Hey,
I'm doing forestry in Direwolf20 1.12 and I need pipes to connect my Electric Engine to my Squeezer and Carpenter but buildcraft isn't in the modpack. Whats a good replacement to connect my equipment?

I believe Forestry still uses RF and other Forge Energy compatible sources, so just some Thermal Expansion fluxducts should do the trick?

Thermal Dynamics is a straight-up improvement in every conceivable way to BC Pipes, both in terms of aesthetics and performance.

Fluxducts are the energy pipes of Thermal Foundation, and are not very difficult to craft. You start off with leadstone fluxducts, and work your way up to reinforced (and you can use leadstone fluxducts to make reinforced fluxducts, so you don't have a pile of worthless pipes at the end of the day). The crafting of Redstone Fluxducts, which are higher tier, use a different process.

Not to mention the fact that BC now uses its own power system again, and I don't know if Forestry is compatible :p
