\/>\n<\/p>\n<p>## Overview<\/p>\n<p>**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.<\/p>\n<p>With a production chain of **Dust \u2192 Seeds \u2192 Growth** and dedicated machines (Grindstone \/ Pulverizer \/ Growth Chamber \/ Aggregator), you can mass-produce purified crystals for mid-to-late game crafting and energy generation.<br \/>\nOn the other side, AECS adds stronger pattern execution and wireless channel solutions (Meteorite\/Resonating Pattern Providers, Ender Emitter &#038; Ender Broadcaster) to build more powerful automation.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\"\n    src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/QAPoFkY.png\"\n
