Hi engineer.
I don't personally know Factorio+ mods. (Despite the title feels a bit weird to me if you watch my modpage, but lol just it makes me smile.)
Said this, yeah when AAI is found together with Ev Refining my mods work around Earendel's intermediate, as it is definitively more popular and more used than the one added by my mod - and having two different types of sand doesn't make much sense.
You should ask to the developer of the Factorio+ modpack if he can do something about that.
Currently I'm "exiting" from an exam session, and I've enough bug reports to fill multiple A4 pages... so major non-already supported compatibilities are not a thing for now - at least from my side.
