What is ME Requester?
1 part
ME Requester is an Applied Energistics 2 add-on that keeps items and fluids in stock in your ME system. You set a target amount, and when the stock drops below it, the system requests more. This pack includes version 1.21.1-1.5.0 of the mod.[1][2][3]
Place a ME Requester on the same network as your autocrafting setup. By default one block hosts 5 requests, and the mod lets you configure the slot count, the channel usage and the idle energy usage. The pack's own config values aren't in the sources I have, so check the config if you need exact numbers.[1][3]
The Requester only automates the asking. Whatever you want stocked still needs a pattern, because the ME system does the actual crafting.[3]
You can place as many Requesters as you like. The ME Requester Terminal gives you remote access to every Requester on the network, so you can configure and monitor all your requests from one spot.[1][3]
Where it sits in the quest book
The quest book covers it in "Requesters" quest, in the "General Storage" chapter. That chapter is chapter 7 of 31 in the group "Resources & Logistics" and has 146 quests. The quest is completed by obtaining either the Requester or the Requester Terminal, and it comes after a quest called "The Autocrafting Multiblock".[4]
The quest's example is telling the Requester to keep 20 crafting tables in stock. If your count drops below that, it triggers crafting, as long as your system knows the recipe. The quest also mentions that level emitters and redstone cards on interfaces set to export a set amount of ingredients can do something similar.[4]
The same chapter has "Quantum Crafter" quest, which describes the Quantum Crafter as acting like a Molecular Assembler, a Pattern Provider and an ME Requester in one. That quest comes after "Quantum Autocrafting". Most of the chapter's quests aren't covered here, so the rest of what comes before and after is in the quest book.[4]
How do you get started with ME Requester?
6 parts
The ME Requester automatically keeps items and fluids in stock by requesting new crafts when needed. It has to be connected to an ME network, which is where the crafting actually happens.[1][5]
Step 1: Make the ME Requester
Your first craft is the ME Requester. The pack changed this recipe, so check the one below rather than relying on what you remember from the mod's defaults.[6]
Crafting Shaped

Recipe id: merequester:requester
Place it and connect it to your ME network.[5]
Step 2: Make sure your system can craft the item
The Requester only automates the asking. Your ME system does the crafting, so connect the Requester to the same network as your autocrafting logic, the one that hosts your Crafting CPUs. An item you want kept in stock needs a pattern and must be craftable when you request it as a player. With no pattern, the request just sits idle. You can also temporarily disable a row with its checkbox, and a row that is currently crafting has its settings locked.[3][5]
Step 3: Set up your first request
Open the Requester and each row is one request. Drag an item into the ghost slot, enter the Amount to Stock and a Batch Size, then press Enter or click the submit button on that row. The batch size is how much it requests once stock falls below your amount, which puts less stress on your Crafting CPUs than many individual jobs. The checkbox on the left can temporarily switch a row off while you are still editing it, and the status bar shows when a job is currently being crafted.[3]
In this pack a single Requester holds 5 requests, the same as the mod default. The config allows anything from 1 to 64 in requester.requests. The Requester also needs an ME channel to work, per requester.require_channel, which is set to true here.[7]
Step 4: Add the Requester Terminal
Once you have a few Requesters, the ME Requester Terminal lets you access the Requesters in the same network from one central point. It has the same features as the Requester, so you can also search for a specific request, temporarily disable a row, or see when a job is currently being crafted. Requesters share the same name by default, so their requests are grouped under one header. If you want separate groups, rename them in an anvil.[3][5]

