Gregtech & the omniwrench

[atheneftw]

So i found out that Greg doesnt allow the omniwrench to be used on his machines, does he really have to be a dick about it?
i mean after all it costs 2 diamonds, if i were him, i'd be much more worried about the pulverizer's cost being much less than a macerator or people just draining the nether and getting massive amounts of energy with thermal generators. Oh well...

Of course i made a poll because all gregtech threads must have a poll

pretty much just greg being a dick again. Ofc the omniwrench should work on IC2/GT machines.

Someone needs to make a modmod called Random Acts of Destruction (RAD!) that just adds failure as an option.

1% change furnce blows up.
0.5% chance a torch sets you on fire.

That sort of thing.

They work in 1.5.2

Greg makes the game harder and more difficult, Eloraam just sits on her high horse and doesn't let anyone touch her precious mod.

If Gregorius wants to make his mod hated by everybody and do what Eloraam did then he can do so.


He doesn't have enough stuff in his mod to survive something like that, people can really easily just stop using it, unlike RP2, which has so much stuff in it (until recently, we didn't have replacements for some of the stuff in her mod) it would be a pain to not use RP2 just because of screwdriver/omniwrench compatibility.


Making the game difficult is one thing, being an ass for no apparent reason is another.

I'm using them with ultimate 1.1.2. Some machines react strangely to the omniwrench. All the machines will break with the wrench, but not from all sides. Try clicking on the top of a machine that seems to not work.

Somebody isn't paying attention to the modded game world around them.

That person is you.

if greg thinks that omniwrench is op, he should just remove his dust unification, because they do exactly same thing

 

[Chocorate]

Is there a config file? I really hope he ruins the game to such a point where it gets taken out of FTB. Like, for everyone. And nobody would complain except to him, because his mod would be hated.

 

[Jess887cp]

I hate GT threads. I love the GT mod, but the threads...so much information could be found elsewhere.

Oh well, I guess it's part of being such a forum.

Wondering where this info comes from, 'cos in 1.5.2 you absolutely can still use the prototype omniwrench on gregtech machines.

Is this an upcoming change?

You could always use it. Just buggy/doesn't work properly.

 

[Grunguk]

Really? .. always has for me. Just bop the machine on the top panel and I don't think I've ever had a problem with it. It's the only wrench I ever make.

 

[dgdas9]

GTB machines work with omniwrench...in 1.5...

 

[Jammyjezza]

it's a planned change, he has stated he's changed it in one of his most recent updates, which isn't in the packs yet

 

[natnif36]

In 1.4.7 - GT machines worked with omniwrench. Rather strangely at times however.
In early 1.5.x builds, GT machines also worked with the omniwrench, albeit slightly buggy and/or acting strangely.

In the LATEST builds of GT, no "unbreakable" wrenches work with his machines. This means wrenches that don't break and don't use power to wrench things.

This was his latest(?) changelog, taken from the GT forum.

V3.07e:
Fixed several small Bugs.
Added six new Omniwrenches, which work with IC², GT, BC, UE and vanilla Stuff.
Iron Wrench with 100 Durability (you need 10 Durability to dismantle normal Machines)
Bronze Wrench with 200 Durability (overrides the Recipe of the IC² Bronze Wrench)
Steel Wrench with 500 Durability
Tungstensteel Wrench with 5000 Durability
Electric Wrench with 15 uses (overrides IC² E-Wrench)
Advanced Wrench with 100 uses (needs Lithium Battery and Tungstensteel)

I didn't see anyone mention RP2 or Eloraam. We're talking about a 1.5.2 change, and as you should know, RP2 isn't in 1.5.2, so why the hell bring it up? This thread is already destined to turn into a GT flame thread, why did you feel the need to drag RP2 in too?

 

[ApSciLiara]

Sigh Greg. I love your mod but I hate you as a person ._.
Wrenches are a lot more durable than ICSquared would have you believe... or so I'm told.

Sent from boobs (because why not?)

Hopefully he will keep stupidly rebalancing the game and will end up nerfed in the FTB packs.

He doesn't have enough stuff in his mod to survive something like that, people can really easily just stop using it, unlike RP2, which has so much stuff in it (until recently, we didn't have replacements for some of the stuff in her mod) it would be a pain to not use RP2 just because of screwdriver/omniwrench compatibility.

I like to think as the omniwrench only works with mods that add wrenches, and not with screws, those are for the screwdriver.
