About this project
What does Expanded AE add?
Expanded AE currently only adds a few new features. This mod is community-driven, so suggest any ideas you might have and they might get added.
1.20.1 and 1.21.1 are both being actively worked on! I will try to keep their features somewhat equal, but no promises :)
What's included currently:
Expanded Pattern Provider which has 72 slots for patterns so you don't have to build workarounds if you require more pattern slots for one machine, also added is the cable part version.
Upgrade item, so you can upgrade existing pattern providers while keeping their patterns in them.
Extra blocking modes for your pattern provider.
Pattern modification within pattern providers.
Expanded Pattern Encoding Terminal + Wireless Version: Pattern multiplication/division within the terminal, shift clicking while encoding places pattern into your inventory.
Pattern Refiller Card for Wireless Expanded Encoding Terminal.
Auto Complete Card for pattern providers.
Co-Processing units from 2x up to 1M cores!
Giga Pattern Provider: 288 slots spread out over 4 pages
Highlight Stored Locations by Keybind of anything in your ME System
Rename Items in the Pattern Encoding Terminal by Ctrl+Click
Note: If you want more in-depth explanations, check the github readme or ingame guide!
