Switch p2p tunnel to fe version with forestry engines in hand

Description
There should be a way to configure the p2p tunnel to be a fe tunnel with just forestry installed as an energy mod.

Reasons why it should be considered

  • Would help a lot in minimalistic mod setups.
  • Probably pretty easy to implement if you know the code structure a bit better.

Additional Context
FML version: 8.0.99.99
AE2 version: rv6-stable-7

I use a pretty minimal Minecraft 1.12 mod setup with just Applied Energistics (logistics/networking), Forestry (breeding/automation), Pam's Harvestcraft (food) and Open Computers (fun). I added a Recipe to my applied energistics jar-file (as a workaround) to get a p2p-tunnel fe by using Gold instead of Iron in the p2p-tunnel me recipe but thats just really unrefined.

Hope you consider adding this.

You can always use CraftTweaker to add more P2P attunements or ask a mod do register them via our API.

Currently RF tunnels are using most pipes/ducts as well as anything support the FE cap (like energy storages), but not generators explicitly as AE2 isn't a full fledged energy transport mod by default. E.g. it would even be impossible to join multiple generators together. Only splitting their output. So anything which needs more energy than a single generator can output minus the transport costs won't be able to run via P2P even. So it won't offer anything above putting a generator right next to the machine itself. Not even any space saving as it would be 1 P2P or 1 generator next to the machine.

Thank you for your quick response! I know the limitations of p2p tunnels for energy transport very well and want to use it for splitting the biogas engine output to multiple machines. if I need multiple engines on one machine I can always use multiple fluid output busses to feed them if needed and trigger them by level emitter of the product of the machines. Thank you also for your CraftTweaker suggestion. I will look into that. Didn't know it existed until now.
