Red Power 2 - Wiring Alternatives?

[Cisco78]

I just started an FTB Unleashed world with a few friends and am adjusting to the idea of not having RP2. It's been an interesting challenge, but I've enjoyed using other mods I've neglected during my last few worlds.

I've got a few questions:

1. Are there any new mods that provide the same function as RP2 wiring? I was thinking of using gates for engines etc.

2. Without RP2 wiring, do wireless redstone blocks function with normal redstone?

3. I used RP2 wiring heavily in my Railcraft projects, but am not sure what to use to replace it. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

There's rednet cable and the rednet programmer from mine factory reloaded it works awesome as a rp2 red wire alternative.

Ah,never knew that! Thanks much! Still wrapping my brain around 117 mods haha.

there are some copycat mods out there who copied parts from Redpower, but I'd suggest not to use them and actually try using new mods instead.
for you second question, chickebones made wireless redstone independent from redpower, but it does require you to install forge multipart, but that shouldn't be a problem

Just double checking, but Multipart isn't part of Unleashed? Ty

Yes multipart is part of Unleashed. With Unleashed your best solution is to use the Rednet cable and controller as Harros has suggested.

The controllers not so much. Even the most basic lua knowledge can do you better with a computer or turtle.

I find that depends on what I am doing. If it is simple logic gates and timers then the controller is the simpler easier solution. Anything more complex than that then the computers and turtles are better solutions.

You can use Project red

Redlogic adds every logic part from RP2(Wiring is included)
MFR adds the rednet cable and controller.
