RaiThaumcraftAdditions

Thaumcraft rituals run on the AE2 network and join the grid as machines of their own. The Arcane Assembler is a network node that carries its own grid connection, so a cable is not needed next to it. Its results go straight into storage, and patterns pushed into an adjacent Interface work as well. Jars, tubes and other aspect containers within 16 blocks are found automatically, and the assembler takes acceleration cards and can be set up to run up to five crafts at once, each costing 40 progress. Its room is large enough for big recipes, with 18 input and 18 output slots, which fits the widest recipes.

The Infusion Crucible is handled the same way. Ingredients are laid out in the grid and a machine is picked, then the Infusion Matrix Crucible encoder resolves against Thaumcraft's own recipe lists. The encoder grid holds ghost stacks, so the configuration uses no real items and nothing is consumed or dropped when a block breaks. One set of ingredients can match more than one recipe, and the catalyst decides which result is made, depending on essentia. The encoder lets a player pick one stamp. Players feed an AE2 Blank Pattern and take out the finished Infusion Crucible Pattern.

Four pylons sit symmetrically around the matrix, two blocks out and at the same level, and they keep the matrix free of instability. The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. It is published for Forge only, for 1.7.10.
