Is it just me or do Buildcraft recipes actually require GT machines to make basic BC chipsets? I honestly don't know yet if the recipe simply isn't showing for what can be made in a BC Assembly Table, or if the Assembly Table isn't actually useful to make. I would have thought if there was no point in making the Assembly Table that it would be disabled and require anything it normally could build to be made in some type of GT machine. I'm still setting up and I'm wondering if it's worth spending the investment just to find out the BC Assembly Table actually has limited uses or is mostly useless. Mind you, GT does have the advantage of being automatable, I'll give it that.
Anyone know what the deal is here? Should I bother with the BC tables or just go for what the NEI recipes suggest to go after? It'd save me diamonds in the long run if I don't have to waste time building useless or nearly useless machines.
Edit to add: The recipes for the BC Assembly Table and Laser do actually show up which suggests that there is some use for them, obscure as it might be. I've also checked the configs, and there doesn't seem to be any special disablement options that look like they make the BC Assembly Table useless, unless I'm missing it somewhere in one of those very long and complicated GT config files, which is possible.
Cheers ...
