crafter V2

You can check out the first version here.

Changes

• Easier Expansion: The crafter is now much more straightforward to expand.

• Improved Distribution: Package distribution has been drastically improved thanks to two sections of round-robin tunnels.

• Cost Reduction: It is a bit less expensive now (though not by a huge margin).

Features & Capabilities

The system is fully capable of handling common automation scenarios during an average gameplay session:

• Bulk Requests: When you want to craft—for example, 32 drills—you can simply increase the requests inside a single package, and the system will automatically split them into multiple single recipes.

• Asynchronous Processing: Following the previous example, you can send another completely different request at the exact same time, and it will be handled asynchronously.

• Multi-Recipe Packages: You can also send multiple completely different recipes inside the same package, and it will work just fine.

Known Issues

• Frogport Orientation & Labels: When trying to print the schematic, the frogports might not place down correctly. Make sure to double-check that every single frogport is pointing toward the right spot on the chain and that they are all labeled identically (Suggestions: crafter or crafterInput).

• Single-Package Requirement: While the contraption can handle multiple recipes within a single package, all the required items must be in that same package. If your system splits the items into more than one package, the re-packager won't process the request. Instead, the package will just end up sitting stuck inside the buffer vaults below the frogport.

• Packages Not Entering or Coming Out of the Vaults: If this happens after you are done printing, it is because the block states are a bit buggy. You just need to reset the levers attached to the re-packagers.
