- then Right click on any crystal stone related block to recolor it that color,

- crouch right click in either hand to cycle through the list of saved colors,

- Holding the applicator in the offhand while placing stone related blocks will auto color them the selected color.

Next craft the Linking Tool and Upgrade tool, youll need some dye and crystals to do this.
After that you can craft Pedestals, 3 crystal stone slabs on top, and 4 stone in an upside down "T" shape under  the slabs (all the same color)
Pedestals can hold Items, Fluid, Energy, and XP all at One time, and when linked to another, transfer it simultaneously.
Next with the Upgrade tool and some gold ingots, craft the Base Upgrade, and combine it with a hopper, This makes an Import upgrade (craft this alone to make the export upgrade, and again to go back to import).

- While still in the offhand, right clicking a pedestal will insert 1.

- the pedestal can now pull out what is specified by the mode, from the block 'below' it ('below' changes based on the orientation of the pedestal)

- To remove the upgrade, offhand the Upgrade Tool and left click the pedestal.

Next Take the Upgrade tool in your main hand, and crouch right click it in the air once, This, is the filter tool.
Use the filter tool surrounded by sticks in a crafting table to make the Filter Base, this combined with other items, like wool, glass, iron bars, bread, books, etc can make various filters.
Using wool and a filter base, craft an Item FIlter.
- To set the filters contents, crouch right click it while its in your main hand, on an inventory like a chest, the items inside will be setup in the filter (item tooltip will reflect this)

- To change its 'Modes', like the Upgrade, put the filter in your offhand, then crouch right click in the air to swap modes. Any time the icon changes to a 'blank' center texture, it means the filter cannot be setup using an inventory.
- To setup fluid filters, you must have the bucket of the fluid you want in the chest you click on.
