    The current situation
    The latest update of WeHatePlates had unforeseen consequences. Most pulverized versions and dusts of metals will turn into plates if you smelt them right now. To get around this before it's fixed, just smelt the plates again and it will give you the ingots.

    My plans with WeHatePlates
    I realized that WeHatePlates, the mod that allows for a workaround around GregTech plates, is a mod that is done in a very, very hacky way. This is why I have decided to drop the mod.

    But don't worry!
    Plate Bending Machines have been nearly costless and very quick to use for a while already. I plan to include Plate Bending Machines in the starter kit for players. I also plan to make an NPC at spawn that gives out 'Plate Bending Kits' for free at spawn.

    What do I do with the OBSOLETE plates?
    Get rid of them. Use them, smelt them or maybe try to use an Unifier with them. Next update, or the update after that, will completely remove those plates. I am not sure what will happen to the plates that have been used as covers on GregTech machines, so just try to replace those with the plates from GregTech itself.


    EDIT: You can now get a free plate bending machine at spawn. Look for Gregory hidden quite near the spawn point. Plate Bending Machines are also part of the starter kit now.

    It's better to have created a great mod, and turn it down later, than to have never made a mod at all, well done.

    I wouldn't call it hidden. More like hidden to plain view; Because when you spawn at SPAWN, you'll see him if you look around.
