What does BuildCraft|Core add?
The core of all Buildcraft modules, all on it's own this does almost nothing but all other modules depend on it.
This is included in the main module: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/buildcraft, so this should only be used by advanced users who want a subset of buildcraft.
