Applied Smelting

ME Network Smelting: Put furnace processing on the grid.

About

Applied Smelting is an add-on for Applied Energistics 2 that brings furnace processing directly into ME networks.

Rather than transferring materials between storage and separate furnaces, the ME Smelter finds compatible inputs in ME storage, consumes network power and returns the finished products directly to the system. Connected smelters can be managed from a dedicated ME Smelting Terminal.

Applied Smelting is currently in beta, with its first releases focused on establishing reliable network-powered smelting before expanding into item selection, upgrades and more advanced processing controls.

Features

• ME Smelter: Automatically processes furnace-compatible items stored in an ME network
• ME Smelting Terminal: View and control connected ME Smelters from one interface
• Network-powered processing: Smelting consumes AE power instead of conventional furnace fuel
• Direct storage integration: Inputs are extracted from ME storage and completed outputs are returned automatically
• Standard furnace recipes: Supports compatible vanilla and modded furnace recipes
• Network-wide controls: Pause or resume all connected ME Smelters from the terminal
• AE-inspired appearance: Designed to fit naturally alongside existing ME devices while retaining its own furnace-focused visual style

Recipe browsing, manual item selection, quantities, upgrades and parallel processing controls are planned for future beta releases.

...and more still to come.
