Sophisticated Core guide for All the Mods 10 0.32 to 0.50

Sophisticated Core is part of the pack, and this pack ships version 0.6.31 (file sophisticatedcore-1.21-0.6.31.631.jar).^[1]

It has been in the pack for a while. It was already included in version 0.32 or earlier, so it isn't a recent addition.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have don't describe what Sophisticated Core does, who it is aimed at, or whether the pack changed any of its recipes or configs. I also found no quests for it and no sign that it is on the ATM Star path, so I can't say where it fits in the pack's progression. Check the in-game item tooltips or the other sections of this guide for details.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Sophisticated Core is the shared base behind the storage screens of backpack and storage mods. The sources here show no items to craft from it directly, so your first steps are about learning the screen and settings you get once you hold a backpack or storage block from a mod that uses it.^[2]

Unverified The sources here show no recipes or quests in this pack for Sophisticated Core, so there is no confirmed crafting order to give you. For what to craft first, look at the quest book and recipes of the storage mods that build on it.

What to do first

1. Hover over a backpack or storage item. An empty one reads "No Upgrades or Inventory Contents". Once it holds something, the tooltip tells you which key to press to view the contents and shows its Stack Size Multiplier.^[2]
2. Open the settings and look at the player level settings. They apply to all your backpacks and storages unless a specific one overrides them, so set your habits here once.^[2]
3. Decide whether the screen should keep your search phrase. When it is on, the search is prefilled and filtered when you reopen the screen. When it is off, the phrase clears on close and everything is shown again.^[2]
4. Decide whether to keep the upgrade tab open. When it is on, the screen remembers the last open upgrade tab and reopens it next time. When it is off, all tabs start closed.^[2]
5. Choose how shift click behaves. When the option is on, shift click tries an open upgrade tab first and then the inventory or storage. When it is off, it tries the inventory or storage first and only then an open tab.^[2]

Slot settings worth knowing

• Slot Memory Settings let you pick slots that remember their contents and only accept matching stacks. Left click or drag selects a slot, right click or drag unselects it.^[2]
• No Sort Slot Settings let you pick slots that sorting ignores, using the same click and drag controls plus select all and unselect all buttons.^[2]
• Item Display Settings let you pick a slot whose item is shown on top of the storage.^[2]

The mod also has an enabled items option that comes prefilled with all supported items. Its tooltip says you change true to false to disable one, in the format item_id|true_or_false.^[2]

Sophisticated Core is the shared library behind the Sophisticated-style backpacks and storages. It has no machines, multiblocks or power systems of its own. What the sources show is the settings and upgrade interface that storages share, so that is what this section covers.^[3]

Player-level and per-storage settings

The settings screen has a player-level context. Settings you make there apply to all your backpacks and storages unless an individual one overrides them. That makes it a handy place to set your preferences once.^[3]

There is also an export template button. Its description says it creates a data pack with an snbt file. The sources don't explain what the template contains or how to use it, so treat that as something to test yourself.^[3]

Upgrade tabs

Upgrades open as tabs next to the storage screen, and two settings control how those tabs behave. Keep tab open decides what happens when you close the screen. When it is on, the storage remembers which upgrade tab was open and reopens it next time. When it is off, the open tab closes with the screen and all tabs start closed the next time you open it.^[3]

Shift-click to open tab changes where shift-clicked stacks go. When it is on, a stack moved from your inventory or the storage goes into the open upgrade tab first, and only then into the storage or inventory. When it is off, the order is reversed. The stack goes into the inventory or storage first and only then into an open tab.^[3]

Slot-level controls

Three settings tabs let you pick individual slots. They all work the same way: left click or drag to select slots, and right click or drag to unselect them.^[3]

• Item Display: choose a slot whose item is shown on top of the storage.^[3]
• Slot Memory: choose slots that remember their contents and only accept matching stacks. This tab has buttons for select all and unselect all.^[3]
• No Sort: choose slots that sorting ignores. This tab also has select all and unselect all buttons.^[3]

Upgrade settings screens

The sources list settings screens for these upgrades: Advanced Compacting, Advanced Feeding, Advanced Filter, Advanced Magnet, Advanced Pickup and Advanced Void. There is also a Botanist's Workbench screen. The sources only give the screen titles, so what each upgrade does and how it is crafted is not confirmed here.^[3]

Tank upgrades can hold experience. Their tooltip shows how many experience levels are stored out of the maximum. A control labeled Level at which Pump Stops lets you set the experience level where the pump stops.^[3]

Storage item tooltips

A storage item's tooltip shows No Upgrades or Inventory Contents when it is empty. Otherwise it tells you which key to press to view the contents. It also shows a Stack Size Multiplier for that storage.^[3]

Unverified The sources don't explain fluid or item automation (hoppers, pipes or other mods), power use, or the actual stack size multiplier values in this pack. No config files or recipes for this mod were available, so none of those details are confirmed.
