I've noticed that some facade blocks are not oriented correctly. I first noticed the problem with Environmental Tech Alabaster Bricks. See the screenshot below. On the right is a real Alabaster Brick and on the left is the facade version with a cable inside. I believe that the face I'm looking at in the screenshot should be the top face, not the northern face.
They don't take on lighting/shadowing properly either.
Here's a screenshot of facades of vanilla bricks:
Considering this is a two year old issue and still has no movement, perhaps dropping the use of mod-specialized facades and instead having the logic cables and parts support MCMultiPart might be a good alternative.
This is the approach taken by Mekanism for hiding its pipes, so it wouldn't be an especially unfamiliar concept to the player.
People could use something like Chisels & Bits to craft their own facades around their Integrated Dynamics contraptions. Integrated Dynamics could also provide a tool to the player that would allow them to easily place fitting facades created from bits, if Chisels & Bits is installed.
Since facade rendering would no longer be handled by Integrated Dynamics, this would likely solve both the texture and lighting issues and vastly increase options for decoration available to the player.
Fixing support for MCMP is planned, but not trivial. Fixing this lightning issue will probably be a lot easier.
I will never put a hard dependency on third-party mods, so MCMP will always remain optional, which is why I still want to have facades in this mod.
