[Feature]: Similar functions to AE2 cable anchors for "floor boards" and similarly thin blocks

Describe the feature

Features:

  1. AE2 cable anchors can be placed in any orientation around a block, and I think it would be neat if blocks for this mod could be done in a similar way, cutting back on crafting recipes and adding more building options

  2. Cable anchors occupy the same space as the block they're attached to. I'm not suggesting they be attached to the block they would occupy the same space as, but maybe (like water does with some partial blocks) if they could both occupy the same space, that would make builds cleaner FramedBlocksPartialExample

  3. Connecting block textures! The blocks in the above picture have connecting textures, but FB doesn't allow them to detect each other and connect. Maybe you could implement a system that allows for a single check for the blocks around them upon block update? Like placing a block with the same texture next to it.

I recognize that this is not AE2, and understand that you have your own vision, and that I know virtually nothing about making mods or coding. You have your own vision for this mod and I respect that. I think that the implementation of these features would allow for huge building expansion, and you could change the "floor board" block to a "framed cover", cutting back on crafting recipes as mentioned in "1". The ability to exist in tandem with other "partial" blocks could allow for overlapping the "covers", making it so you could have a complete cover for, say, wall/ceiling corners.

Thank you for considering, ABakedWaffle
