REPORTING PROBLEMS Read the “Common Problems and Resolutions” a few lines below. If nothing fixed your issue, follow the directions on how to report. Do not send me a pm with your problem – it will be systematically ignored. Again, do follow the instructions on how to report on “Common Problems and Resolutions”. I will not answer to a single support request that doesn’t follow that procedure.
WARNING Updating to 1.6.6.4 and later will automatically change pipes made out of cobblestone by pipes made out of stone.
WARNING BuildCraft 2.0.0 is released as beta. It contains additional code that will break dependency with other mods, and may be instable. For anything else than testing, you should use the stable release 1.7.7.4.
Here’s a few videos showing this last version.

For modders, if you want to write a special BuildCraft mode, you’re welcome to include the following API – and only that one API, nothing from the others links – in your mods. Including this API should allow your mods to easily interact with e.g. BuildCraft pipes when BuildCraft is installed along with your code. At the same time, your code will still work fine when BuildCraft isn’t around. Send me a pm once you release these mods so that I can list them.
