About AE2-GTO

The AE used by GTO is Unofficial version AE2 developed by the GTO team

This article will introduce AE2-GTO the main functions and features provided by it. The content is based on 0.6.0 (AE 15.2611.x); entries involving the interface are described according to the implementation of the current version.

-Hold Shift to toggle number buttons to multiplication and division.

- When inputting a mathematical expression, the result supports rounding: C for ceiling, F for floor.

-You can directly enter mathematical expressions with units and unit suffixes such as K, M, G, T, P (case-insensitive, e.g. 1.5k、2m、0.5g)

- In interfaces such as order quantity and set quantity, larger numbers can be entered, breaking through vanilla's INT limit (handled internally as long)

-Mathematical expressions also support parentheses, exponentiation ^、bitwise operations << and >>、scientific notation (e.g. 1.2e2k)

- The UI behavior is consistent for the transmitter, setting the quantity, and other features that use the same input box

-Bookmark Missing: Add missing items to EMI bookmarks with one click

- Missing synthesis: Initiates synthesis even when materials are insufficient; missing materials will be awaited.

-Emitter crafting: In the plan table, ingredients provided by the emitter are separately labeled as "Emitter crafting: quantity" and counted as part of missing crafting.

-Yellow unpushed template Shift + Left Click: Output the coordinates, dimension, and distance of the pattern provider it is in to the chat bar; the coordinates can be clicked to fill in /tp, and highlight in the world for 20 seconds

-Pause feature: pauses ongoing dispatch; patterns that have already been pushed will not be withdrawn; during pause, list entries are displayed in purple and can be resumed at any time

-Search and filter: search by the names of items/fluids used in this crafting (Pinyin supported), and filter by CPU working status (All / Working / Idle)

-Push result marker: shown after the name of entries that failed to push ⚠, hover to view the push result for each pattern

- CPU storage amounts are displayed using compact numbers, so excessively long numbers no longer crowd the layout

-Displays the percentage of items used in this crafting, with four color tiers based on the proportion

- Material search: filter the planning table by item or fluid name, supports pinyin

- Start and Track: The "Start and Track" next to the Start button will notify you in chat after crafting is complete

-Encode and send pattern: Right-click to encode the current recipe and select the destination Pattern Provider

-Scrolls when the title is too long; press Enter to confirm directly

-Enable "Crafting Complete Notification" in the terminal settings, or click "Start and Track" when placing an order; when crafting completes, the product, quantity, and total time will be shown in chat

-Only completion will notify; cancellation will not send a message

-This switch is off by default and is independent of operating system-level system notifications

-Freeze Updates: Freeze terminal contents, refreshing only when items are inserted or removed; network inventory changes no longer cause the list to jump

- Manually pinned items:Alt + Left Click Click an item to pin or unpin it; pinned rows are displayed separately at the top of the list, and the state is saved in config/ae2/pinned_keys.json

-Mode 1 (Block All): Prevent insertion when the container has any contents

-Mode 2 (Block Same Type): Prevent insertion when the container contains one set of crafting materials required by this pattern

-Mode 3 (Block Foreign Types): Prevent insertion while materials pushed by other patterns remain in the container

-Mode 4 (Parallel Blocking): Pause sending when the container still contains materials required by this pattern after parallel dispatch

- For daily use, "Block Different Types" is recommended; this prevents new materials from being stacked in before the previous pattern has been fully consumed by the machine.

-Batch encoding: Put items with material types (such as xx board, xx rod, etc.) into the slots, and the encoding will automatically apply the material type to replaceable items.

-Use EMI to fill recipe: automatically fill the recipe's category name into the pattern search bar; middle-click to configure custom category name mappings, mappings are saved in config/me2in1category.json

-Code to template management terminal: directly code into the blank slot in the current page

- Item Rename: Middle-click on items in the template to rename them.

※ This terminal has a wireless version and can be merged with ae2wtb's Wireless Universal Terminal

-Shift + Left-click to transfer pattern: destination can be switched between "Inventory or Buffer" and "the blank Pattern Management Terminal on the current page"

-Quick Remove Pattern: Click to remove processing patterns with this as the primary output to the buffer slot; Shift + Click will additionally remove processing patterns in its crafting tree that are not used by other patterns

-Auto-encode renamed patterns: When enabled, renamed items will have an additional pattern encoded, with the same quantity as the original pattern

- Panels can be freely dragged and resized (resize from the bottom-right corner); the left toolbar can be collapsed, and all panel positions can be reset with one click

-Right-click 'Encode and Send Pattern' in the Pattern Encoding Terminal to open a draggable destination panel: search by provider name or output; destinations that already have the same pattern are grayed out; click to send the pattern directly there.

