This mod is an add-on to Automation Aides and adds a device that can automatically craft items from adjacent crafting stations. It also adds a device for stacking foods. Both devices are crafted within the wiring station.
This can be upgraded to a refridgerated version. The autocrafter, as the name suggests, crafts items from recipes provided by the adjacent crafting station. The blue and orange lights on the autocrafter need to be pointing towards the station when placing. Its output node will provide a signal once it detects a valid station. To tell it which item to craft, open up its UI and put an item in the bottom left slot (the item is not consumed) or click the 'money' button next to it (for recipes with money/pixels as its output, like with the refinery). Put the ingredients into the 12 right slots (or automatically feed it with an item transference device) and it will attempt to craft the item, provided the crafting station next to it has a recipe for the item. The output slot is where your resulting items will land, so either you take them out manually or extract them with an aforementioned item transference device connected to this devices output node. Note: this will pause crafting if either the station gets removed, it receives a signal on its first input node or the output slot is filled/occupied.
This device stacks food in a refridgerated storage next to it. Like with the autocrafter, the blue and orange lights on the machine need to be pointing towards it. Please note that this will NOT WORK if you don't have another mod like "Food Stack", which allows for stacking food. Also this acts as an item bridge, so you can connect its second input node and/or its output node to an item network to insert/extract items from the adjacent storage.
Both devices in this mod can be turned on/off by connecting their first input node to a signal (like a switch, console, etc.)
This mod requires "Automation Aides"

For the Food Stacker to function, it is required to install a food stacking mod like "Food Stack"
