Most items in the pack won't have EMC values, but Dark Matter and Red Matter can be used for more than EMC. Either of these can be converted into a TON of Matter using the Disintegrator.

Asks for: Dark Matter, Red Matter

If you want to replicate an item based on stored matter, you will first need to learn how to make it using the Identification Chamber. The chamber will need a Memory Chip to remember how to make the item. Each chip can save up to 16 items. By placing a Chip Storage on top of the Identification Chamber, it will automatically push the chips into the storage when full.

The Replication Terminal allows you to request items to be replicated. The Terminal will show you the items you have stored on Memory Chips within your network, as well as the total amount of matter stored in Matter Tanks on the right side.

Asks for: Replication Terminal

Replicators can be sped up using Replicator Enclosures, which can be Sneak+Right-clicked onto the Replicator to install it. You can also configure speeds by installing a Replicator Motor. To craft the motor, you'll need to first craft the Matter Blueprint for the motor. Place this into an Identification Chamber with a Memory Chip to teach your system how to replicate it, then craft it from the Replication Terminal. Once installed into a Replicator, you can configure its speed. The fastest it can go is 20%, but increases the chance for the replication to fail.

Asks for: Matter Blueprint, Replicator Enclosure, Replicator Motor

Replication: Matter Overflow allows you to craft Overflow Tanks that will automatically void excess matter of its set type. You should make one for each matter type and lock them so that excess matter always has somewhere to go and won't overflow into other tanks in your network.

Asks for: Matter Overflow Tank

Chickens have Tiers depending on the resource they can create. This Tier determines what tier of seed that they will need to eat. These seeds require Souls to make. You'll need to make a Soul Extractor to extract tiered souls from chickens to make the seeds. Thankfully, you will only need one seed of each tier, then you can plant them and squat-grow them! Note: The World Engine can also craft soul upgrades.

Asks for: Chicken Seed Tier 1, Soul Extractor

By making a Soul Vial, you can Sneak+Right-click on a mob to capture its soul. You can combine this soul with a Broken Spawner inside of a Soul Binder to infuse the spawner with that mob's soul.

Hostile Neural Networks (or HNN for short) allows you to collect data from a mob to harvest its drops in the form of Predictions. To get started with the mod, start off by creating a Model Framework and right-clicking it on a mob to gather its Data Model. Next, you'll want to craft a Deep Learner and place the Data Model inside of it. Once inside, every kill for that mob will allow you to improve the Data Model. Note: You will need the Chroniton Glass World Engine Upgrade to use this mod.

Asks for: Model Framework, Deep Learner

Once you have a Data Model for a mob, you'll need to level it up to at least the Basic tier by killing that type of mob. When provided with a Prediction Matrix and power, the Simulation Chamber will run simulations as if you were killing that specific mob. If the simulation fails, you'll get a Generalized Prediction. If it succeeds, you'll get that mob's Prediction. The Simulation Chamber has two modes: Training Mode runs simulations that upgrade the model's data and Inference Mode produces predictions, but doesn't upgrade the model. This Prediction can be run through a Loot Fabricator to create loot! You can also switch the Loot Fabricator to Queue Mode, which lets you cycle through a list of outputs instead of producing only one fixed drop.

Asks for: Loot Fabricator, Prediction Matrix, Simulation Chamber

The Data Center multiblock is a 7x7x7 structure that runs up to 25 Self Aware data models at the same time. The multiblock is built with a 7x7 Obsidian platform at the bottom and Black Stained Glass walls, leaving the interior hollow. Then, the Data Center block and 3 IO Ports must be placed on the outer bottom layer, each configured to a different mode: Energy, Inputs, Outputs. You can optionally add a fourth Port confiured to Models for automatic input of data models, but this is not required. If built correctly, a blue outline will display around the multiblock, otherwise you can click the main Data Model block for more details. You can also check out the Data Center GuideMe, for an example structure.
