[PO3] Poor man's AE with Xnet, RFtools, and storage drawers?

PneumaticCraft drones and Programable Controller can be used to simulate player behavior, which can be used to automate anything a player would normally do. This means picking up items (from storage or machines), depositing items (to storage or machines), and even have their own crafting table operations.

You can tell drones to wait until an inventory has a certain amount of a specific item before kicking on (passive on-demand crafting), or wait for a block to be in a specific place (like a on a piston in the extended position) for active on-demand crafting, or simply ignore creating these triggers for passive always-on autocrafting.

Not only can you automate crafting, you can also automate building. You can tell drones to build a simple shape, or even go so far as have them place a light source every 5 blocks in in a 3D space at the bottom of the ocean.

Of course you can also give them a tool and have them mine if you want, either specific blocks or just quarry a whole area, but other mods usually do that faster.

TLDR: you have Pneumatic Craft, and Pneumatic Craft is always the most overpowered mod in any pack it's in.
