AE2 Crystal Science
by MHanHanBing
Players who want a purified crystal progression in Applied Energistics 2 can add AE2 Crystal Science, which adds purified versions of several crystals and the machines that produce them.
What it does
The mod adds purified crystals, including Purified Entro, Quantum, Redstone, Ember, Rose Quartz and Irradiated Crystal, along with Applied Fluix and Applied Generators. A production chain built from dust seeds, growth and dedicated machines such as the grindstone, pulverizer and growth chamber produces them. The Aggregator mass-produces purified crystals in the mid to late game, and the crafting and energy generation used in that stage come from the same chain.
Applied Energistics 2 is required, and the mod relies on it for its networks and pattern handling. Applied Flux, Create and Mekanism are optional dependencies that add further interaction when installed. The AECS addon extends the automation side with stronger pattern execution, wireless channel solutions and Meteorite and Resonating Pattern providers, including Ender Emitter and Ender Broadcaster for more capable automation. The mod runs on both the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering game versions 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 with four release versions.
