QuoteLonging for the old industrialcraft .... when we low-voltage for short distances and hi voltage for long distances.
You also don't recall how broken it was to allow such feature, as when MV was later introduced, it was virtually useless due to how cables worked then (ya, I remember it actually)...
Plus, there are many work-arounds with other mods that you can use if you are clever enough to discover them. Some examples..
1. Buildcraft + Teleport Pipes + Transformers Add-on = Teleport power anywhere within your chunks. Use it to power your Miners today!
2. Ender storage = Two chests, Two EU storage blocks, several batteries and Crystals... Need power somewhere? Place the Chests where you need them and open away!
3. vanilla Minecraft = Hey, look, mine carts with chests! How about we put rails up (Since they are cheap as piss with bronze) and push carts around full of batteries!
