    This is a rather simple suggestion/request. Basically just want to be able to have Industrial Craft items have EMC values to make them easier to make and use. Every other server I've been on has had EMC values for at least most of the things in industrial craft except for anything that required a part made in a compressor (which makes sense) so I always assumed it was just done automatically through some algorithm in the ProjectE code. It's a logical conclusion seeing as how virtually all the things used to make IC items have EMC values on them (aside from compressor items because they aren't "crafted" in the usual way), which made it easy to believe it was just an algorithm. Guessing it isn't though and all of the things need to be put in manually. Might be a tedious job to say the least but by no means is it impossible. Honestly if need be I wouldn't mind taking the time to calculate all the emc values myself so they could be simply copy and pasted by the host and added to the appropriate file. Pretty sure everyone on the server would appreciate this addition.

    I don't think it would be useful because it would make game too easy. This way you could just pump diamonds/something else into energy condenser and get solar panels/other machines without building any infrastructure. Quite important part of technical mods/modpacks is automation and you would skip it this way.
    If you want to make it easier to make IC items, make ME system (if it is in the modpack) and set up auto crafting. Then you can just click the icon of the item in ME interface and if you have enough of resources, it will be crafted (with all the steps automated, like compressing/macerating...).

    It's all dependant on the modpack author.

    As Lucid has stated we don't alter mod packs. In addition to that, IC2 having EMC would just open a whole new line of exploitative behaviors and short cut most of the build up in IC2.
