While I understand he's trying to make things more "realistic" in the latest versions, he misses the point that you can't have both fusion reactors and the requirement of hammers and plates to make a simple sword in the same game and keep it internally consistent.
Maybe someone should make a Greg addon which does exactly this, making things realistic. Could be fun, you never know
While Greg needs to give people a reason to use his sawmill, it needs to be a reason that doesn't also apply to the TE sawmill
By the way Poppy, I think this is the 1st time i've seen anyone use the word 'verisimilitude' in serious writing/speaking.
good luck pulling that off, without nerfing TE sawmill.While Greg needs to give people a reason to use his sawmill, it needs to be a reason that doesn't also apply to the TE sawmill
Greg could just make his sawmill give 8 planks per log, though it seems a bit much. What else can he do though?
other options i see:
- reduce energy requirements.
- remove water requirement.
i dont really think that buffing plank`s output will make it worth using over TE sawmill. because if KL would want to troll Greg he could also buff his sawmill.
besides plank isnt such important resource in tech stuff, that needs such attention.
It also looks like he did some additional nerfs to the stone and wooden tools. Wooden pickaxes normal durability is 60, but it sounds like he nerfed it to 12 uses. And for stone tools, normally they lasted for 132 or so uses, and he nerfed those down to 48.
You know even with how much drama it would cause a gregtech normalization mod would be great. I would cause tons of drama but then atleast I could still use gregtech. All I would need is to be able to adjust the configs and I would be happy
If this is legit..
I used to like gregtech it was fun. More 'realistic'. Now, however he's just gone batshit. He is more convened with using his otherwise well developed mod into trolling now. So instead of it being 'hard' you're stating to have to build a car before inventing the wheel. He is choosing the easy development method that doesn't take much thought and that's disappointing.
I wouldn't mind if doors n shit started to require hinges and screws and a fucking sander with some paint and all the recipes youd need to create each one of those things. Just dont make the door require rocket fuel and a MFSU for a cheap lol. It ruins the mod, and few people want to dick around in the config to de-stupify every cocaine induced change. Id expect greg to be more creative than that.

i though link to such mod was posted few pages ago.
although removal of gt would be best normalization. its kinda hard to piss off people with your mod, when none uses it
No there was a link but it doesn't go as in depth as I would like he has only fixed like 10 things
Cool story, Greg.
But you know what? GregTech has migrated from "more IC2 content" to an overhaul of Minecraft. Love him or hate him, FlowerChild has pointed out many times that you can't do this piece-wise. Perhaps Greg has changes up his sleeve that make this change reasonable, like he did with the plate bender. But because he does this work incrementally and doesn't actually do versioned releases we have to be dragged through his creative process face down, eyes open. No fun. You're out, Greg.
Because I hate to put this fine a point on it, but I am bored with GregTech. I get bored just watching it. It is not a more difficult experience, and anyone who says so has a warped sense of what "difficult" means for a game. GregTech, these days, is exactly why Eloraam warned us against back in the day: a series of magical boxes that you build instead of making your own things. You build GregTech stuff almost exclusively to climb the GregTech tech trees, and the design space is so small that the builds themselves are all pretty similar.
Oh well. Tinker's Construct is the new hardmode tool making, anyways.

He tries to break EVERYONE'S mods. He messes up everything. Even the god damned error screen! I can't get any of the item ids fixed because of the damn thing!
