Automation of Processor Production

There are many ways of automating processors, and this is one of them.

This general layout can be done with any type of item logistics pipe or conduit or duct or whatever the mod calls it, as long as you can filter it.

Here is detailed how to do it with just AE2, using "pipe" subnets.

Note that since this uses a МЭ поставщик шаблонов, it is meant to integrate into your autocrafting setup. If you just want to automate a processor standalone, replace the pattern provider with another barrel, and directly put the ingredients into the upper barrel.

This happens to be backwards-compatible with previous AE2 versions, because even if the Высекательs are sided, the pipe subnets still insert to and extract from the correct faces.

A Lesson in Pattern Encoding

Often, the pattern you need to encode WILL NOT MATCH WHAT YOU SEE IN JEI, or what JEI outputs when you click the + button. In this case, JEI will output 2 separate patterns, one for the printed components and one for the final assembly, and the printed components pattern will include a press. This is not what we want, because this is not what the setup will do. We want 1 pattern that inputs the raw resources and outputs the completed processor, and since the press is already in the inscriber, we should not put it in the pattern.

Configurations

• The МЭ поставщик шаблонов (1) is in its default configuration, with the relevant Шаблон обработкиs. Note that the patterns go directly from raw resources to the completed processor, and they do NOT include the press.

  

• The МЭ шина храненияes (2, 17, 18, 20) are in their default configurations.

• The МЭ шина экспортаes (3–7) are filtered to the relevant ingredient. They have 2 Карта ускоренияs.

• The Мэ шина импортаes (13–16, 19) are in their default configurations. They have 2 Карта ускоренияs.

• The Высекательs are in their default configurations. They have the relevant press, and 4 Карта ускоренияs.

  

How It Works

1. The МЭ поставщик шаблонов pushes the ingredients into the barrel.
2. The first pipe subnet (orange) pulls the silicon, redstone dust, and the relevant processor's ingredient (Gold Ingot, Certus Quartz Crystal, or Diamond) out of the barrel and puts them in the relevant Высекатель.
3. The first four Высекательs make the Печатный кремний, and the Печатная логическая схема, Печатная вычислительная схема, or Печатная инженерная схема.
4. The second and third pipe subnets (green) take the printed circuits out of the first four Высекательs and put them in the fifth, final assembly Высекатель.
5. The fifth Высекатель assembles the processor.
6. The fourth pipe subnet (purple) puts the processor in the pattern provider, returning it to the main network.
