Pattern Parcel

This mod is an Applied Energistics 2 addon that will you combine multiple crafting patterns into a reusable parcel.

Using the added terminals, you can add patterns to a parcel and specify how many of each result should be requested. When the parcel is inserted into a Parcel Terminal, the mod submits all of those requests to the connected ME network automatically.

Pattern Parcel does not replace AE2’s normal autocrafting setup. Every requested item must already have a valid encoded pattern and the required Pattern Provider, machines, crafting CPUs, ingredients, and network infrastructure. Patterns are referenced when configuring the parcel and are not consumed.

---

New Items

• Parcel Workbench – Program Parcels by inserting encoded patterns and setting batch crafting quantities. (Patterns are not consumed).
• Parcel Terminal – Connects to your ME network to batch-submit a Parcel's crafting requests with a single click. (Requires standard AE2 autocrafting infrastructure).
• Parcel – A reusable, punch-card item that stores pattern recipes and request counts. (Does not store physical items or ingredients).

Config

Config Option	Default	Range / Type	Description
maxEntries	9	Perfect Square	Maximum entries a parcel can hold. Also sets the Parcel Workbench grid size.
maxEntryQuantity	999	1 – 32767	Maximum craft quantity for a single parcel entry.
terminalIdlePower	1.0	0.0 – 100.0	Idle power draw in AE/t for a connected Parcel Terminal.
autoStartOnInsert	false	true / false	Automatically starts crafting upon inserting a parcel into a terminal (can also be driven by redstone).
cpuRetryTicks	20	1 – 1200	Ticks to wait when looking for a free crafting CPU (20 ticks = 1 sec). Higher values lower server impact.
shortageRetries	16	0 – 100	Number of retry attempts when encountering a missing resource shortage.
shortageRetryTicks	100	Integer	Ticks between shortage retry attempts. Each attempt recalculates the full recursive craft tree.
repeatDelayTicks	100	Integer	Ticks to wait before a terminal held under a redstone signal re-runs its parcel.
reserveCpus	0	Integer	Crafting CPUs to reserve for players. Parcels will only run if free CPUs exceed this number.
prioritizeSpeed	false	true / false	false: Saves fast CPUs for manual jobs, using smaller ones for parcels. true: Uses high-performance CPUs first to finish parcels faster.
enableDebugCommands	false	true / false	Enables /patternparcel debug commands in-game.

Requirements

Obviously you need Applied Energetics 2, and it's dependency.
