When ever I look up a gregtech recipe in nei, I find that you can use buildcraft gates and stuff in place of the circuits. I can't find an explicit config entry to disable this (or I didn't look hard enough... highly possible). How does one go about disabling this?

Unfortunately, there's no way. Greg wanted GT to blend in well with other mods, thus he used the ore dictionary to make a bunch of things from other mods interchangeable with his. Just learn to live with it. It can actually be somewhat helpful.

And is your avatar the tree on the Moon from Majora's Mask?

Darn. It's kind of annoying in nei. :(
Also, yes it is. I <3 Majora's Mask. Need it on 3DS asap! >:O

Before you disable, chipsets are a lot cheaper resource-wise than circuits, lasers look cool and holding shift while looking at the recipe in NEI stops the cycling.

@noskk: Thanks
@Ako_the_Builder: I didn't know about that. Any other secrets you can share? I just learned about the double click on the search bar yesterday.

EDIT: I messed around with different combinations of alternatives. I have re-enabled the bc chips and gates as well as forestry tubes and circuit boards but have rc-chips, forestry-casings, and te-machines (what ever that is) disabled. rc-chips and forestry casings feel too cheap and I have no idea what te-machines is (more info welcome!). It feels less crowded when build something now. :D

TE will be thermal expansion I guess. Not so secret secret: prototype omniwrench is the (almost) only wrench you'll ever need :)

I meant nei secrets :p
I didn't really see any obvious te integration with gt. I'm thinking it's just the coils and stuff. Just a guess, though.
Also, the omniwrench is to die for.

The TE one is for machine frame substitute for machine block in some of GT/IC2 recipes (also include generator at current version). Well I always use my gravitool.. no need to install another mod for that haha..

Mouseover almost anything in nei and press R to see the recipe or U to see what recipes the item is used in. When using a fabricator open it, find your target item in nei and hit the little question mark to quickly set the fabricator. Those any good?

I already knew those. I basicly only use nei as a recipe book. Only last month did I learn about shift-click for infinite items in cheat mode.
Do you know of a good gregtech beginner guide. I'm certain I'm doing everything horribly wrong. :O

Edit: Just saw your ultimate lets play link. :/

I cover a lot of gregtech stuff in my let's play, mixed in with stuff from all the other mods though so it's not exactly a guide. My beginner's guide will cover it later but I'm at an early stage of that still.
