AE2 Crystal Science

Overview

Applied Energistics: Crystal Science (AECS) is an addon for Applied Energistics 2 that brings back the Purified Crystal concept and builds a full progression around it.

With a production chain of Dust → Seeds → Growth and dedicated machines (Grindstone / Pulverizer / Growth Chamber / Aggregator), you can mass-produce purified crystals for mid-to-late game crafting and energy generation. On the other side, AECS adds stronger pattern execution and wireless channel solutions (Meteorite/Resonating Pattern Providers, Ender Emitter & Ender Broadcaster) to build more powerful automation.

Features

1) Purified Crystal Progression

Dust → Seeds → Growth

2) Crystal Tools

Ender / Meteorite / Resonating toolsets.

3) Machine Side Configuration

Configure each face for input/output/bidirectional/disabled, and automate import/export behavior.

4) Quartz Grindstone

Kickstart dust production with a simple, low-tech grinder.

5) Crystal Pulverizer

Higher throughput crushing with automation-friendly IO and upgrades.

6) Crystal Growth Chamber

Grow stacks of seeds in parallel—built for scaling and speed upgrades.

7) Crystal Aggregator

A central machine for key recipes and high-efficiency seed scaling.

8) Circuit Etcher

Simplifies processor crafting by consolidating steps into a dedicated machine.

9) Meteorite Pattern Provider

Processes crafting patterns internally and provides 63 pattern slots for large-scale automation.

10) Resonating Pattern System

Assign per-ingredient destinations/sides for advanced routing and complex factories.

11) Ender Broadcaster

A wireless channel system that centralizes channel management and allocates channels on demand.
