Preface
Pseudo-craftingIt is a special automation scheme. The template for coding this type of automation does not directly write the recipe itself, but uses other items to replace part of the materials or products. GTO provides an item called 'Order', which when used as the final product, once all required materials are sent, the crafting task will automatically cancel, providing a new idea for pseudo-crafting automation. This tutorial introduces a relatively simple automation idea for flocculated water based on pseudo-crafting.
Automation Design
As shown in the figure, below the ME requester is the upward-facing ME output assembly, and to the right of the Quantum Tank VI is the ME storage bus.
Detailed Description
The ME Requester, Output Assembly, and Pattern Provider are all connected to the main network. The pattern in the Pattern Provider is of the form 'Ozone Water + 10kB Polyaluminum Chloride → Order'. The amount of ozone water is self-determined. The order can mark any item. The ME Requester automatically requests this order (any requester in the main network can be used, not necessarily placed near the purification device). The ME Inventory Input Bus automatically pulls items. If you want to increase the amount of ozone water processed at one time, please increase the capacity of the Quantum Tank.
How it works
The requester initiates a synthesis request, automatically synthesizes the required polyaluminum chloride, and obtains the required ozone water from the network. After the polyaluminum chloride synthesis is complete, it first sends the ozone water as shown in the template. The sent ozone water enters the quantum tank, is read by the storage bus, and is also pulled by the ME inventory input hatch. Since the quantum tank can only store one type of fluid, the 10kB of polyaluminum chloride to be sent will remain in the template supplier. After the flocculation purification device receives the ozone water, it will start executing the recipe. At this point, the ozone water in the quantum tank is consumed, and then the polyaluminum chloride can be input into the quantum tank, and then pulled by the inventory input hatch to enter the flocculation purification device.
After the ozone water is sent, this synthesis is considered complete. The order will automatically cancel the synthesis task and synthesize the next required polyaluminum chloride and ozone water. After the synthesis is complete, there is a high probability that the materials will be sent while the purification device is still working. Note that the fluid sent first at this time is ozone water. The flocculation purification device will not consume the input ozone water when executing the recipe, so the ozone water will still remain in the quantum tank and will only be consumed when the next recipe starts. After consumption, the polyaluminum chloride retained in the sample supply device can enter the quantum tank, thus repeating the cycle to continuously produce flocculated water.
