what happened to industrialcraft

[Fandore]

well just that, i have been away from tehnic for a bit and minecraft in general but now im returning back only to find the best mod taken out imop, what happened to it and why is it gone ? is there some conflict with the newer mods ? just wanted to know..

It's no longer the best mod. In my opinion, Thermal Expansion has taken over that title.

Also, development had stopped for quite a while meaning the mod was well out of date.

Quite simply, it's not the best mod any more.

There was a period of time during which the IC2 mod did not have any consistent development or bug fixes. Most packs moved on and found replacements as well as other mods picking up the slack. Thermal Expansion 3 and Mekanism 6 both provide similar experiences and development paths as IC2 does.

 

IC2 is still under active development and has quite stable versions for 1.6.4 as well as being one of the first "cornerstone" mods to have publicly available 1.7.x versions. While it is true that it isn't included in the Tekkit packs you can easily find success adding it in yourself or creating a custom pack with it installed. There are also a number of familiar IC2 mods that work well with the 1.6.4 version of the mod such as Nuclear Control, Advanced Machines (you'll want Immibis' version, not Atomic Stryker's), Advanced Solars just to name a few.
