Sorry if this mod has been requested hundreds of times previously, I've only been here for about a mouth.
Buildcraft and Industrail craft are good mods, so is redpower. But now with Forestry gone there's a large gap left in gameplay. The large mods are mostly for late gameplay and leave agriculture and eary development using vanilla minecraft. Can you look into adding this for next update?

It would provide players with an extra dimension of gameplay. A new route to take.
Please correct me otherwise, I'm not always right about everything and have noticed that it would need porting to forge first.
