Hey we disabled your packs in EI (in favor of Epoch translated versions) but somehow steam-science-pack ending up on ei-gaia, ei-induction-matrix, and ei-deep-pumpjack, and seem resistant to deletion. I notice you have exceptions in your data.lua, would request you not affect EI.

i have a server running with exotic industries and other mods while EI disables the steam science pack.

Does it in this case make sense to enforce the setting do disable adding science packs to all later technologies? Since this is an overhaul, that could make sense.
If not, what exceptions should I add? Only the listed in your post? Or exlude by science pack? (science_blacklist vs science_pack_blacklist, see information tab here).

Well we wound up finding a way to segue it off the ei techs. However as Szentigrade reports it winds up adding itself to other techs when it is in fact disabled in lieu of a copy of the EI dark/steam age techs with lignumis ingredients.
