ME Placement Tool

The tool places AE2 cable types such as Glass Covered, Dense Covered and Smart cables, along with parts, buses, panels and fluids. A radial menu switches items quickly, its inner ring sets the placement count (1, 8, 64, 256 or 1024) and its outer ring picks the item. Line Mode lays straight cable runs, Plane Fill covers a rectangular area, and an expansion algorithm fills along surfaces that share a block type. A visual preview marks exactly where each block will go before it is placed, and Ctrl with a left click reverts recent placements.

Applied Energistics 2 is a required dependency, so it must be installed on every side the mod runs on. The mod also includes a Wireless Access Point tool for connecting placed parts to an AE network without cables. It supports auto-crafting: when an item is unavailable, a crafting request menu opens automatically. Smart dyeing draws dye from the network, inventory or offhand first, and the Key Spectrum upgrade lets cables take 17 colors without consuming dye. Placed devices can configure themselves automatically when AE2 Memory Cards or Mekanism Configuration Cards are used with the tool. Players can also drag items into the 18 configuration slots through JEI or REI integration.
