Building Gadgets2 AE2 Addon

by CZHMC

Building Gadgets2 AE2 Addon lets Building Gadgets 2 pull its missing materials from an AE2 network through autocrafting, for NeoForge on 1.21.1.

What it does

When a Building Gadgets 2 build lacks items, the addon sends crafting requests into the AE2 network and waits for the results. It scans the whole remaining BUILD EXCHANGE queue before requesting anything, totals the shortfall per AE2 item key so repeated blocks go out together, and keeps Building Gadgets 2's source order while checking what is already available. Storage bound to the player's inventory or Curios slots is included in that check.

Copy-Paste Gadget queues are covered for normal replacement and paste stages. Queues the addon does not support keep Building Gadgets 2's original behavior.

The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.3.0 as the latest file.

Key features

  1. AE2 autocrafting requests

    Shortfalls are requested from the AE2 network as crafting jobs, so materials stored in AE2 are used directly.

  2. Batch crafting by item

    Repeated blocks are totaled by AE2 item key and requested in one batch rather than block by block.

  3. Native crafting plan screens

    The player sets the amount in AE2's own quantity menu and checks the crafting plan before starting the job.

  4. Automatic resume

    Placement restarts on its own once the requested crafting has finished and the materials are available.

Questions

Does Building Gadgets2 AE2 Addon need AE2 installed?

Yes. The addon submits crafting jobs to the AE2 network, so AE2 must be installed alongside Building Gadgets 2 on the same side.

Does the server need the addon?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

What happens to queues the addon does not support?

Unsupported queues keep Building Gadgets 2's original behavior, so the addon does not change how they are placed.

What the author says

The addon does not submit crafting jobs silently in the background. The player confirms the amount in AE2's native amount screen, reviews each native crafting plan, and presses Start before a job is submitted. Unsupported queues are left to Building Gadgets 2's original behavior.