In the quest book
The "Requesters" quest quest is in the General Storage chapter, in the Resources & Logistics group (chapter 7 of 31). It comes after The Autocrafting Multiblock and asks for the Requester or the Requester Terminal. Its example is keeping 20 crafting tables in stock, and it mentions that level emitters with redstone cards on interfaces can do something similar.[4]
How does ME Requester work?
6 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
The ME Requester keeps items and fluids in stock inside your Applied Energistics 2 ME system. You tell it what you want and how much. While a request is enabled, it asks your network to craft more whenever the stock falls below that amount. It only automates the requesting. The crafting itself is still done by your ME system. You can also temporarily disable a single request if you need to.[1][8]
Setting it up
Place the requester and connect it to your network. Make sure it is the same network where your autocrafting logic is currently located, the one that hosts your Crafting CPUs.[8]
One requester hosts 5 requests by default, and every row of its GUI is one request. You can place as many requesters as you like. The mod lets you configure the number of slots per block, its channel usage and its idle energy usage.[1][8]
Unverified Those settings are adjustable in the mod's config, but the sources here do not show a config file for this mod in the pack, so whether the pack changes the default of 5 slots, the channel usage or the idle energy usage is not confirmed.
Anatomy of a request row
- Toggle checkbox: turns that one request on or off. While it is off, no checks run and the stock isn't maintained. It's handy for temporarily pausing a request, or for stopping the requester from emitting crafting jobs while you're still editing a row.[8]
- What to stock: a ghost slot that does not hold actual items. Drag an item in and right click to set the amount to 1, or left click to use the amount of the stack you're dragging. With a fluid bucket, right click sets the contained fluid and left click sets the bucket itself. Shift-click also sets the item type quickly, and you can drag from recipe viewers that Applied Energistics supports.[8]
- Amount to stock: the threshold. Pick what to stock first, then enter the value. For fluids the field adapts, for example showing a B for buckets. When the amount currently in stock falls below this number, the requester asks for more. The field only accepts whole numbers.[8][9]
- Batch size: how much is requested once the amount currently in stock drops below the threshold. The full batch is requested at once instead of many small jobs, which puts less stress on your Crafting CPUs and the machines in the craft.[8]
- Submit: press Enter or click the submit button on that row to apply your changes. Values you've typed but not submitted only belong to the row you're currently editing: clicking into any other row resets them to their previous state.[8]
Reading the status bar
The bar under the input boxes shows what each request is doing right now.[8]
- Gray, Empty: the row is currently disabled (for example because you temporarily switched it off) or nothing to stock has been set.[8]
- Green, Idling: the target amount is already reached, or the configured request currently has no pattern.[8][9]
- Red, Missing Ingredients: the system is currently missing the ingredients to start the job. It carries on as soon as enough ingredients show up.[8][9]
- Yellow, Crafting: the job is running and the requester waits for it to finish. If the system can't find a suitable CPU, the process continues once one is found.[8][9]
- Purple, Exporting: the requester has received all results of the job and is currently trying to export them into your storage. This status is usually not visible. If it stays for a long time, your storage has no free space.[8][9]
The requester block changes its appearance while any of its requests is currently in a status other than idle or empty. That lets you spot active requesters at a glance.[8]
Moving and copying settings
A requester loses its configuration when you break it. You can copy its settings with a Memory Card.[9]
The terminal
The ME Requester Terminal gives you access to every requester on the same network from one place. It has the same features as the requester itself, so you can configure requests and monitor their status remotely. It also lets you search for a specific request.[1][8]
By default all requesters have the same name, so their requests are grouped under one header in the terminal. If you want separate groups, you can rename the requesters in an anvil.[8]

How do you progress through ME Requester?
4 parts
In this pack the mod gives you a short chain of items: the ME Requester, then the ME Requester Terminal, then the Wireless Requester Terminal. Each step builds on the one before it, and the recipes are shown below.[6]
Step 1: the ME Requester
This is the block that keeps things in stock. The pack has changed its recipe from the mod's own, so follow this one rather than any recipe you remember from another pack.[6]

Recipe id: merequester:requester
The pack has changed this recipe from the mod's own.
Place it on the same ME network that holds your autocrafting setup. It only automates the requesting. The items or fluids you want kept in stock still need a pattern, because your ME system does the crafting.[3]
Step 2: the ME Requester Terminal
Once you have several requesters on a network, the terminal lets you reach the requesters on that same network from a central point. It has the same features as the requester and lets you search for a specific request. All requesters share the same name by default, so their requests are grouped under one header. Rename a requester in an anvil if you want it to appear as its own group.[3]

Step 3: the Wireless Requester Terminal
This is the last item in the chain. Its recipe is the mod's own, and it builds on the terminal.[6]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: merequester:wireless/wireless_requester_terminal
This is the mod's own recipe, not changed by the pack.
In the quest book
The quest "Requesters" quest is in the General Storage chapter. That chapter is in the Resources & Logistics group and is chapter 7 of 31 in the book. It comes after the quest The Autocrafting Multiblock, and you complete it by having either the requester or the terminal. The wireless terminal is not one of its tasks.[4]
The quest gives an example: tell the requester to keep 20 crafting tables in stock, and when your network drops below 20 it triggers crafting, as long as your system knows the recipe. It also points out that level emitters and redstone cards on interfaces set to export a set amount of ingredients can do something similar.[4]
The quest "Quantum Crafter" quest describes the Quantum Crafter as acting like a Molecular Assembler, a Pattern Provider and an ME Requester all in one. It can only store 9 patterns in total.[4]
The General Storage chapter has 46 more quests whose text isn't shown here, so check the quest book itself for those.[4]
How does ME Requester work with other mods?
3 parts
The ME Requester is an add-on for Applied Energistics 2, so nearly everything it connects to in this pack is part of your ME network or the AE2 wireless terminals. It only automates the requesting. The crafting itself is still done by your ME system.[3][6]
Crafting it from AE2 parts
The pack changed the recipe for the ME Requester, so follow this one rather than the mod's default.[6]
Crafting Shaped

