Just making copy of that request here.

Any progress on this?

commented

Maybe have it work something like this?

  1. Send autocrafting request to AE system, checking for missing materials.
  2. If AE reports missing materials, check LP network for materials and send them into the AE network.
  3. If not wait for result and extract from AE when complete.

Although with the inevitable differences between LP and AE2, some things might need to be taken into account. Like which crafting CPU to use, and if there isn't enough crafting storage for the request.

Although in the second case it might be worked around by spltting the request up into smaller requests that can fit into the crafting storage.
And in the first case, maybe use crafting cpu's in ascending order based on their available crafting storage.

As I am not familiar with the code of LP and the AE2 API, I am uncertain of the feasibility of this. However if this combined with 2 way access between LP & AE would make for almost seamless integration.

Hmm, with the new AE2 crafting system I suppose this might work out somewhat better with it? I don't really understand the intricacies of the LP crafting system so I can't really say... but AE2 can do materials calculation for crafting jobs now...

commented

possibly wrong comments about AE's internals removed.

commented

That's not true of AE2. AE2 reserves items for crafting as well.

There is the mod Logistics Bridge
