I still intend to update this. Sorry for the long period of no updates. I've started a couple of times to work on the NE mods, but then got sidetracked. One issue is that several entities, recipes etc. are shared with Bio Industries and need to be in sync with it again. But things have got so complicated there (name migrations, restructuring of locale files) that I wanted to get that in a working shape before doing anything else on NE. I've also some other mods I'm working on, and some of these had nasty bugs as well, so even more side tracking!
But to answer your question: This mod isn't dead, it's just … fallen asleep. :-)
