Crafting system

[SquidDev]

There are several requirements for the crafting system

• One should be able to define crafting systems, such as smelting or brewing.
• It should always try to use existing resources rather than crafting new ones
• When crafting it should always use the most abundant of the possible resources
• It should attempt to parallelise crafting across multiple turtles, furnaces, etc... as well as scheduling tasks as early as possible: smelting takes loner than crafting so should be started ASAP.

Not sure how feasible it is, but an 'ahead of time' crafting system would be neat. For example, it would detect that you're running low on repeaters, and that you have an abundance of sticks, redstone, and stone, and would craft some repeaters autonomously to avoid you having to wait later on. This could be turned on or off on a per-item or per-category basis, to avoid it spam-crafting diamond pickaxes, for example. Might even be possible to build in some AI as a prediction system.

It could be like the Refined Storage crafting system, and the requester addon for it where you could have a config which states the lowest amount of a certain item and if there isn't enough it tries to craft more

Is this still being worked on? What are the main obstacles in the way of allowing this to be made?

Mostly I haven't come up with a nice way of solving crafting recipes. I've some ideas, but not spent any time hashing them out.

ah understandable, tbh my idea would be to have a turtle have a pattern creation mode and then storing that in a file somewhere

Linking for funsies more than anything else. I think there's some smart things we could do with graph search, so would be worth looking into!
