Better Level Maintainer

A block that automatically maintains item quantities in your AE2 network by scheduling crafting jobs.

Features:

Multiple Recipes: Manage an unlimited(-ish) number of items to maintain
Target Quantities: Set the desired quantity for each item (shift-scroll the entry to double/halve quantity quickly)
Batch Crafting: Configure how many items to craft per run
Customizable Frequency: Set check intervals from seconds to days (ctrl-scroll the entry to double/halve the time quickly)
CPU Management: Automatically queues tasks when no CPU is available
Status Indicators: Visual color coding shows the state of each recipe:
- Gray: Recipe is disabled (click the item name or right-click the entry to enable/disable)
- No color: Idle, waiting for next check
- Light Blue: Scheduled to run
- Green: Currently crafting
- Yellow: Stalled (waiting for resources)
- Red: Error (no recipe, no CPU, missing resources)
- Purple: Post-crafting error (no space for output)

Usage:

1. Place the Better Level Maintainer block and right-click to open the GUI
2. Click on an empty slot to add a recipe
3. In the modal, click the item slot to select a craftable item from your network
4. Set the target quantity (how many items you want to maintain)
5. Set the batch size (how many to craft at once)
6. Set the frequency (how often to check, e.g., "1h 30m" for every 1.5 hours)
7. The maintainer will automatically craft <batch size> items when quantity falls below target

Tips:

Set batch size high to avoid frequent crafting (you may even set it to several times the target quantity). Be mindful of setting it too high, as it may cause resource shortages or crafting failures if the network can't keep up.
Use subnets to reduce the load when calculating the recipes, as the load scales with the number of items and patterns in the network.
Try to keep the recipes simple and avoid long crafting chains, as they are exponentially more expensive to calculate and schedule.
Prefer longer check intervals. You can batch 10k every 100 minutes instead of 100 every minute, which will be much easier on the network and still keep your stock at the desired level.
Make sure you have enough CPUs, energy, and crafting resources to keep up with the scheduled tasks, especially if you have many recipes, long recipes, or short check intervals.

AutoCrafter

A powerful automation block that automatically crafts items using patterns from your AE2 network. Think of it as a RFTools Crafter with 12 recipe slots and a whole AE2 Network as both input and output.

Features:

12 Recipe Slots: Configure up to 12 different recipes
Pattern Support: Insert any AE2 crafting pattern to define the recipe (does not work with PROCESSING patterns, for obvious reasons).
Pattern Multi-Tool support: If you have the Pattern Multi-Tool in your inventory/baubles, you can access its patterns directly from the AutoCrafter GUI. The x2/x3/+1 buttons do not work as they make no sense for CRAFTING patterns.
Recipe Preview: Visual 3x3 input grid showing required ingredients and output.
Catalyst Inventory: 9-slot internal inventory per recipe for reusable/duplication items, or intermediary tools with durability (if the last recipe didn't completely consume them).
Performance Optimization: Caches recipe simulations and only recalculates when necessary (when recipe changes)
Batch Crafting: Configure how many items to craft per operation, while decreasing the crafting speed accordingly. A batch size of 50x means 50x the inputs, for 50x the output, but it will run 1/50th of the speed, so it will still consume the same amount of resources per second, just in bigger bursts. This is ideal if you want to run less frequently, while still getting the same overall throughput. A Speed Upgrade card (tier I/II/III/IV) can be used to increase this batch size even further, without speed penalty (the batch size is increased instead of the speed to avoid spamming the network, which causes lag). The base batch per operation can be set in config.
Speed Control: Set crafting interval from 1 second to days (1s, 1m, 1h, 1d increments). Note: this explicitly slows down crafting. You may want to use "Batch size" instead, to craft more items per operation without slowing down the overall crafting speed.
Network Integration: Automatically extracts inputs from ME storage and inserts outputs back
Overview Mode: See all 12 recipes at a glance on a single page
Efficiency statistics: The error rate and occupancy (since world load) of each recipe is tracked and displayed in the GUI, to help identify bottlenecks or resource shortages
Fake Player Crafting: Compatible with mods that require player context for crafting
State Indicators: Color-coded status for each recipe entry:
- Gray (Disabled): Recipe is disabled
- No color (Idle): Waiting for next craft cycle
- Orange (Missing Catalyst): Required catalyst items (inserted manually in the internal inventory)
- Red (Missing Input): Required ingredients not available in network (couldn't even make a single item)
- Purple (No Output Space): Network storage full
- Yellow (Simulation Failed): Recipe simulation failed
- Blue (Holding Output): Waiting to insert output into network

Usage:

1. Place the AutoCrafter block and right-click to open the GUI
2. Insert a crafting pattern into the pattern slot
3. The recipe preview will show required inputs and output
4. Add the required reusable/duplication items to the 9-slot internal inventory
5. Configure batch size (how many to craft per cycle) via the Batch button
6. Configure speed (base crafting interval) via the Speed button
7. Toggle entries on/off by clicking the state indicator
8. Use page navigation or Overview button to switch between recipes
9. Add drives to hold the input/output items
10. Add interfaces to interact with your main AE2 network, like you would do a normal crafter
11. You can add patterns from the outside by right-clicking the block with them.

Tips:

Use larger batch size to avoid querying the network too often. Do note a very large batch size may cause resource shortages or crafting failures if the network can't keep up with the demand, but the recipes should automatically scale down the batch size if resources are insufficient.
The Overview mode lets you quickly check the status of all 12 recipes
Shift-click on +/- buttons in Speed GUI for 10x increments

Network Advanced Component Locator

An advanced tool for finding and navigating to specific components in your AE2 network:

Component Grid: Displays all component types on your network in a scrollable grid (similar to AE2's Network Tool)
Location Browser: Click any component type to see all its locations sorted by distance from you
Visual Overlay: Highlights selected component locations with in-world wireframe outlines and directional arrows
Distance Display: Shows distance to each component location, with automatic unit conversion (m/km)
Multi-Selection: Select multiple locations to highlight them simultaneously
Subnet Scanning: Toggle whether to include components from connected subnets in the scan
Compact/Tall View: Switch between a compact 4-row view or a taller view that fits more items on screen

Usage:

Right-click on any network component to scan the network and open the component grid GUI
Right-click in air to reopen the GUI with the last scan results
Shift-right-click to toggle the overlay display

GUI Navigation:

1. The grid view shows all component types with their count (like AE2's Network Status)
2. Click a component type to enter detail view and see all locations
3. Click locations to select/deselect them (selected locations show overlays in-world)
4. Use "Select All" / "Clear All" buttons to manage selections quickly
5. Use the style button (left of GUI) to toggle between compact and tall view
6. Use the subnet button (left of GUI) to toggle subnet scanning on/off
7. Click the back arrow or press Escape to return to the grid view

Tips:

Past a configurable distance, the overlay shows directional arrows pointing toward selected locations, helping you navigate
Locations are automatically sorted by distance, so the closest ones appear first
Use subnet scanning when you need to find components across multiple connected networks
Toggle overlay off when not needed to reduce screen clutter, if you may hold it in hand for prolonged periods of time

FAQ

Will the scanner detect all unloaded chunks in my network?

No, this is a limitation of AE2, due to it not storing grid nodes for unloaded chunks. Detecting them would involve loading neighboring chunks during the scan, which would refresh the whole network and trigger heavy lag spikes over large networks. The scanner can only detect chunks that were loaded at scan time.
