Pattern Parcel

This mod is an Applied Energistics 2 addon that will you combine multiple crafting patterns into a reusable parcel.

Using the added terminals, you can add patterns to a parcel and specify how many of each result should be requested. When the parcel is inserted into a Parcel Terminal, the mod submits all of those requests to the connected ME network automatically.

Pattern Parcel does not replace AE2’s normal autocrafting setup. Every requested item must already have a valid encoded pattern and the required Pattern Provider, machines, crafting CPUs, ingredients, and network infrastructure. Patterns are referenced when configuring the parcel and are not consumed.

New Items

Parcel Workbench – Program Parcels by inserting encoded patterns and setting batch crafting quantities. (Patterns are not consumed).
Parcel Terminal – Connects to your ME network to batch-submit a Parcel's crafting requests with a single click. (Requires standard AE2 autocrafting infrastructure).
Parcel – A reusable, punch-card item that stores pattern recipes and request counts. (Does not store physical items or ingredients).

Config

Config Option	Default	Range / Type	Description
`maxEntries`	`9`	Perfect Square	Maximum entries a parcel can hold. Also sets the Parcel Workbench grid size.
`maxEntryQuantity`	`999`	`1` – `32767`	Maximum craft quantity for a single parcel entry.
`terminalIdlePower`	`1.0`	`0.0` – `100.0`	Idle power draw in AE/t for a connected Parcel Terminal.
`autoStartOnInsert`	`false`	`true` / `false`	Automatically starts crafting upon inserting a parcel into a terminal (can also be driven by redstone).
`cpuRetryTicks`	`20`	`1` – `1200`	Ticks to wait when looking for a free crafting CPU (20 ticks = 1 sec). Higher values lower server impact.
`shortageRetries`	`16`	`0` – `100`	Number of retry attempts when encountering a missing resource shortage.
`shortageRetryTicks`	`100`	Integer	Ticks between shortage retry attempts. Each attempt recalculates the full recursive craft tree.
`repeatDelayTicks`	`100`	Integer	Ticks to wait before a terminal held under a redstone signal re-runs its parcel.
`reserveCpus`	`0`	Integer	Crafting CPUs to reserve for players. Parcels will only run if free CPUs exceed this number.
`prioritizeSpeed`	`false`	`true` / `false`	`false`: Saves fast CPUs for manual jobs, using smaller ones for parcels. `true`: Uses high-performance CPUs first to finish parcels faster.
`enableDebugCommands`	`false`	`true` / `false`	Enables `/patternparcel` debug commands in-game.

Requirements

Obviously you need Applied Energetics 2, and it's dependency.
