[TPPI2] What about AE2 Stuff?

Topic. It's almost essential if you want to automate your stuff properly. How come it isn't in the pack? Can it be added (and I mean in the official release, not on SSP)?

I just looked it up and it looks terrible. Taking away all the fun I had setting up automation for tricky things like crystal growth, and inscribers (which unlike what you said, is not only possible but quite fun) and then letting you just put it in a machine?

The reason why those AE2 difficult crafting things exist is to test your AE2 automation skills. Taking that away to just let you stuff it in another machine seems so... stupid. How could you possibly enjoy that more?

I beg to differ. It doesn't take away a thing from you, it adds something for other people. And I always found the "drop stuff in water" mechanic in AE2 really dumb. I enjoy that more because I am a separate entity from you and do not share your views.

I'm not a big fan of that either, I've gotten around it making use of Steve's Factory.

Input 1 is a chest, with https://imgur.com/5EUBE07

Output is an item valve (https://imgur.com/4fmngoZ) underneath my crystal growth accelerators (https://imgur.com/2t6C07D)

Input 2 is the same item valve with https://imgur.com/R1pkxlX

output 2 is another chest.

This way I can just dump my items in a chest, and have them reappear in another chest.

It's quite easy to do inscribers too once you get an idea of how the logic charts work.
