My personal tip: Use buildcraft first, then go on industrialcraft. It's much easier that way. And forget railcraft's turbines, its a waste of time and sources.
I know it's a bit "off-topic" but railcraft is indeed awesome. I never cared about the rolling machine. And railcraft was the only way for me to carry EU without loss from cables, or with greg-tech "Hyper" expensive conductorwire.
I agree, Gregtech is awesome. Also, that harder reciepes makes game more balanced and harder, so there are less newbies running with nukes and stacks of diamonds on servers.
