AE2 BatchCraft v1.0.1

This release improves the in-game guide, product return performance, extraction configuration, and processing-pattern compatibility.

Updates

Improved Guide

• Expanded and reorganized the GuideME documentation.
• Added clearer explanations for setup, configuration, product returns,extraction, unit ports, troubleshooting, and task behavior.
• Improved English and Simplified Chinese guide coverage.
• Added structured navigation and item-specific guide pages.
• Added practical in-game scene demonstrations for common setups.

Faster Product Returns

• Improved product return throughput, especially when handling large batches of returned products.
• Reduced unnecessary return-slot processing.
• Improved the interaction between immediate product flushing and AE2's normal retry cycle.
• Products that cannot immediately return because the ME system is full remain available for later retry instead of being silently lost.

Revised Product Extraction Configuration

The Product Extraction Card now controls only the extraction behavior of the Pattern Provider that contains it.

Pattern P2P extraction is configured separately:

• Normal Output extraction is controlled by the Pattern P2P Input GUI.
• Unit Extraction Port behavior is controlled by the Pattern P2P Input and Unit Manager configuration.
• Extraction interval and extraction amount are no longer controlled by the Product Extraction Card for Pattern P2P endpoints.

This separates Pattern Provider extraction from Pattern P2P extraction and avoids conflicting configuration sources.

Hardened Material Output Metadata Encoding

• Strengthened the process that writes BatchCraft material output information into processing patterns.
• Added protection against other mods bypassing AE2's native pattern encoding flow.
• Improved the reliability of stored output forms and directions, including automatic and absolute directions.
• Helps ensure that encoded material routing information remains available in the final generated pattern.
