The one killer feature that AE2 and Refined Storage have for me, is the crafting grid/terminal, that integrates crafting items using resources in storage along with requesting autocrafts.

As far as I can see, if I want to start an autocraft from RFTools Control, I have to go to the RFTools Control block that lets me request crafts (I can't recall the name). Would it be possible to add an ability to add known RFtools Control autocrafts to the storage scanner/tablet crafting grid? Or have a new device that combines autocraft requests and crafting? It's frustrating to (say) have a recipe set up for pistons, and yet when I want to make an item that needs a piston in its recipe, go to a different UI to start the autocraft, or just ignore the autocrafting and make the piston manually.

I'm trying a complete playthrough of FTB Beyond with the express intent of not using AE2 or RS, and I'm using RFTools storage, XNet, etc, etc. It's great so far, except I really do miss being able to just configure autocrafts and whenever I'm trying to craft something and I don't have any, e.g, chests in the inventory, just being able to click and request X chests to be crafted. Having a feature like this would make RFTools/etc a complete alternative to "Yet Another AE2/RS Playthrough".
