When an AE2 Interface is pointing at a Packager, the Interface's blocking mode does not work.

This makes it difficult if one wants to e.g. have the Packager create packages that are then moved to a suite of Unpackagers outside of the AE network, such as for task parallelization.

The only way to fix this issue is to make items already inputted into the packager extractable, which I consider to be a bad thing. Judging from your use case, the better solution id to make an in-game option to let packagers not put packages automatically back into the ME system, so that the packages can be moved to other places more easily, and I will certainly look into that.

Thanks! I do think that would address my (and others') need.

Are you sure about this? When I think of machines like the EIO alloy smelter or any Thermal Expansion machine, one cannot pull from the input slots, only the outputs. I realize this mod is not those mods so there could be other factors at play.

This and #11 were both encountered in the course of trying to accomplish the same thing. If it's all the same to you, #11 is more important because it allows one to achieve the goal without creating AE2 patterns. Having this the functionality in this issue would still require one to create both a packagedauto recipe and an AE2 pattern for every craft.
