Here is a short list of things that don't require a channel:
Line 82 ⟶ 83:
Crafting storage is required alongside patterns. Crafting storage blocks come in 1K, 2K, 4K, 16K, and 64K byte variants (similar to storage cells). Crafting storage is essentially a buffer where items are held until the recipe is finished. Because of this, the longer a recipe is (let's say you have 5 or more "chained" recipes for a single recipe) the more storage you will need to start that job.
 
Crafting Storage can be expanded in a multiblock structure. The only rule is that it must be cuboid. The entire multiblock will only use 1 channel.
 
Co-Processors allow for recipes to be executed simultaneously amongst many interfaces. For example, if you had 4 encoded patterns for a 1x tin cable and each of those were inserted into 4 separate interfaces, having 3 Co-Processors would allow your ME network to leverage all 4 interfaces as part of the crafting recipe (this means it could use 4 assemblers simultaneously). By default, 0 co-processors in a network means that it can only do 1 interface's worth of that recipe at a time. Co-Processors can be part of the crafting storage multiblock.
