Okay, I only want my project to use the machines from thermal expansion, though it will not be a requirement for the mod to have thermal expansion installed.
Users should be able to play the mod regardless of whether or not any CoFH mod is installed.
Here is a Link to my current workspace:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xy6n1f0xtikov23/EpicFoodMod.zip?dl=0
It is a zip file and contains my active project, minus src code, cause I haven't written any.
So yes @shadowfacts, that would make my project standalone I guess.
The only question I have left is,
Will it cause issues for someone who actually has CoFH installed?
Update: All is working fine, though my question above still stands.
