ive tried everything to automate the assembly machine with ae2 and i have only half made it possible
i had to use opencomputers and everything i could get my greasy hands on

robots cant move the stuff in the inventory only read from it ive tried everything to make it extract, my setup works by having hoppers inputting to the output and input of the assembly machine (yes, a hopper needs to be facing the output side implying that its inserting items into the output, that is the only way for template to be able to be insertable into the machine idk why that is but ive figured its the only way) and you have your interface with the patterns have the items and template go into the input side hopper and it crafts. the opencomputers stuff does magic to know when its done, import it, and then the robot is sent a modem message to mine the assembly machine (there is no way to take the template out, so breaking it works) then input the stuff (template, assembly machine that was mined) into the system, and a formation plane re places the assembly machine. that is a mouth full, and it 'works' but if i request more than 1 item the system thinks it needs more than 1 template.

i have spent a ridiculous amount of time on this and i dont want to place 300 assembly factories for all the stuff i want to be requestable
if anyone wants the code for the opencomputers stuff (idek why you would) just ask ig..

This. Add this.
