As most people have said but what most people do not know; Is that gregtech modifies the block breaker from RP2 to be at least 5 times harder to craft then normal (install gregtech and Redpower2 to find out how much). But as most people have said, I'm would personally do a frame quarry also, as we (glitch and I) have already done so on another server legitimately (about 3-4 stacks of block breakers when we had played for about a week.) before we even bothered to make a BC3 quarry so most of the mining for resources was done by hand.
Well then, I hope that either GregTech is removed, as with their logo (haha?), or that the GregTech intrusion into other mods (other than end-game IC2) doesn't occur... I don't think that GregTech should have that much power over how the other mods were balanced, especially when it comes to balance within the mod itself. Really, the major problem that I had with GregTech is that it is trying to balance a group of mods that was designed to have a mixture of early to mid-game elements as well as (sorta) hard to obtain end-game elements that should become easier to obtain by just making everything insanely hard to make/accompish. TL; DR: GregTech should take it's nose out of other mods.
No one is forcing anyone to install GregTech so it's not up to GregTech to decide whether they can modify other mods or not. It's up to the user. The problem is that many of these mods were not written to work with other mods explicitly, so they often obsolete each other.
This forum is at the perspective of SKCraft, which at the moment is "forcing" me to use GregTech. I was just putting in an appeal to keep mod recipes (other than IC2) unchanged. I'm sorry if my reasoning came out the wrong way.
Haha, I agree. Even if we installed Gregtech, I don't think it should have such a big impact(changing practically everything) on the mods like it is right now. Modifications please SK?
Hmmmm, found this mod, looks not bad(even thought I no no reason to convince you): http://www.minecraftdl.com/condensed-blocks-mod/ And this mod adds a bunch of dungeons, I don't think it adds anything new so no worry of it breaking or removing it half-way? http://www.minecraftdl.com/dungeon-pack-mod/ last of all, OH GOD WE GOTTA HAVE THIS :O EXTRA PISTONS!!!(I know we have frames, but I jsut like pistons, much mro simple) http://www.minecraftdl.com/more-pistons-mod/
My best alternative would be an rp quarry, but... I'd probably go mining the old fashioned way (which is annoying as hell because my inventory fills up at ludicourous speed) Also, here's from my post on the 1st thread:
imho, gregtech will have a big impact. the IDSU (a wireless ender-chest like eu storage and hub) alone will change the way people arrange their machines and build their bases. at the beginning it wont matter much, as the machines are pretty expensive but people will eventually get to the point where they can easily afford those machines. on a related note, gregtech has a config for DISABLING EACH AND ANY OF THE RECIPE CHANGES, so how is this even an issue? if sk decides to disable those options, we keep the old ones. READ!
Not that I can see. It's coloured orange meaning there is feature overlap, but not disabled as far as I can tell. Edit: There's also Builcraft fillers.
Right. I read something wrong, sorry. My brain is quite dead in the mornings, especially today, it seems.
Well, tell that to GregoriusT and see what he says if you're so against it modifying other mods recipes. I on the other hand would love to see most, if not all of the gregtech recipes enabled since I've been playing with them on anothe server and had tonnes of fun just getting the resources and building the much harder then before recipes.
