Assembler Matrix is a multiblock structure. It is an combination of <ItemLink id="ae2:molecular_assembler" /> and <ItemLink id="ae2:pattern_provider" />.
It can run a lot crafting jobs at the same (with enough <ItemLink id="ae2:crafting_accelerator" />s in your ME network) and save channels for you.

## Structure

<GameScene zoom="3" background="transparent" interactive={true}>
  <ImportStructure src="../structure/assembler_matrix.snbt"></ImportStructure>
</GameScene>

It is a rectangular prism, with edge lengths between 3 and 7. 
- Edges composed of Assembler Matrix Frame.
- Faces composed of Assembler Matrix Wall.
- Interior composed of Assembler Matrix Pattern/Craft/Speed Core.

A valid Assembler Matrix must contain at least one pattern core and craft core. 
When Assembler Matrix is correctly formed and powered, the lines on Assembler Matrix Frame will turn blue.

## Assembler Matrix Core

There are 3 different Assembler Matrix Cores.

- Assembler Matrix Pattern Core

Assembler Matrix only take patterns from its pattern core. Each pattern core provides 36 pattern slots for Assembler Matrix.

- Assembler Matrix Craft Core

Assembler Matrix will assign the received crafting jobs to its craft core. Each craft core can run 8 crafting jobs at the same time.

- Assembler Matrix Speed Core

It is the <ItemLink id="ae2:speed_card" /> for Assembler Matrix. 5 speed cores allow the Assembler Matrix to run at full speed.
Installing more than 5 speed cores won't give extra speed boost.

## GUI
