Describe your suggestion

Here are a few items and blocks that would be nice to have available earlier than Chapter 2 without having to rely on quest rewards. I doubt these will affect progression, but these are of course only suggestions.

Utility

• Wrench (Thermal Series)
• Slot Seal (Thermal Series)
• Signalum Security Lock (Thermal Series)
• Remote Detonator (Thermal Series)
• Attachment: Filter (Thermal Series)
• Bulk Item Filter (Modular Routers)
• Framed Key (FramedBlocks)
• Skillet (Farmer's Delight)
• Goblet (Supplementaries)
• Cage (Supplementaries)
• Wind Vane (Supplementaries)
• Basic Lever (Redstone Pen)
• Basic Button (Redstone Pen)
• Basic Pulse Button (Redstone Pen)
• Metal Barrel (Immersive Engineering)
• Jerrycan (Immersive Engineering)

Decoration

• Ornate Iron Window (Create)
• Lantern (Immersive Engineering)
• Big Chain (Decorative Blocks)
• Chain (Minecraft)*
• Metal Bar (Engineer's Decor)
• Metal Sliding Door (Engineer's Decor)
• Dye Crafting Table (ManyIdeas Core)
• Candelabra (Hexerei)

* May have the knock-on effect of allowing the Glyph of Chaining slightly earlier. Probably doesn't matter.

Here are some that I figured I'd put here but probably don't matter much.

• Wrench (Powah)
  Not very useful in this pack.
• Bubble Blower (Supplementaries)
  Not very useful in general. Quark's Cloud in a Bottle covers its use case.
• Iron Gate (Supplementaries)
  Might be nice with Iron Bars, but you have to scavenge for those anyway.
• Rope and Nail (Comforts)
  By the time a Hammock becomes useful, you have access to iron.
• Charged Staff (Applied Energistics 2)
  Maybe just for parity with the Entropy Manipulator.
• Lock Block (Supplementaries)
• Spring Launcher (Supplementaries)
• Relayer (Supplementaries)
• Pulley (Supplementaries)
  Redstone devices that (to me) don't serve much decorative purpose.

Finally, I figured the Sophisticated Storage/Backpacks upgrades and the Functional Storage Simple/Compacting Drawers requiring iron are explicit design choices, but it'd be nice to have those too.
(looking at how long this list is honestly if you wanted i could just try to design the recipes myself lol)

Why would you like this added/changed?

Wouldn't have to progress too far (or scour for iron in lich towers) to get some of these decorations and utilities.

Thanks for the list! Many of these seem perfectly reasonable. I'll have a more thorough look through later and see where things fall.
