Blank Pattern (Applied Energistics 2)

The Blank Pattern is an item added by the Applied Energistics 2. It can be encoded with a crafting or processing recipe using an ME Pattern Terminal. A blank pattern, once encoded as an Encoded Pattern, is used to control crafting by inserting them into Molecular Assemblers and ME Interfaces.

The item produced by the recipe will then appear in the ME Terminal with the word 'craft' next to it instead of a quantity, when no more of that item is available in the ME Storage. Clicking this item will bring up a job order interface for the Player to enter the number of the item desired.
