About this project
What does ae2helpers add?
ae2helpers is a Quality of Life addon for Applied Energistics 2 designed to make autocrafting setups smoother and more compact.
Features
1. Crafting Result Import Card: A specialized upgrade for the Pattern Provider.
- What it does: Allows a Pattern Provider to push ingredients to a machine and pull the finished results back using the same face.
- Benefit: Eliminates the need for separate Import Buses or Item Pipes.
- Only useful / needed on machines that don't automatically push their results to neighboring machines.
2. Automatic Recipe Insertion: An improved Crafting Terminal workflow.
- What it does: When you request an autocraft for a recipe in the terminal, the grid enters a "waiting" state with Ghost Items.
- Benefit: The moment your CPUs finish the job, the items are automatically inserted into the grid. No more waiting around to click the recipe again!
- Works with JEI, EMI and REI

This mod (obviously) requires AE2 to be installed. I will not be backporting it. There's a config for the added features.
Includes compatibility with applied flux and me soul card. Since they both add upgrade slots to the pattern provider, I decided to
go the non-invasive route and just add a separate slot to avoid needing mixins into those mods.
@AE2 / RS2 devs: Feel free to copy this feature (and/or code).
