you simply cannot turn off bending machine. i have no idea about rolling machine, but this one you might turn off.
Does any one know how to turn off the plate bending and rolling machines recipes? I am using the GregTech for 1.5.2. Thanks
You cannot turn off the plate bending requirement to build some GregTech machines. Similarly, you cannot turn off the liquid transposer requirement to build some TE machines. You cannot turn off the alloy furnace requirement to build some Redpower machines.
etc, etc, ad nauseum.
Well, in the latest GT you don't need to build a PBM.
Just use a hammer instead, but it costs double.
But at least you don't need to use a plate bending machine.
I presume by rolling machine you mean the heating coils? For the tiny amount of those you need, just a clockwork engine will suffice, for your purposes.

You're acting like a plate bending machine is difficult to make and power. It's relatively easy and makes mixed metal ingots cheaper. While I might not agree with Greg in everything he does, the PBM is one of those things that I personally don't see why people would complain about it.
its nor difficult(does this word even apply here?) nor difficult to power, however its one unnecessary step, that was easily avoided early. that`s what`s pissing ppl off about it.
If you look at it that way, why do we even have a crafting table? I mean, just redesign the recipes as it's unnecessary.
Come on now. This is modded Minecraft. It's yet another feature which adds something more to the game.

Yeah, it is just unnecessory. You can't really automate the rolling machine with ae if you don't have a lot of rolling machines and space.
It does add something. It adds access to all those GregTech machines that require its output
Just like the compressor, the extractor, the liquid transposer, the alloy furnace, the (RC or GT) blast furnace. Modded mindcraft is chock full of machines that exist primarily or exclusively to provide items needed to make other machines.
I think what he's trying to say is that the plate bending machine serves the same purpose for IC2 and GT as the Liquid Transposer for example does for TE. The only reason you need the Liquid Transposer is so you can gain access to other TE items, such as redstone energy cells and conduits. You could make the same argument about conduits requiring liquid redstone instead of regular redstone dust. It's just part of the mod's progression.
The only reason the addition of the plate bending machine bothers people, while the liquid transposer doesn't, is 1) because the recipes for items requiring the transposer were like that since the beginning, while the PBM was added just recently, and 2) because it's part of GT, and therefore even if it's not something unreasonable, it just adds to the tedium that is already a big problem in the mod.
That said, I'm not a big fan of Gregtech either, and I'm not trying to support it. I find the addition of the PBM and the Assembling Machine annoying too. I'm just trying to be objective.
you pretty much got it.
the only thing i can add, that in TE its actually understandable why you need use liquid ender and redstone, but i cannot say this about plate bender
