Why was the Electrical Engine removed?

[xiwmxwilliamson]

I'm just wondering why the Electrical Engine was removed from Tekkit. I know there is a replacement of sorts called the Energy Link but it is more costly to make.

Because Sengir inserted code into Forestry, the mod which contains the Electric Engine, that made several strains of exploding bees that would wreck all of your shit, if it detected that you were using the Technic Launcher.

can you ask Sengir for the sorce codes and take the bees out so we can use Forestry i liked the Electric Engine

Forestry is closed source and protected by copy right claims. Also Sengir is not too happy about technic/tekkit and basically hates the devs. What part of inserting code to attack technic gives you the idea that he would be willing to do anything to help us.

In addition, most of us including the devs are completely fed up with this whole forestry thing and have already moved on. So accept that forestry is gone for good and find other ways to do things. For example replace your build craft quarry with a redpower frame quarry, which tend to work faster and more efficiently than the old school build craft ones.

Okay thanks for the replies.

You can manually reinstall it, but if you're running a server for any more than a few friends, I don't recommend it.
