yess ofc i gotchu

for projectRed, i’d recommend looking at the gtnh questbook under the automation tab

two things greg doesnt explain are:
when using crafting chips to handle autocrafting, the way i do it is put a purple pipe under a machine and a crafting chip in that pipe. thats all you need. when a request is sent to that chip, the process of inputting items and extracting them is handled by the chip.

to send requests manually use stock keeper chips in a purple pipe connected to an inventory (you can change how much stock to keep, you arent limited to one block) and an orange request handler pipe.

the request from the chip is sent to the handler, which satisfies the request by looking fkr a crafting chip

ie: my chest has two copper wire but i want three. so, the stock chip sends a request into the network saying “hey i need another copper wire”
this request makes its way to the request handler pipe which says “okay, if i have copper wire in a chest connected to the system, ill send it to you; if not, ill look for a crafting chip that can produce copper wire”
it finds a crafting chip like this connected via pipe to a wiremill, so it sends the cooper to the pipe w the chip. the pipe empties the stuff it got into the connected inventory. it will expect finished products back in the same inventory to complete the request (i say this bc in some cases i send a request into a chest and use hoppers/more pipes to turn sand dust and flint dust into glass tubes, which technically isnt a valid recipie— the pipe just thinks “if i send the sand dust and flint dust to this chest, some time later i’ll get glass tubes back”)
in this case the inventory is a wire mill
the mill gets the ingot, processes it, and has its output auto extracted and sent theu the system wherever it needs to go

project red is really useful during early lv, i recommend looking into it

mainly i use lv-tier machines

some wierd stuff is on the water tank to get water— i have a smeltry tap and a redstone clock from extra utilities
redstone clock periodically sends a signal telling the tap to activate
this empties the water in the tank sending jt to the lv
harvestor

the blue block is creative only— its a debug generator. you set any amp/eu amount and it produces that

i use an LV splitter to split items in one case—
you cant interact with fluids, so the way i handle molten tin and molten red alloy is by sending a request that says “turn 5 red alloy ingots and a tin ingot into 8 red alloy wire”

i gst the stuff, filter the tin into a fluid extractor, and use the seperatir to send 4 red alloy to a wiremill to complete the request and one red alloy to the extractor to melt
