We finished the mod, yes. Have successfully integrated new recipes and bob's speed variables perfectly. Also have added the two new tiers of crating machines and even placed them in their own menu row.
What we didn't do, which maybe we should have, was done a deepcopy of Deadlock's tier 1 crate and just modified it. Pawz ended up copying most of the generation code in order to create the new tiers. As a result, any changes Deadlock makes to the original mod don't get reflected in the integration mod.
Had a bit of a talk with Deadlock in his forum thread about this. He's not particularly happy about what we've done, unfortunately. But our reason for even using the crating machines for bob's is vastly different from his intended use/purpose of the mod from the start. We aren't using it to create a bus of highly compressed items.
Anyway, yes, we've solved the speed issue. No need for you to do it. :)
