Replication AE2 Bridge

By
Unfamily

Adds a system for integrating AE2 and Replication

The bridge enables interaction between AE2 and Replication.

Everything in Replication is visible in AE2, and vice versa.

Replication tasks can be initiated from AE2 by fully integrating with AE2’s autocrafting feature.

It allows you to create certain resources required for the mod’s advanced components

Better than Replicators

A powerful multi-block that can simulate a huge number of replication tasks per tick.

Description

Replication AE2 Bridge

Bridges Applied Energistics 2 and Replication: matter in AE2 terminals, crafting/automation across both networks, and dedicated machines for high-throughput matter crafting.

Core bridge

AE2–Replication Bridge (block): connects an AE2 grid to a Replication matter network.
Shows Replication matter amounts in AE2 terminals (dedicated matter view).
Lets AE2 request / craft with Replication matter.
Automates Disintegrators with processing patterns.
Dedicated disintegrator pattern encoding mode (still encoded as processing; simpler UX).
Feeds energy from AE2 into the Replication network.
Multiple Replication networks can be linked through the same AE2 network via bridges.
Cable AE2–Replication Bridge: flat cable-mounted part with the same bridge GUI (energy feed + priority).

Matter storage (AE2)

Matter Cells: store Replication matter inside AE2 (1k–256k + creative).
Optional MEGA Cells: mega matter housing and 1M–256M matter cells when MEGA Cells is installed.

Matter Assembler

Fast replicator-style machine, upgradeable with Acceleration Cards (Molecular Assembler–style UX).
Crafts using Fluixing Replica Alloy + Replica Processor progression.

Matter Foundry

Vibration Chamber–style machine that crafts items from:

Up to 5 item inputs
Replication matter
Energy (AE2 grid and/or FE buffer — AE online is not required)

Matter feed is dual-path:

Auto-pull from the Replication network into a local X/Y buffer (X = currently buffered, Y = recipe requirement; X may be 0 or greater than Y)
And/or push via AE2 Export Bus / Pattern Provider

Also includes Acceleration Cards, AUTO_EXPORT, priority, sided item insert, dump-matter control, particles while active, and JEI / EMI / REI recipe categories.

Recipes use type rep_ae2_bridge:matter_foundry with iska_lib recipe bundles.

Matter Assembling Chamber

Configurable multiblock (3×3×3 to 7×7×7):

Shell: chamber frames + AE2 quartz / vibrant glass
Interior: replication units (idle / running / anomaly overlays + fill shader)
When formed, units join the AE2 grid