Recipe id: merequester:requester
The ME Requester Terminal is built from the requester plus AE2 parts. It gives you remote access to every requester on the same network.[3][6]

Combining with other wireless terminals
Three combine recipes, which use the AE2 wireless terminal add-on's combine recipe type, merge the Wireless Requester Terminal with other AE2 wireless terminals: the Wireless Pattern Access Terminal, the Wireless Crafting Terminal and the Wireless Pattern Encoding Terminal.[6]

Unverified The recipe data for these three combine recipes does not show what they output, so the exact resulting item is unconfirmed.
In the quest book
The quest "Requesters" quest sits in the General Storage chapter, in the Resources & Logistics group (chapter 7 of 31 in the book). It comes after The Autocrafting Multiblock and asks for either the requester or the requester terminal.[4]
It explains the idea with an example: ask for 20 crafting tables to be kept in stock, and the requester triggers crafting whenever the network drops below 20, as long as your system knows the recipe. It also points out that you can get similar behaviour with level emitters and redstone cards on interfaces set to export a set amount.[4]
Another quest in the same chapter, "Quantum Crafter" quest, follows Quantum Autocrafting. It describes the Quantum Crafter as acting like a Molecular Assembler, a Pattern Provider and an ME Requester all in one, with a limit of 9 patterns.[4]
The General Storage chapter has 146 quests, and the text of most of them isn't covered here, so check the quest book for the rest.[4]
Which FTB Skies 2: Aero quests use ME Requester?
3 parts
The ME Requester has one quest of its own, and it sits in the "General Storage" chapter. That is chapter 7 of 31 in the quest book, in the "Resources & Logistics" group. The chapter has 146 quests and mixes Applied Energistics, Refined Storage 2, drawers, backpacks and more. A few of its quests are not covered here, so check the quest book for anything this page skips.[4]
The Requesters quest
"Requesters" quest asks you to get either the ME Requester or the ME Requester Terminal. Its text explains that the requester lets you set thresholds for items to keep in stock. The example it gives is keeping 20 crafting tables in the network: if you drop below 20, it triggers crafting automatically, as long as you've taught your system the recipe.[4]
The quest also points out an alternative: level emitters and redstone cards on interfaces set to export a set amount of ingredients can do similar work.[4]
The path that leads there
The quest book unlocks it through a single line of Applied Energistics quests. Each step comes after the previous one:[4]
- "Getting Started With Applied Energistics!" quest is the start of the AE2 line and asks for the Charger.[4]
- "A Certain Quartz" quest covers getting Certus Quartz.[4]
- "Certus Quartz Budding" quest covers budding Certus Quartz.[4]
- "Inscribing Processors" quest introduces the Inscriber and printed processors.[4]
- "Silicon" quest is about Printed Silicon.[4]
- "Completing Processors" quest is about finishing the processors.[4]
- "Cables and Channels" quest explains cables and channels.[4]
- "The Start of Digital Storage!" quest is about the ME Drive and storage cells.[4]
- "Autocrafting" quest asks for the Crafting Unit.[4]
- "The Autocrafting Multiblock" quest is about building the Crafting CPU multiblock, with crafting storage and Co-Processors.[4]
- "Requesters" quest is the Requesters quest.[4]
The requester only triggers crafting if your system already knows the recipe, so the quests in between are worth doing first. "Creating Patterns" quest covers creating patterns and also follows the Autocrafting quest.[4]
A related quest
"Quantum Crafter" quest describes the Quantum Crafter, which acts like a Molecular Assembler, a Pattern Provider and an ME Requester all in one. It can keep stock of multiple items at once, but it can only store 9 patterns. It comes after "Quantum Autocrafting" quest.[4]
Which ME Requester config options matter?
Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide
The ME Requester's common config file covers how many requests it holds, how much power it drains while idle, and whether it needs a channel. Two of these the pack leaves at the mod's default. The channel option has no default listed in the pack's config data, so I can't say whether the pack changed it.[11]
- requester.requests is set to 5 in this pack, which matches the mod default. It sets how many requests a single ME Requester can hold, and the allowed range is 1 to 64.[11]
- requester.idle_energy is set to 5 in this pack, also the mod default. This is the amount of energy (in AE) the ME Requester drains from your ME network while idle.[11]
- requester.require_channel is set to true in this pack. It controls whether the ME Requester requires an ME network channel to function.[11]
What changed in ME Requester between versions?
2 parts
FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.10.0 ships ME Requester 1.21.1-1.5.0. The mod has been in the pack since 1.0.3 or earlier, so you've had it for pretty much the whole life of the pack.[2]
