We all have different ways to play, and the important thing is to have fun, if you like to play hard and I like easy mode is no reason to force to play another the way you think best.
I like GT for the configuration file, and I think the best thing is that modders enabling modify the major part of the mod, disabling parts that we do not like it, adjust the levels obtained or need to create or maintain in operation machines
I don´t like to spend 100 hours for get a drill, for that I disable the recipe the GT, is my way to get fun!
3 configurations
Easy ...
Normal ... aaannnndddd

Also portal gun, for me it isnt cheating, and i rather have the cheap recipe.
