I just need to decide on a texture pack and shaders now. Any recommendations?

Sphax-Bdcraft is one of the more popular ones and so tends to stay up-to-date for the bigger mods and a few smaller ones.

SEUS shaders go well with it.

The only thing that can be done with it is to fill a meat feeder, which will top off your hunger at all times. This doesn't affect your nutrition, though, so it's not ideal. Basically, yeah, void it.

FYI thermal expansion covers (structuralduct) count as a closed block too, if you need to run ducts between rooms.

There's also the feedthrough insulator pseudo-multiblock from immersive engineering, where you can put two wire connectors (not relays) on the opposite side of a solid block, and whack one of the connectors with the engineer's hammer to make any wires punch through the wall.

I'm not sure why Chisel blocks won't work, but Chisel & Bits blocks are tile entities, so it makes sense that they wouldn't work. It has to make a tile entity out of the solid block by itself.

I have several questions!

1) Bedrock vs Java, which edition is considered 'better'? I have the Java edition, I'm just wondering if I should bother getting Bedrock going. Is it better performance-wide? Is one more or less difficult to Mod? And does Bedrock work with MultiMC? And how does well bedrock work with shaders and the like? I love the way Seus v11 looks and would be hesitant to give it up.

2) I'm not really big on complex machines or complicated gameplay mechanics, I'm wondering what a good mod or mod set would be that just adds a lot of furniture and decoration without altering the base gameplay much. I mainly just want to decorate the poo poo out of my house and maybe build a giant cathedral or castle or something IDK.

3) Are there any mod packs which introduce more of a survival element? Like, camping out, or making me require food a bit more (I've lived for weeks and weeks off of 5 apples, it's a bit ridiculous).

If you're thinking of mods, use java version, there's not really much of a choice. Bedrock modding, as much as it even exists anymore (there were some for pocket edition but mostly only on Android due to it being relatively easier to mess with the files there) was always much, much more limited in what it could accomplish and that hasn't changed much. As much as it's generally the better version of vanilla these days there's not really a way to accomplish even half of what many java mods do.

I sections off my base and got my machines working again.

I then had a problem with itemducts heading into my storage controller. A chest filled with survivalist net stuff was piling up as the only thing the servo/duct would send out were the iron ore ones. Everything else just stacked in the chest.

I have to say that i also had my sieve and void miner running into the same controller.

As soon as i added a few more ducts to the actual drawers things sorted themselves out. But its still a mystery. If i had known this was going to happen i would have gone jabba :/

How do i power my bc lasers with rf? Is there some sort fo converter? (exoria)

I suggest you look through https://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/cosmetic and grab what catches your fancy. You can (and should) download them all from this site. Bibliocraft, Chisel and Chisels & Bits are popular stuff that are recommended to get though.

The question about survival packs is complicated, because there's a variety of levels of survival. There's the older TerraFirmaCraft (Or our own variant TechNodeFirmaCraft EZ) which is literal caveman simulator and so you'll need to hunt and store meat until you've progressed technologically enough to farm, discover pottery and then bronze and so on. Then there's the 'hardcore survival' packs like Forever Stranded and Craft of the Titans that force you to hole up against a tough, unforgiving world trying to kill you while you progress through a barebones questline of things to achieve. Then there's story-based challenge survival modpacks like Blightfall and Aftermath, and the more relaxed survival-farming simulator Regrowth.

I only know because I asked the modpack dev himself, but there's ways to make this easier. Filter coal is used faster the closer you are to (0,0) XZ, so moving away in one direction will significantly increase the amount of time you spend between pieces of filter coal. Additionally, thermal cultivation watering cans work on the mushrooms to replenish the little poison well on the top.

Misty World is pretty bullshit.

Mainly you want misty world gravel for sifting, and the poison from the mushrooms to make the next portal (the previously mentioned knight slime).

Hard foggy stone is down at Y-level 2-7 or so. I suggest a flexible tool with 4 haste upgrades and the 5x5 upgrade because it takes like 1 minute to mine a block.

Also, compact machines that you can make from the hard foggy stone are broken and will crash when you enter one in Exoria 1.2.1. Edit drones.cfg and set the "Default Spawn Chance Weight" to 1 if you want to actually use them. Or just remove the drones mod altogether because they're annoying.

I believe a high-tier Exchanger can also instantly mine hard foggy stone, though it might give the cobblestone variant instead. (Handy for making furnaces.)

Take a look at Bibliocraft. It adds a ton of decorative blocks, many of which are actually functional.

Like every stone block in Misty World, you're better off using a Niobium Pickaxe when mining Hard Foggy Stone. nvm the Niobium Pickaxe isn't high enough mining level, it requires obsidian level. No idea how you're intended to mine the hard stone, but a diamond exchanger will work best, and isn't that expensive once you have a high tier condenser.

I'm trying out the new Craft of the Titans. I really enjoyed the first one. I added Iron Backpacks, but it looks like it's missing a lot of the functionality from previous versions. Is there a good alternative for sorting and harvesting large amounts of materials in my own inventory in 1.12.2? I'm absolutely spoiled by the earlier versions of Iron Backpacks.

There is not, and I really wish the author of Iron Backpacks would have followed through with the rest of its 1.10 functionality. About as close as you can get is Forestry's backpacks, which are (in my experience) buggy as hell.

I'm very tempted to just go back to 1.10. Figuring out Iron Backpacks was a huge game-changer for me. I'm sure I can set up automated mining rigs that'll sort and store stuff for me, but adventuring and exploring will still be a pain.

Honestly, the real solution for that stuff is an ender pouch connected to an ender chest back at your base that pipes items into an array of chests or an AE2/RS storage system. But, yeah, I miss the hell out of real iron backpacks.

Okay, be warned, the Alloy Mixer from Foundry requires the fluids involved to be in exactly the same spots as you see in the recipe.
BE WARNED. The Knightslime recipe requires LIQUID SIGNALUM, not MOLTEN. Which means you use the Alloy Mixer to make the signalum, not a magma crucible. I'd use the melting crucible but you can't loving REACH 2800 to melt it.

God, Foundry is such a trainwreck aside from the very base functionality of melting ore and casting it. Every other machine is just awful to use.

I just found out you can press K to compress rocks/ash into their 2x2 counterparts. It's way faster than manually crafting even if you use JEI to autofill the slots, since it skips some sort of crafting verification step that lags the game to poo poo.

I've noticed that if you use the conversion wands you find in the houses if you have a rod of the land and mana it will place dirt using mana.

Will test to see how well it works in the misty world.


Edit

Tested, worked wonders up until the hard foggy stone, then it wont replace it with dirt. But using this method i was able to did down to y12 quickly

Hey, KingLemming -- feature request for thermal expansion. Could dynamos and machines show the total amount of RF needed or produced by the current activity in the energy tab on the left? Like, if I melt a piece of cobblestone in a magma crucible, I'd like to see the total amount of RF that the machine needs to consume to complete the activity. Similarly, if I've inserted a coin into a Numismatic dynamo, I'd like to see the total amount of RF that coin will generate. I'm not saying, like, a constantly ticking upward/downward figure based on the exact progress of the task, but just a "the currently burning fuel will generate X RF with this configuration" sort of thing.

I'm most of the way through Botania, another guy on the server has most of AA going, and we have a massive farm set up so we have decently easy access to emeralds, but now I need a stack or so of diamonds to finish anything.

The server is on a ~3 month old version, if it matters.
