+It's been a while, but I just posted some new stuff for Crafting Guide. First, a volunteer took on the rather daunting
+task of adding Forestry support!  It's all there in all its glorious plethora of species. Major kudos to Sheldon Griffin
+for making it happen.
+
+Second, I've just finished the coding to majorly improve the item pages. Now, its possible to add a markdown description
+of the item (including images) as well as videos for each item. Of course, actually filling in the content is a whole
+different kettle of fish.  The Buildcraft guys have generously given me permission to copy in their content, so I'm
+going to be busy doing that for a while. However, you can see the finished product for the

+The architect table is the block able to record portions of world in blueprints and templates. The portion of the world
+to be recorded can be defined by a set of land marks. The recording time will depend on the size of the world to record.
+
+# Template Recording
+
+Recording a template is relatively simple. Each non-soft block present in the area will be considered as opaque, all
+other ones will be clear. Options on the left-end side of the architect table are ineffective when recording a template.
+
+# Blueprint Recording
+
+When recording the contents of an area in a blueprint, the architect table will look at every block and supported
+entity in the recording area and decide to store it or not - and how to store it - according to the rules of its
+schematic. It will also record the necessary requirements to build that block or entity back in the world.
+
+One of the issues with recording a blueprint is third party mod contents inside the blueprint. Many mods don't offer
+explicit support for blueprints yet. Blueprints will have some default capabilities which will allow support to simple
+foreign blocks, but this support will be quite limited. If you don't have any specific information on the status of
+support, it's a good idea to try out things before recording the blueprint.
+
+Recording options on the left allow to mitigate these issues (among other things):
+
+- **Rotate:[On|Off]:** By default, blueprints are rotated in order to follow the direction intended by the builder.
+  However, many mods don't provide the necessary schematics to support rotation of their contents. In this case, it's a
+  good idea to deactivate rotation altogether. This way, blueprint building will not rotate anymore and the result will
+  look much more consistent.
+- **Blocks:[All|Simple]:** It is possible to only record “simple” blocks in a blueprint, that is blocks that don't have
+  any specific behavior (or tile) associated to them. For example, a stone block would be considered as simple, a chest
+  would be considered as complex. Usually, restricting the recording to “simple” blocks only will prevent from
+  recording blocks that are the most likely to exhibit wrong behavior due to lack of schematic.
+- **Excavate:[On|Off]:** By default, soft blocks in the blueprint will result in clearing the corresponding locations
+  when building. If you want to avoid clearing the area when building, set this option to Off.
+- **Mods:[All|Support]:** Mods have the ability to declare explicit support to blueprints. If this option is “support”,
+  only blocks and mods that are indeed explicitly supported will be recorded in the blueprint.
+
+Note that there are further options in the configuration files to control what is allowed and not allowed to be
+recorded in blueprint, [builder.excludedBlocks](http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/wiki/doku.php?id=configuration) and
+[builder.excludedMods](http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/wiki/doku.php?id=configuration).

+The assembly table is a new crafting entity that allows to craft advanced BuildCraft objects, such as chipsets, wires
+or gates. It needs to be operated by lasers which will work on it. The interface looks as follows:
+
+|                 |
+|:---------------:|
+| ![GUI](gui.png) |
+
+Input material are located on the left end. It doesn't matter in which particular order theyare placed. Potential
+outputs are listed on the right end, In the middle, you will find a progress bar. Progress is also represented on the
+“Energy Required” and “Energy Stored” fields on the right pannel. The “Energy Rate” field is the amount of energy
+currently provided by lasers.
+
+In order to start the assembly table, you need to select which elements should be crafted. You may select more than one
+element, as below:
+
+|                                               |
+|:---------------------------------------------:|
+| ![multiple selection example](multi-selection.png) |
+
+In this case, the assembly table will create them, cycling one after the other.
+
+The assembly table doesn't have any spot to stores its production. It will place the output to a nearby inventory if
+any has spots available, then try nearby pipes, and finally drop the production if it doesn't find anything.

+From the player interaction point of view, the auto-workbench acts like a regular crafting table, except that it stores
