Is IC2 going to be removed?

[Timendainum]

The most important aspect that needs to be remembered here is upgrade path. We all have servers, some that have been around for a while.

The whole reason I use mod packs (and the entire reason I'm here) is to manage updates. The mod pack needs to do all the heavy lifting for me.

If this ceases to be the case because the builders of the mod pack make decisions to 'keep it fresh' then I'll be forced to stop using the mod pack.

If the new Tekkit has built in Bukkit support, then some pain could be endured doing an upgrade. If not, I think we will skip it. Adding space is not good reason to ruin our entire server by removing 2 of the largest mods in the pack.

The new Tekkit is simply Forge based, but it is a 1 step, single download to drop in MCPC+ (or similar) as a Bukkit provider.

For Bukkit plugins, get MCPC-Plus. It's basically Bukkit with Forge support. Replace TekkitLite.jar with MCPC-Plus and you're good to go.

Honestly, it's not like the pack makers were like "hurr durr i cant wait to be a useless piece of shit all day and remove all these mods". I'm pretty sure they thought long and hard about it. The Technic Platform exists for a reason, you know. If you really want IC2 back, put it in yourself, it's like 5 minutes work, also counting the time it takes to get your modpack on the Technic Platform.

Besides, IC2 and RP2 have been superseded by other mods. Thermal Expansion basically does everything IC2 did. MineFactory Reloaded now handles the Redstone wiring stuff better than RP2 did, and Immibis has his own Microblocks that work with any opaque blocks any mod may add.

Isn't there a way(for the mod creator) to fix that, or a way to just stop volcano generating?

Eloraam has said she won't be adding a toggle because we'll have to "wait for them to get better".

[Gio²]

Volcanoes getting better? Wut? Like, a bigger lava room or that they generate better?

And btw, the "old" Tekkit lite stays in the launcher right?

[Teraku]

If it's not staying in the launcher, someone will make a custom modpack for it. Like what happened with Technic 1.2.5.
