Pattern Providers gain a specialized upgrade, the Crafting Result Import Card, which lets a machine pull finished results back through the same slot it pushes ingredients from. Machines that only need ingredients stop pushing their results into neighboring machines such as vanilla hoppers, which keeps the output where the crafting chain expects it. In that role the card takes over a job that would otherwise fall to extra pipes.

The crafting terminal gains an option to auto-import pending crafts. When a request for an autocraft recipe is placed, the terminal grid enters a waiting state marked with Ghost Items while the inputs are gathered, and the items load into the crafting grid automatically. A small showcase of automatic insertion is part of the feature set. The mod needs Applied Energistics 2 installed and works alongside JEI, EMI and REI.

Because both this mod and other addons add upgrade slots to Pattern Providers, the card uses its own separate slot rather than extending the existing ones, which avoids needing mixins. The mod includes compatibility with the soul card from a related energy addon and offers config options for its features. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
