Polymorphic Energistics in Project Infinity 0.1

Polymorphic Energistics is a small add-on that brings Polymorph support to Applied Energistics 2. It covers two terminals: the Crafting Terminal and the Pattern Encoding Terminal.^[1]

Here is the problem it solves. Sometimes more than one crafting recipe fits the same ingredients. Without this add-on, AE2 forces you to work with only one of those conflicting recipes. With it, Polymorph's recipe selection button shows up in both terminals, so you can choose which recipe you actually want.^[1]

In this pack

The pack includes Polymorphic Energistics 0.1.1-1.20.1, shipped as the file polyeng-forge-0.1.1-1.20.1.jar. It was already in the pack by version 0.0.45.4 or earlier.^[2]

It is an add-on to AE2 rather than a standalone system, so you will mostly notice it as that extra recipe selection button when you work in a Crafting Terminal or Pattern Encoding Terminal.^[1]

Unverified Where the pack's quest book places this mod (its chapter, group and neighbouring quests), and whether the ATM Star path uses it, is not shown by the sources here. That detail lives in the pack's quest book, so check there.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Good news: there's nothing to craft to get started with Polymorphic Energistics. It's an add-on that adds Polymorph support to two Applied Energistics 2 terminals, the Crafting Terminal and the Pattern Encoding Terminal.^[1]

What it does for you

When two crafting recipes conflict, Applied Energistics 2 on its own forces you to work with just one of them. This add-on puts Polymorph's recipe selection button on those two terminals, so you can choose which of the conflicting recipes you want.^[1]

Your first steps

1. Set up Applied Energistics 2 and get a Crafting Terminal or a Pattern Encoding Terminal. The add-on works through these two terminals, so you need at least one of them.^[1]
2. Open the terminal and look for Polymorph's recipe selection button. It's what you use to pick between conflicting crafting recipes.^[1]
3. When you hit a recipe conflict, choose the version you want with that button. This applies both when crafting and when encoding patterns.^[1]

Unverified I couldn't confirm any in-pack recipes, quests, config options or items for this add-on, so there are no recipe blocks here. Where exactly the button sits on each terminal and how it behaves in detail is also unverified.

Polymorphic Energistics is a small add-on, so there are no machines, multiblocks or power systems to learn here. It adds Polymorph support to two Applied Energistics 2 terminals: the Crafting Terminal and the Pattern Encoding Terminal.^[1]

What it changes

Normally, when several crafting recipes conflict (same ingredients, different results), AE2 forces you to work with only one of them. With this mod, both terminals get Polymorph's recipe selection button, so you can choose which of the conflicting recipes you want.^[1]

• Crafting Terminal: gets Polymorph's recipe selection button, so you can pick between conflicting crafting recipes.^[1]
• Pattern Encoding Terminal: gets the same button, so you can choose the recipe you want before encoding a crafting pattern.^[1]

What the sources don't cover

Unverified The available information doesn't describe how the button looks or behaves in detail, and it doesn't cover any config options, power or fluid handling, or automation behavior for this mod. In this pack, no config files or recipes for the mod's own items were found, so treat anything beyond the terminal button as unconfirmed.

There isn't much version history to cover for Polymorphic Energistics in this pack. Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.51.4-hotfix-2 ships version 0.1.1-1.20.1, and the mod has been in the pack since 0.0.45.4 or earlier.^[2]

Mod changelog

The pack changelogs have no entries for this mod, so there is no record there of when it was added or updated.^[2]
