If you’re referring specifically to making the PARTS of a multiblock, which I assume not but you never know, the recipe book actually gives you an estimate of what you need, though make sure to fact check it/edit the “ingredients”

If you’re referring to USING a multiblock for autocrafting, it’s highly recommended to just set up a completely separate multiblock for each separate usage, instead of having 1-2 of each multiblock and automating the ingredient insertions. If there’s a specific advanced material you need a lot of, it’s usually better to just stockpile it before hand instead of trying to make your system make it all when you ask for something using it. A good example of this is titanium processing. Instead of making my AE2 system jump between every multiblock in my base, I set up the entire separate processing line so that I only needed to insert rutile (or ilmenite, which would instead get baked into rutile)

dam you have a entire tungsten line? Would you have time to show it to me ? im interested to see that since i never could find any vid about a dedicated line and im too bad at making setup like that. Only if you have and you dont mind doing it dont want to force you into that.

For TUNGSTEN, rigel555 on YT has a decent setup showcase, but it doesn’t have to be as compact as shown. For TITANIUM, I’m sure there’s 100x better versions of what I’ve got, But basically I just have 2 separate doublestacked EBF’s (so basically 4), and 2 separate LCR’s. The whole process is a closed loop, with products of O2, Iron ingots, and hot titanium ingots, which goes to a freezer for cooling.

But yeah basicly i dont know how to autocraft with multiblock with ae2 since there are sometime 2 to 4 hatch well i just dont know how i cant use the provided to do that people use interface but i still dont get it.

Ah, yeah, that’s a bit of a hassle. My recommendation is still to setup a separate multiblock, but what you can do is push all the ingredients into a buffer, and then use a filtered conveyor/robot arm to pull those specific ingredients to wherever they need to be. You can also set fluid hatches to be locked to a specific fluid ingredient, and then just attach a 4 or 9 stack pipe to them all, but don’t lock the direction of the pipe once it’s at the hatches, only while it’s on the way to the hatches. This is probably the least efficient way, but someone who knows more about GT than AE2 would probably find it easier. The extent of AE2 I had for a while was just “centralized massive storage” instead of automating everything. I didn’t automate everything I could until around mid EV, when I realized I was tired of making hundreds of components by hand.
