Minecraft – How to teach the ME System to distinguish between two different identical materials

minecraft-feed-the-beastminecraft-java-edition

I have an ME Crafting system set up, and it's quite extensive, I'm proud of it. However it does have its flaws. One is that it cannot seem to distinguish at times between two different materials, that are the same, but from different mods. IE: Steel. I have two different kinds of Steel Ingots, however when it autocrafts my Industrial Steam Engines, it only looks for the Steel Ingot from one of the mods, I have over 200 Ingots from a different mod, and it completly ignores them. Is my only solution to create two different patterns, each using the ingots from a different mod?

I am playing with a hybrid Unhinged/Unleashed pack.

I have every mod in Unhinged installed and these mods as well from Unleashed:

  • Adv Power Management
  • Adv Solar Panels
  • Biblio Craft Mods (all three)
  • Binnies Mods
  • Computer Craft
  • Damage Indicators
  • Equivalent Exchange 3
  • Extra Utilities
  • GraviSuite
  • Magic Bees
  • Misc Periphreals
  • ObsidiPlates
  • Plugins for Forestry
  • Soul Shards
  • ThaumCraft

I also installed:

  • Logistics Pipes
  • Infernal Mobs
  • Adv Machines

Try using the Forge Lexicon to convert all your steel and put it back into the system you can read about the making of one the wiki.
