Ordering system

Hello, I want to ask, if is possible to make some kind of ordering machine, where I can select wirelessly items from my storage (AE network or storage drawers etc.), which I want to be delivered by logistic drone. So ordering station will send signal to request station which is connected to storage network and then it will send logistic drone with my requested item back to ordering station.

Hi there,i know it a very old post,but is it now possible to add this to the mod?

Sorry, it's something I never really got round to... I've given it some thought in the past but it's hard to fit into how the current system works. Not sure when I'll get time to re-visit this, maybe one day.

Ok,thanks for answer.

Interesting idea...

Would the ordering machine be a handheld device or a block?
Would it have a GUI showing all available items in the network? (Defining "network" is another task... AE networks are nothing like a storage drawers inventory for example)

I can sort of envisage a system similar to Logistics Pipes here, is that the kind of system you're thinking of?

It can be just a block, but now it depends how people want to use it, so both ideas are nice and yes it is similar to Logistics pipes. Actually I've posted on github similar request to LP creators about ordering block and they liked it but they are still far away from 1.12. So ordering station can be block with GUI showing available items in network and requesting station will be block connected to network by AE-Me cable and storage drawers by drawer controller.

We have support for AE integration in the form of AE systems being able to "request" items from the logistic network (Pneumaticcraft logistics network for clarity) via "Logistics Requester Frame" attached to an AE Interface (screenshots below). I was thinking that if we could reverse this with a provider frame to read the AE network for items, you could use a player variable via the Remote to request the item. Maybe add another Element that could be dragged into the Remote GUI that would display the item search similar to the item search for item filters, but instead of searching the player's inventory, search the AE network. I know in the past that logistics pipes had trouble reading the ae network but you could go the other way (i.e. AE network could read the logistics pipe network). This could potentially be a ton of work, but if you could search an inventory via variable location set by the player (like the amadrone does for reading if the necessary items are there for trade) and display the item(s) for selection, a player could populate the inventory with items. Without the AE/refined storage etc. integration, though, we would run into redundant functionality/capabilities with existing items.

Hmm. It'd be a bit clunky, but what about using the Amadron tablet? So instead of ordering items from the internet for money, it's ordering items from the logistics system using Pressure - and having teleporting drones deliver the items to you.
