gollark: Yes, I had that much, it's not that hard to guess.
gollark: I implemented a simple naïve thing which assumed there was one pattern per item to make and that it was generally best to craft as little as possible, which are both completely wrong.
gollark: The problem is that I'm looking to implement it (in CC, though).
gollark: I've recently heard that AE2-style autocrafting (in Minecraft: ask if you don't know about it) is actually very hard. The bit about picking what crafting tasks to do in what order, I mean. Can someone explain a bit more?
gollark: As well as being dubiously faster, it's a good compilation target.
