upgrades.

These upgrades can be used on regular AE Pattern Providers and ExtendedAE's Extended Pattern Providers. Using it on
these machines will upgrade them to the advanced version keeping the same amount of slots they had previously. This
means you won't lose the materials used to upgrade regular providers to extended providers in the process.

## Advanced Pattern Provider Capacity Upgrade

Capacity upgrades are used to upgrade regular Pattern Providers directly to an Advanced Pattern Provider with 36 pattern
slots.
