AE Plus is an addon for Applied Energistics 2 that introduces advanced spatial manipulation mechanics, bridging the gap between digital storage and physical construction. (more later)

Features Offered

The Spatial Copier: A new high-tier machine capable of analyzing and cloning the contents of an AE2 Spatial Storage Cell onto a new, empty cell.
Smart Material Scanning: The machine scans the source structure and provides a detailed list of every block and fluid required for the operation.
ME Network Integration: It connects directly to your ME network to auto-extract the necessary materials. It respects fluid storage and item storage alike.
Selective Copying (Ignore List): A dedicated GUI allows users to toggle specific blocks or fluids to "Ignore" mode. Ignored elements will not be copied, and their material cost will not be deducted.
Dynamic Energy Cost: The operation requires AE Energy based on the complexity and size of the spatial cell (2³, 16³, or 128³).

How This Affects User Experience

Blueprinting & Mass Production: Players can now use Spatial Storage Cells as "blueprints." Instead of manually rebuilding complex machine setups or room designs, you can build it once, save it to a cell, and print multiple copies instantly—provided you have the raw materials in your system.
Balanced Gameplay: Unlike creative-mode tools, AE Plus maintains survival balance. You cannot duplicate items for free; the Spatial Copier strictly requires the exact amount of blocks and fluids from your ME storage to construct the copy.
Streamlined Automation: The intuitive interface lets players check if they have enough resources before committing to a copy. The "Ignore" feature allows for flexible cloning—for example, copying a machine setup but leaving out the expensive cabling or fluids to be added later manually.
