Functionality¶

The RS and ME Bridge now share the same functionality. Check this Guide for the whole documentation for every available feature.

Examples¶

Requester¶

The requester is a successor for the old "Automatic Autocrafting" script which uses the old ME Bridge functions. It currently only works with AP on 1.21.1 or on 1.19.2 0.8 and supports both the ME and the RS Bridge at the same time.

This script automatically schedules crafting jobs for pre-defined items, fluids and mekanism chemicals Do you want 500 glass in your me system at all times? Add glass to the list and the script will craft it for you. No need for level emitters or crafting cards!

You can find instructions on how to install the script here

Automatic Autocrafting¶

This script automatically crafts items in a list. Do you want 500 glass in your me system at all times? Add glass to the list and the script will craft it for you. No need for level emitters or crafting cards!

You can find instructions on how to install the script here

ME Crafting CPUs¶

This script shows you some statistics about the ME crafting cpus.

You can find instructions on how to install the script here
