A funny thing about 1.6 era is how the oldest mods(BC and IC2 for example) are taking crazy directions or slowly becoming more and more underused.
I think BC won't be there for the 1.7 (or 1.8) era. Most of the features were replaced and it is now just standing there, alone nowadays...
I for one like the directions the different mods are taking. Everything was becoming too much like eachother. The redeeming factor for buildcraft is the quarry, but that's besides the point.
well forestry does still work without buildcraft in that TE can still fuel MJ through its conduits... to make those multifarms but if TE really ditches MJ support then... there's no where else it can go but I think Sengir can do it and fix it up change it patch it and make it RF compatible :O, AE will still stay heck... even though clearly i'm still studying the mod its fun once you get the MAC going it makes the crafting bungle a bit easier, but sad as it maybe I fail hard at factorization... even though there are mod spotlights I still have no idea how the router works even on a simple barrel based sorting setup... plus the dark iron doesn't even make it "cheap" despite its now an ore gen
Well I for one was under the understanding that TE had already ditched MJ completely. Maybe I was wrong. Also, I think your apostrophe button is broken. Might wanna get that checked out.
