    Why do people hate Greg?

    The thing I find most amusing is how vocal the GT haters are and how quiet the GT lovers are. This is the 2nd poll in recent weeks on GT and once again the vast majority like/use it while the forums are filled with whining about it. If you don't like it, remove it. I personally enjoy the fact...

    How to use gregtech's automatic machines?? like the automatic e furnace

    Unfortunately, you can't remove upgrades. From what I have tried in testing, the overclockers should roughly be the same as your transformer upgrades. For example, a 32 EU machine upgraded to run on 512 can take 2 overclockers safely. Seems once you cross that threshold, you will start needing...

    Gregtech Appreciation Thread

    I have been a fan since I started centrifuging stuff before the electrolyzer took over a lot of it. The automatic machines and upgrades added in the latest version are so nice. I don't have to set up a laser to make gates to extract from my IC3 machines. Make the conveyor module and pop on the...

    Share your power loops!

    I started off with more not knowing how many I would need, but in the end 3 alvearies with refined bees keeps 4 36 hp boilers going on fuel. I did give them the fast productivity gene, but I'm not using frames with them. After running 2 frames in all the alvearies you see with refined bees, I...

    Request Suggest mods for creation here

    I'd like to see a block that acts like a deployer and block breaker in one block. Could work off multiple inputs, signal strength, or just toggle by input. Not sure which would be easiest to make, but it sure could make some frame builds simpler.

    Avoiding power loss over distance?

    Once you are running 512 over glass fiber cable, there are only a few options. Put multiple MFSU's in parrallel instead of series so you output multiple 512 packets. Cable is packet size limited, but can carry multiple packets so the loss is neglible and you maintain 512 even under load. Option...

    Reverse Pump?

    One nice thing is when we get to 1.5, we get the new liquids. I'm thinking a liquid redstone lake or 2. Just gotta figure out how to fill it until all the mods get updated.

    Reverse Pump?

    Redpower pumps will work. Make a tank to hold water and keep it filled with aqeuous accumulators or xycraft water blocks. Place a redpower grate where you want the water and connect the lines from tank to pump to grate. Using the screwdriver changes the pump direction iirc. I checked it out...

    Just noticed something wrong with the industrial blast furnace

    After some testing, you can get 3200 degrees without using any advanced machine casings in Ultimate 1.1.0. Use 2 lava source blocks and all reinforced casings. You also use the Kanthal and Nichrome heating coils. You have to apply the Kanthal 1st or the Nichrome coils won't apply to the machine...

    Just noticed something wrong with the industrial blast furnace

    By using coils, you only need 4 or so advanced casings. I dropped to only 8 and am still over 3300. IT actually saves chrome. Make sure you have 4 in your hand when you click on the furnace or it won't work. Also, only 2 of the 3 available coils can be applied.

    GregTech from Scratch, Spotlights & a custom modded Let's Play

    Seriously ... THANKS. This has got to be one of the worst documented mods, considering it's complexity. Your Gregtech from scratch series has helped so much. I had been looking for good info on the mod forever.

    MFR farms and ME Control

    After you get a Basic ME network setup, you simply need an export bus on the planter set to whatever you are planting, an export bus set to fertilizer on the fertilizer if you use it. They both need power as well. Your harvester needs 3 connections. Power, sludge, and output. Just put a ME...

    Is it worth continuing my current world?

    I'm with you. I wish they would stop breaking my worlds. I'm tired of starting over. I wish I could keep my worlds going. If I put them all together, it would be a city by now. I still haven't even explored all the mods yet. I know it's not the mods faults. The huge changes to MC the last few...

    What to do with UU matter?

    I know. I had this setup before I had access to a steady supply of good amplifiers so I just leave it go. It is fully self contained and on it's own solar array so figured why turn it off. Just added a ME storage bus to the barrels so I can access the UU matter through the crafting screen.
