im trying to autocraft a recipe that uses alot of nuggets using applied energetics 2 but it wont allow me as there is a issue with how the compacting drawers report their contents to the ae system (its reported 3 times basically) it would be nice if there was a upgrade that would allow you to select what slot to report

AE2 can already make this work by configuring your ME Storage Bus with a partition that only includes the nuggets and configuring it to not report inaccessible items.

I'm surprised if you really don't want the nuggets, ingots, and blocks to be available. Maybe you have already made 3 drawers and you want each one to only expose one thing? If not, it probably makes sense to upgrade your compacting drawer and store a lot more items in it before you do the craft, then you will run less risk of overusing your resources.
