Not Enough Patterns
Not Enough Patterns is an addon mod for Applied Energistics 2 that enhances its autocrafting functions by creating patterns for machines that pattern providers can't usually handle on their own.
Pattern providers only cope with machines shaped like a furnace: items in, items out. This mod teaches them the rest. Every integration is one ordinary autocrafting step: encode a pattern, drop it in a provider, and the network drives the machine.
Supported Mods
| Mod | Processes |
|---|---|
| Create | Mechanical Crafting, Deploying, Filling, Sequenced Assembly |
Look a recipe up in JEI, hit the + button at a Pattern Encoding Terminal, and the right pattern comes back with the ingredients already worked out.
Added Content
- Import Card — Allows a pattern provider to collect its own results, tracked per pattern and per side, so it never takes anything that it shouldn't.
- Controllers — Manages a whole multi-step or multi-block process under one single block, moving items to where they need to go, then back into your system once the craft is finished.
- Matrices — One-block late-game solutions that replace an entire multiblock process line, like Create's Sequenced Assembly.
Modpack Permission
You are free to include this mod in any Modpack on CurseForge or Modrinth.
Documentation
Every machine has a full page in the in-game AE2 Guide, including setup diagrams, pattern encoding, troubleshooting, and its settings. Open the guide and look for Not Enough Patterns. That is the reference; this page is the summary.
Configuration
NEP is built with pack devs in mind: nep-server.toml is fully modular. Every integration has its own section with an enabled toggle, and a master modules.<mod>.allow_<mod>_module as a master switch for that mod's integrations.
