Constructing the Extended AE Assembler Matrix Multiblock
guide
The Assembler Matrix in Extended AE is a massive modular multiblock auto-crafting computer that consolidates hundreds of molecular assemblers into a single unified processing mainframe.
Constructing the Assembler Matrix Multiblock Structure
Assembling a functional matrix multiblock requires erecting a hollow cuboid chamber using structural framing blocks:
- Lay out a rectangular base with minimum dimensions of three by three by three blocks, extending up to massive modular configurations.
- Build the outer edges and structural corner columns using rigid metallic
Assembler Matrix Frame blocks. - Fill the flat exterior wall faces using solid
Assembler Matrix Wall blocks or transparent 
Assembler Matrix Glass viewing panels. - The external frame and wall shell form a sealed multiblock container, leaving the entire interior cavity open for functional processing cores.
- Once the structural outer shell is completely enclosed, the multiblock forms an active network boundary that connects directly to ME glass cables.
- Ensure no gaps exist along the external frame edges, as missing casing blocks prevent the multiblock from forming an operational crafting matrix.
- Large matrix designs accommodate dozens of internal processing blocks, scaling auto-crafting throughput to meet mega-factory demands.
Installing Internal Processing and Speed Cores
Filling the hollow interior matrix with specialized processing cores determines the computer's auto-crafting capabilities:
- Place an
Assembler Matrix Pattern Core inside the internal chamber to expand the matrix's encoded recipe capacity. - Install an
Assembler Matrix Craft Core to provide dedicated parallel auto-crafting computation threads. - Fill remaining interior slots with an
Assembler Matrix Speed Core to accelerate recipe assembly speeds exponentially. - Unlike traditional arrays of standalone
Molecular Assembler blocks, the matrix executes multi-step crafting recipes simultaneously in a single tick. - The consolidated architecture drastically reduces server tick lag while providing virtually limitless parallel crafting throughput for mega-bases.
- Balancing craft cores with speed cores ensures instant recipe execution without bottlenecks during large-scale network crafting orders.
- The multiblock's unified inventory bus accepts thousands of raw materials simultaneously, routing items to waiting internal synthesis cores.
- Constructing the matrix at the heart of your industrial complex provides the processing backbone needed to support boundless factory automation.
- Upgrading internal pattern storage enables central computing cores to manage complex, multi-tiered chemical synthesis trees with zero crafting delay.