-Dynamically replace pattern contents: within each configuration group, priority decreases from left to right; when the pattern is invoked, matching and replacement are performed row by row according to each group's priority. For example, if you enter "Oak Planks, Birch Planks, Spruce Planks", when the pattern requires Birch or Spruce Planks, Oak Planks will be used instead.

-Collect real-time throughput statistics for various IO interfaces and display the time window (seconds) for this statistics

-Can highlight the location of facilities in the world or remotely open the GUI interface of facilities.

- Can freeze the view of the current facility list to prevent it from changing with facility status changes.

-Displays the facility's working status (Idle / Working / Busy) and the number of tasks in the CPU

-Filtering and searching: filter by input/output, working status, or number of CPU tasks, and also by slot items or device icons; the search box supports item names and device names

-Hold Shift + Scroll Wheel to scroll horizontally through the throughput list within a row

-Machine configuration line: GT machines sync their current configuration to the corresponding line displayed in the terminal

- Highlight enhancement: replaces the vanilla black outline with a flashing red outline, so the positions of fluids and sheet-like parts can also be clearly seen

-QOL enhancement: Left-click the arrow to highlight the Pattern Provider/ME Pattern Assembly in the world, right-click to open its interface directly

-Toggle: show only crafting patterns / hide crafting patterns / default

-Pattern encoder statistics: the left toolbar button counts the number of patterns for each encoder and lists processing patterns without encoder information

- When encoding multi-block structures from EMI, the order is automatically invoked.

- In some cases, using it in the production line can be very useful.

- Infinite Types: Removes the type limit of 63 types (items) / 18 types (fluids) for components

-Storage doubled: no longer uses extra bytes for each type, with usable capacity up to nearly twice the original

-Quantity is counted in long; a single component can store more than 2.1 billion items

-After 256K, switch to multiblock ME storage

-ME Supercomputing Core: all 481 internal slots must be filled with Crafting Storage Cores or Crafting Units. Capacity is the sum of all storage core capacities (unlimited when all are T5 Storage Cores), parallelism is the number of storage cores × Parallel Hatch parallelism, and threads are 2 to the power of the glass tier (up to 256)

-ME Supercomputing Core adds a crafting task tab: search and select tasks on the left, view materials (stored / crafting / pending), progress, and estimated time remaining on the right, and supports pausing, resuming, canceling, and highlighting the pattern provider that dispatches that ingredient.

-Super Molecular Assembler: Assembly Matrix Pro Max edition, processes all recipes and all inputs simultaneously each round, outputs go directly into the ME network, each item consumes 1 EU

-ME Storage: a multiblock storage structure not limited by storage type, with capacity expanded by installing storage cores; when capacity exceeds 1T bytes and 64 infinite storage components are installed, it automatically enters infinite capacity mode. Data indexing can be selected as machine or player; when player is selected, such devices of the same player share storage

-Acceleration Card tiers I~V, with each tier's effect being 8 times that of the previous tier (respectively 1 / 8 / 64 / 512 / 4096 times), suitable for transport-type AE buses and IO ports

-The total across all tiers does not exceed the machine's acceleration card limit; higher tiers are counted first

-Sneak-right-click a machine that has reached its limit to directly replace its lowest-tier acceleration card

-The bus compensates according to the tick rate; the more acceleration cards, the greater the amount moved per transfer

-ME all bus enhancement: the amount transferred per operation increases multiplicatively with acceleration cards; combined with tick rate compensation, transfer tasks can be completed in an instant

- Loop pattern detection: automatically detects circular dependencies, lists loops in chat (up to 5 displayed), item IDs can be clicked to copy to clipboard

-ME Extended IO Port Enhancement (EAE): Base throughput is 8× that of the AE IO Port, and supports 5 acceleration cards (up to ×512)

-Quartz cutting blade enhancement: shift+right-click to get the name of any block, right-click backpack item to copy its name.

- Pattern Modifier Pro: Allows setting the multiplier, divisor, item/fluid amount cap, and number of applications; sneak-right-click a Pattern Provider to batch-modify the patterns inside.

- Coder Display: Show coder in processing pattern tooltip
