XACT is mod focused on the crafting process. It aims to ease the constructor of complex builds by simplifying the tedious and repetitive task of crafting the building components. No longer will you have to manually place the recipe's ingredients on their respective slots on the crafting grid, because XACT will do it for you. Neither will you need to remember the recipes, because XACT can encode any recipe into a Recipe Chip, which is portable.With XACT, you no longer have the need to spend hours on your crafting room, since your recipes will already be stored on your XACT Crafter Machines. Once you have set up your XACT Crafter(s), it's now a matter of simply passing by, pick up your items as if they where on a chest already, and moving on to your building ground.The best of XACT surely is it's portability. The XACT Craft Pad is your best bet for when you are not at home, because it can work as a regular workbench, but it's portable! Also, it can read the recipes from the Recipe Chips, and keeps stored the last recipe you used; but also has a button clear the crafting grid, because we all know that's annoying.
Features
Portability: You can carry around a portable crafting tool anywhere you go. Simply bring your Craft Pad with you anywhere you go and right click it to open it's User Interface (GUI), which has a crafting grid.
Easy crafting: Ever thought that, in order to craft multiple items, manually placing the ingredients on the exact quantities on the grid was a lot of trouble? The XACT Crafter is the stationary, heavy use, crafting machine that relieves that pain off your back. Once a recipe is set, it will take the ingredients from the resources buffer into the grid, so you can craft as many sets as you want, without having anything to worry too much about.
Missing Ingredients: The crafting devices will let you know if you are missing ingredients for your crafts. The grid slots missing ingredients will become red.
Store Recipes: Modded Minecraft adds a lot of game-play, but also a lot of recipes. Since some of them are frequently used a lot, XACT let's you store your frequently-used recipes into Recipe Chips. You can carry them around with you on the Chip Case, which can hold up to 30 recipes.
Automation: You can keep the resources for the XACT Crafter supplied through Buildcraft Pipes or RP2 Tubes (feed from any side).
NEI integration: Import recipes into the crafting grid directly from NEI.
Modular Powersuits integration: You can install the CraftPad module into the MPS Power Gauntlet, so you always carrying a smart crafting table with you.
The vanilla workbench is now able to keep it's contents after the GUI is closed.
Did I mentioned that holding shift on the GUIs might reveal something that is hidden?
