AE2 Processor/Advanced Inscriber Automation

[Swedish_Medic]

Here are two designs to auto-craft processors for AE2.

 

 

What you'll need for design 1:

• 9 Advanced Inscribers (AE2 Stuff)
• 3 Interfaces (Applied Energistics 2)
• 1 Logic Press (Applied Energistics 2)
• 1 Calculation Press (Applied Energistics 2)
• 1 Engineering Press (Applied Energistics 2)
• 3 Silicon Presses (Applied Energistics 2)
• 7 Item Conduits (Ender IO)
• 3 ME Conduits (Ender IO)
• 9 Basic Item Filters (Ender IO)
• 3 Chests
• 1 Energy Acceptor (Applied Energistics 2)
• 3 Blank Patterns (Applied Energistics 2)
• Cables and an ME system with auto-crafting (You need a crafting CPU).

 

What you'll need for design 2:

• 5 Advanced Inscribers (AE2 Stuff)
• 1 Interface (Applied Energistics 2)
• 1 Logic Press (Applied Energistics 2)
• 1 Calculation Press (Applied Energistics 2)
• 1 Engineering Press (Applied Energistics 2)
• 1 Silicon Presses (Applied Energistics 2)
• 5 Item Conduits (Ender IO)
• 3 ME Conduits (Ender IO)
• 5 Basic Item Filters (Ender IO)
• 1 Chest
• 1 Energy Acceptor (Applied Energistics 2)
• 3 Blank Patterns (Applied Energistics 2)
• Cables and an ME system with auto-crafting (You need a crafting CPU).

 

Design 1:

Place your 9 Advanced Inscribers in 3 rows as the image shows.

 

Place 3 Item Conduits between the advanced inscribers.

 

Disconnect the 3 conduits from each other by right clicking the gray bar between them with a wrench.

 

Attached to the top and mid row, change the mode of the conduits to In/Out, set the mode of the bottom row to Insert.

 

Place your Logic Press in the top left advanced inscriber.
Place your Calculation Press in the top middle advanced inscriber.
Place your Engineering Press in the top right advanced inscriber.
If the black lock icon to the left has a red cross over it, left click it so that it looks as on the images.

 

Add filters to the conduit connections attached to the top row of advanced inscribers, mode Insert. Add filters as in the images;
Gold going to the top left advanced inscriber.
Pure Certus going to the top middle advanced inscriber.
Diamond going to the top right advanced inscriber.

 

Add your 3 Silicon Presses to each of the advanced inscribers on the middle layer.

Add filters to the conduit connections attached to the middle row of advanced inscribers, mode Insert. Add filters allowing silicon (both Ender IO and Galacticraft Core work, use the same as in the pattern you create later) to all 3 advanced inscribers on the middle row as in the image.

 

Add filters to the conduit connections attached to the bottom row of advanced inscribers, mode Insert. Add filters as in the images;
Redstone, Printed Logic Circuit and Printed Silicon going to the bottom left advanced inscriber.
Redstone, Printed Calculation Circuit and Printed Silicon going to the bottom middle advanced inscriber.
Redstone, Printed Engineering Circuit and Printed Silicon going to the bottom right advanced inscriber.

 

Place your 3 chests in a row as in the image. These chests will act as a buffer for the items required for crafting. Diamond chests aren't required, but vanilla chests won't work as they'll connect to each other. Just don't use DirtChests or similar low volume ones.

 

Place 3 Interfaces connecting to the chests. You can use the flat style interface as in the image as long as the middle is a normal interface, or you can just use the normal interface for all 3. (You get the flat style by placing a normal interface in a crafting grid). Flat ones look cooler.

 

Place 3 Item Conduits on the bottom row of advanced inscribers as in the image, disconnect them from the chests. Switch the mode to Extract. Then use another Item Conduit to connect them to the middle interface. Switch the mode to Input. This will extract the finished processors from the advanced inscribers and input them into the ME system.

 

Place a row of 3 ME Conduits between the advanced inscribers and chests where the item conduits are. Unlike the item conduits, the ME conduits should be connected with each other. Then place an Energy Acceptor on either the right or left side connecting to the ME conduits. Provide energy to the energy acceptor, Tesseracts (Thermal Expansion) or Quantum Entangloporter (Mekanism) are good ways, but ugly energy cables work as well. If you want you can disregard the energy acceptor and just attach it to your ME system with cables, but in my experience drawing less power from your ME system causes less potential issues.

 

Attach your ME system to the inscriber.

 

In your ME Pattern Terminal, create the 3 patterns the images show. If the icon to the right shows a crafting bench instead of a furnace, left click it. The crafting bench allows you to create patterns with existing recipes, the furnace allows you to create your own recipes by telling it the recipes and the end product.

 

Place the pattern for the Logic Processor in the left interface. (This is shown in the image)
Place the pattern for the Calculation Processor in the middle interface.
Place the pattern for the Engineering Processor in the right interface.

 

You're done. This is how the crafting components will flow.

 

Accelerator cards work here as well to speed up the advanced inscribers. The faster it goes, the more server resources you demand. Please mind the lag.

 

Make sure that all conduits that are extracting have redstone mode set to Always active.

 

Design 2:

Instead of placing 3 rows of 3 Advanced Interfaces place a top row with 3 advanced interfaces, then 1 advanced interface in the middle of the middle row and 1 advanced interface in the middle of the bottom row. Make sure that the Item Conduits are connected with one another for this design. Place the filters as in Design 1, with exception to the filter for the bottom advanced inscriber as it should have Silicon Press, Redstone dust, Logic Circuit, Calculation Circuit and Engineering Circuit all in one. The difference with this design is that the Silicon Presses for the 3 different Processors will be made in the same advanced inscriber and so will combining it all. This design will make you unable to craft Logic, Calculation and Engineering processors simultaneously (But do you really need that?). This design cost less resources to build, and as a bonus you'll place less stress on the server as you're using fewer machines at once.

 

Place all 3 patterns in the same interface, as there only is 1.

 

Don't forget the power.

 

Hopefully this will be of some help to someone and not just look like a complete mess. If something doesn't work for you with this design, you've done it wrong. Good luck and don't make me lag!

Great job on the Automation. i use mine above my mekanism ore refinery, that way the extra energy from the gas burning generator can power them.
