The IC2 crop system is crappy. I'd much rather have fruit trees and loads of new food types than a sugar cane that can grow pumpkins.
But anyway, I have already added it back in to my own server, with some horrible compatibility error with one of the mods, can't remember which, it was nothing important.
As for the points rasied by Torezu, I said mods, but I wasn't being literal, mods, admins, whoever is in charge, that's who I was talking about, and as for selling it better, I didn't expect to have to do a Dragon's Den pitch of the mod, since it has been in the pack before so everyone knows what it is/does etc.
