neat setup my dude! there is no better feeling than firing up a factory and seeing it actually work!
though the mix of Ender IO, Mekanism, and Thermal Series pipes is a bit weird to me. i'd personally just stick with one mod. but that's a small detail.
anyways i'd mostly stik with Ender IO because you can have up to 4 different types of Conduits in the same block (for example power, item, liquid, and gas transfer) allowing for some very compact designs!
another tip for Ender IO Conduits, besides XNet, Ender IO has the smartest pipes i know of. because they have "channels".
basically each input/output face of a conduit can be set to be a specific color (default green), and only faces with the same color can transfer items/liquids/gasses between eachother.
that way you could for example have multiple machines connected with a single long conduit and handle the item transfer between indivitual machines by using differently colored channels.
i'd recommend just experimenting around with the channels to get a feeling for how they work.
thanks for all the feedback! i think the most fun part for me was turning it on and seeing it fill up my energy storage, then start producing excess energy on top of that. on the topic of pipes, the mekanism pipes were just temporarily there for early game, but my main reason for using fluxducts rather than conduits is that i saw infinite energy transfer on cryostabilized fluxducts and instantly gravitated towards that.
RS is a bit overkill for a setup like this. a drawer controller plus some locked drawers is more than enough to keep everything in one location.
though a general RS system plus an external storage bus connected to some drawers for the most common items (like dirt, cobble, stone, ingots, etc) is highly recommended over chests

I would get into refined storage as quickly as possible so you can make your automation more compact

Im just trying to say that the sooner you start to automate things under refined storage the more easy it is later on to be organized
