These changes significantly improve the operation of both standard AE2 and the Extended AE modification, making management of automated crafting systems more predictable and efficient.
Improvements for AE2
Instead of alphabetical sorting, the inventory now uses item registration order, providing more logical organization of network storage. The pattern provider logic has been optimized: it no longer sends crafting ingredients if the inventory contains any foreign items, preventing potential conflicts and blockages in automated systems.
Optimization for Extended AE
The crystal fixing process has been radically accelerated - it now completes in one game tick, which is especially valuable for mass processing. However, such a significant speed increase requires higher energy costs: energy consumption increases four times.
