Recursive AE2 Pattern Provider

🔧 Advanced Tips

Terminal Workflow Efficiency

• Use the Recursive Pattern Toggle directly in the Pattern Encoding Terminal to batch-create recursive patterns instantly without carrying extra crafting items in your inventory.
• The toggle state in the terminal is specific to Crafting Patterns and will automatically hide when switching to Processing or Smithing modes.
• Configurable GUI Button: If you prefer forcing players to craft recursive patterns via crafting table recipes only, set enableEncodingGuiToggle = false in the configuration file.

Recursion Depth Control

• Depth 1: Only generates direct ingredients (e.g., Planks for a Chest).
• Depth 3: Generates ingredients + their ingredients + logs (recommended for most setups).
• Unlimited (-1): Solves the entire dependency tree down to raw raw materials.
• Disabled (0): Restores vanilla AE2 behavior.

Pattern Provider Setup & Performance

• Place recursive patterns in Pattern Providers connected to Molecular Assemblers.
• Auto-generated dependency patterns inherit the substitute settings (item/fluid substitution) of their parent pattern.
• In large modpacks, keep reasonable recursion depth limits to optimize network pattern indexing times.
