GregTech needs harder recipies- Not literal

[Chocorate]

GT is not hard, it's just a pain in the @#!*% and makes everything take an unnecessary amount of time.

But I also like TFC, it's actually hard. It takes a long time, but that's because it's difficult.

GT is "hard" because it takes forever to do anything. TFC takes a long time to do stuff, but that's because it's difficult. It's this difference that makes GT a pain in the @#!*% and TFC actually fun. TFC has a much better balance between difficulty and time-sinks because it actually balances vanilla Minecraft around itself. GT feels like artificial difficulty because it tries to extend vanilla while ignoring the balance of it. It feels unnatural for stuff to require a million materials when I can make a piston with a single piece of iron and redstone dust.

(Generic Disclaimer: Only my opinion, don't get too butt-hurt about it)

But seriously, I want a GT balanced around vanilla and not Greg's bizarre idea of "balance". Can I get a mod to do that, please?

Also, we already have the Holy Planks of Sengir, what more do you want?

My exact thoughts on Gregtech. It's a mod centered around giving you more steps needed before you can enjoy whatever cool feature you want to use. It also doesn't add that many new things other than byproducts and such. It adds more powerful ways to do x, but x needs a power source which is y, and y needs fuel for the power, and it keeps going.

Please don't turn this into a flame war on gregtech, or ILGT will come along and stab you with vajras.
Aside the point i don't particularly mind gregtech creeping his fingers into other mods, but i would definitely want him to change vanilla recipes like you stated, one iron and one redstone is too easy for a thing that can move a block, even more op when you can use it to crush mobs or make the fabled piston door.

But meh, i dont find gregtech hard hence i want to make it harder by combining it with TFC, but want i really want is some mod that adapts TFC to work with mods, while gregtech does the rest!
