So on Ultimate 1.1.2, Greg took out the feature of being able to use golden chipsets, golden electron tubes,etc in place of the circuits . Is there any way to enable this again? In the circuitry section of the gregtech config, all of them are at true , but it still doesn't work. I really miss this feature because when making things such as lapotronic energy crystals, circuits are a pain in the ass. So is there any methods of re-enabling this feature? Thanks
Is it possible to re-enable the use of golden chipsets in IC2 recipes?

Greg discontinued support for this because he felt that for example the electron tubes are "too outdated technology" to make sense. So no, you cannot re-enable the feature.
However, you can use the gold you are now not needing anymore in the assembling machine (in the form of electrum) to craft circuits much more cheaply. For example, together with the wiremill, the cost of a standard circuit drops from 1 iron, 2 redstone, 2 copper and 6 rubber to 1/2 iron, 1/2 gold, 1/2 silver, 1 copper and 3 rubber. Advanced circuits go from costing 4 redstone, 2 glowstone, 2 lapis and a basic circuit down to 1/2 silicon plate, 1 gold, 1 silver, 1 glowstone and 1 lapis (no basic circuit required).
The one downside about the assembly machine is that it's mind-numbingly slow. You can solve that issue by building multiples, by adding overclockers (careful, upgrading GregTech machines works differently from normal IC2 and is non-reversible), or by doing what I do... simply give the machine a whole stack of stuff to process and then go do something else. I found that aiming to keep a buffer of 32 basic and 32 advanced circuits in storage will keep you covered for all but the most expensive of projects (four advanced regulators at once, holy circuit hell!).

I know that they are cheaper ,but I still prefer the other options. I would rather just put in a stack of gold and redstone into the assembly table and fire and forget. For the circuits, I need to put copper in the wiremill and wait for it. I need to have a bunch of rubber ready. I also need to smelt iron and make electrum and then I have to use the plate machine to get them into plates. Then I need to put everything into the assembler and wait for it. It seems, to me, a much more tedious job. If only greg would add a config for that. Anyways, thanks for your input.
