What does plugins for forestry actually do?

What does plugins for forestry actually do? The internet has failed me. All the official site says is that it helps make forestry play better with other mods, & all the wiki stubs seem to have been deleted. What fixes involving which mods? I'm in the process of cutting all the mods I don't or only minimally use from the DW20 pack for my single-player world. Although sometimes difficult, I think I've managed to find enough basic info to make the cut/keep decision on everything but this.

Wooden buckets, liquid barrels (basically capsules that hold 10 buckets), peat/vegetable juice to boost your biomass production, and it lets you use Railcraft's creosote oil instead of seed oil to make apiaries and frames. Probably a few other things too, but these are the most important.

Ditto what Revemohl said. I think if you are using anything other than coal to make creosote, or, to put it another way, you are putting anything other than coal into Railcraft Coke Ovens, then you are using Plugins for Forestry (PFF).

PFF also lets you put Creosote into other recipes, as Revemohl said. Without PFF, you have to use Seed Oil to make Impregnated Housing and Impregnated Sticks.

Definitely a keeper then, although I think the barrels may be a bit buggy with the TE liquids. I tried to save my stock of liquid (redstone/ender/glowstone)? & the full barrel joined the stack of empties when I tried to shift-click it back into my inventory. This means I also have to keep denlib.

Yeah, barrels are buggy. I'm not sure they are fully Fluid Registry compatible.

The other thing PFF does is prove that the recipe list for the Fluid Transposer desperately needs a blacklist on containers like PFF's.
