscriber, charger, furnace …): the provider pushes ingredients straight in. Turn on "Push results" in the inscriber and finished parts go back into the provider – no import bus needed.
Amount window: type a number or formula (click the amount): `3*64`, `2k`, `2s` (= 2 stacks) or `=32` (as many as needed to have 32 in the network). Plus buttons ±1, ±10, ±100, ±1000.
Lots of providers? The
ME Pattern Access Terminal shows every pattern provider in the network (one per row) – swap patterns without walking there.
