Overview

Applied Energistics: Crystal Science (AECS) is an addon for Applied Energistics 2 that brings back the Purified Crystal concept and builds a full progression around it.

With a production chain of Dust → Seeds → Growth and dedicated machines (Grindstone / Pulverizer / Growth Chamber / Aggregator), you can mass-produce purified crystals for mid-to-late game crafting and energy generation.
On the other side, AECS adds stronger pattern execution and wireless channel solutions (Meteorite/Resonating Pattern Providers, Ender Emitter & Ender Broadcaster) to build more powerful automation.

All items and blocks added by AECS including crystals, machines, tools, and ME devices


Features

1) Purified Crystal Progression

Dust → Seeds → Growth

Quartz Grindstone interface showing dust processing for purified crystal production Crafting recipes for crystal seeds made from processed dust Crystal seeds placed in growth environment before maturation Multiple growth stages of purified crystal seeds until fully grown crystals

2) Crystal Tools

Ender / Meteorite / Resonating toolsets.

Crystal-based toolsets including Ender, Meteorite, and Resonating variants

3) Machine Side Configuration

Configure each face for input/output/bidirectional/disabled, and automate import/export behavior.

Machine side configuration GUI showing per-face input and output settings

4) Quartz Grindstone

Kickstart dust production with a simple, low-tech grinder.
