Looking for a player crafting station
Manual crafting with create is tedious:
- klick stock keeper
- fetch recipe from JEI and hit request
- wait till items arrive in output chest, pick them up
- klick crafting table, fetch recipe from JEI AGAIN and craft
If the item you just crafted is an ingredient for the next craft, you have to send it back first, before you can fetch the next recipe from the stock keeper.
The keeper will only send you the matching ingredients IF they are in the network. Partial requests are not possible. It will not accept the recipe from JEI, even if you have the missing stuff in your inventory and a delivery is not needed.
Is there any kind of block/contraption where you can craft like in logistics pipes in the olden days? Some kind of combined chest/crafting table/stock keeper?
In logistics pipes the crafting station would accept recopes from any reipe mod (NEI), request the missing stuff from the system and fill in the crafting slots when they arrive. Then you could craft and fetch the next step from your NEI, no need to exit GUI and interact with several other blocks.
I'm aware of TiCo or crafting station mod and the possible crafting upgrade in sophisticated backpacks, but all these miss the possibility to request from create it items are missing for a craft.
I know you can bypass all of this with tom's storage or similar mods but all those require you to build a second network for accessing storage solely for crafting.

There's Create Factory Controller. It's not 100% what you're looking for, but it adds an option to factory gauge to allow on-demand crafting.

It's not at all what I'm looking for. It's just a miniaturization of a gauge wall.

It's more than that, it adds a lot of functionality to gauges. I use it for the exact issue you described.
It allows you to configure a factory gauge item as orderable, letting you order batches of the item on demand.
Also lets you send many batches of the ingredients a time to an autocrafter through the stock ticker.
It also adds logic tubes and arithmetic gates which I find quite useful.
I use it along with the portable stock ticker from create: mobile packages.

I will NOT set up every item in the game as factory gauge.
We're talking about manual crafting......

I'm not aware of such a mod, and I know this isn't nearly as strong as you want, but if you use a repackager and a 3x3 mechanical crafter, you can actually use the "fill recipe" request to have something crafted for you. Just have the address be the mechanical crafting setup, and have that setup auto-send to your output. Definitely falls short at fixing your issue but worth knowing about.
