Grat post, I totally agree with you exept for one thing:IC2 and GT are not the only mods in the pack, GT makes people dive into TE or AE to double their ores, they don't make a macerator, this days

Well you are a Gregtech lover not a fanboy so, you don't countI do >: D

In the new GT you don't need a rolling machine which means you don't need MJs to make advanced alloysThats true, GT doesnt allow you to have IC2 has start mod for 2x Ore output and such, you'll need TE for that to be still relatively cheap.
Anyway, GregTech requires is alot of machinery to make more machines.
Example? Solar Panel needs Silicon. Silicon Plate needs Ind. Blast Furnace with Silicon Cell. Blast Furnace needs Rolling Machine, Silicon Cell needs Ind. Electroyzer (whatever you spell it) that needs 3 different machines. ALL for the Solar Panel.
I checked out the new GT and it is harder but also...more....adictingIn the new GT you don't need a rolling machine which means you don't need MJs to make advanced alloys
Also who says that you NEED to double ores in the beginning?

As long as ore are limiting most of your other methods of progression -- in basic GregTech, this is pretty much the case until you're well-established in the Nether, or hunting Iridium -- quite a few people will assume that is precisely the case.Also who says that you NEED to double ores in the beginning?
I have played with past iterations of Gregtech and liked many aspects of it. When combined in the feed the beast packs it was interesting, cool and worked well as a companion to the pack. Now comes 1.5 and... sigh Gregtech has elbowed out the competition. What i mean by that is that it has systematically changed enough recipes so that you HAVE to progress though the IC2/Gregtech tree all the way to an industrial blast furnace to use almost any other mod. Specifically it has accomplished this by making flint and steel require a steel nugget... which can only be gotten through a blast furnace and only the Gregtech blast furnace can be build without going to the nether which you cant do without a flint and steel. Suddenly any mod that requires anything from the nether suddenly requires that you setup Gregtech. I haven't been able to find a config option for this anywhere. IMO Gregtech should not have changed non IC2 recipies its gone too far and i personally wont be playing with it.
Gregtech fails to understand why Minecraft is easy, then fails to make it hard.
Why? Time is infinite internally, all other resource limits are a function of time spend. Gregtech mostly adds more time costs. This means costs become external to game environment.
This makes Gregtech bad.
Thus ends game analysis for today.
But not to the point where I'd not only use another mod for the exact same function (and have more fun and time getting to use it)
But that is what keeps IC alive!
Speaking of lovely diamonds and doubling ore output, in the case of the Ultimate pack TE stands out. What I mean is GT makes the Macerator takes diamonds, Factorization also requires diamonds for its Grinder(similar use), but TE's Pulverizer does not. Looking into the config there's even an option to enable the diamond recipe. Only two diamonds, still making it the cheapest option(GT using three, Factorization using 9 to make the shards).
Level the playing field a little. (Don't kill me if this actually gets changed in the pack)
so just because it keeps IC2 alive it can't have easy mode on?
last time I heard this was FTB, not GregTheBeast with evey pack centered around it.
