I understand when people like gregtech, but not when they can't play without it. Its a decent mod that adds a lot of high tier item to the game and adds a little more challenge. But its not like the game ends once you get a quantum suit. I think its good to get high tier stuff earlier on so then you can build really awesome stuff
Shocking Revelation: some people want things that you don't. This will be the case throughout your life. It would be a good idea to get used to that fact, and stop marveling over it.
