The Tally Apprentice

The Apprentice crafts flux recipes on order from an AE2 terminal. Set it right by a Flux Workbench, with an AE2 cable, and beside it a Pattern Provider with a processing pattern "the recipe's items — what is made". It lays the items out as the recipe wants and crafts for whoever set it down: the flux of the place, the shards in the sockets, the entry's knowledge — as in your own hands.

And when you craft yourself: a grid slot emptied by crafting is refilled from the network with the same item — with Shift the workbench crafts while the network has items. Sneak-use the Apprentice with an empty hand to send the grid into the network. It waits if the chunk is dry or the current is missing: the Loupe will tell.
