[WIP] Gregtech Survival Guide [v2, GT5, 1.7.10]

1st Official Post

    [1.6.4] A Survivor's Handbook: Dealing with Hardmode Gregtech

    This is the successor to the great guide by Nonotan shown above. It is a work of the entire community, with me as the editor in chief. The guide covers a wide range of mechanics, and needs contributors. I am nearing the stage where I am comfortable converting it to PDF and publishing it, but there is still plenty to document.

    I retain the right to edit everything here, including privileges:

    1. Absolutely! Credit all of the people who contributed (not just me) from the second page of the document, but feel free to do so. No need to contact me when it's done, just go right ahead. As long as you credit the people who contributed, there is also no need for you to link to this forum post.

    2. I've contributed to the GT wiki, but the FTB wiki is not mine. I suggest contacting SpwnX or retep998 on this forum.


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Also, since this came up, I have some news. Gregtech 6 is coming out. As a result, I am ceasing all work on the Survival Guide. It was a project too daunting for me to finish and since it got essentially molested by trolls, the editing restrictions have made progress very slow. Since the guide will very soon be obselete and I have a lot of things on my plate at the moment, I am handing off the document to the community for real this time.

    Once Gregtech 6 comes out, the guide is anyone's to copy, edit and distribute freely. My only request is that you properly credit all of the people who put time and effort into creating the document. You can credit me as the original creator, but from the time Greg slaps the first release of Gregtech 6 I no longer have control over the document. If anyone wants to piggy back off the GitHub, contact me there and I can give you the repository.

    Any questions, PM me here or on the FTB forum. And as said above, feel free to translate it.

    When GT6 comes out, I'll make a decision on what to do for a future survival guide. Until then, adios.

    How to use IC2 crops effectively


    They have been lacking a good complete guide since they were added.

    145 Mods isn't too many. 9 types of copper and 8 types of tin aren't too many. 3 types of coffee though?

    I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realise that what you read was not what I meant.

    I see this too much.

    Having contributed 2 paragraphs, I tried to add a comment and immediately encountered just how utterly infuriating Google's linked account system is. Because if you at any point create an account that has your real name on it, and link any other account to that account, there is no way to un-link the accounts and there is no way to make your real name NOT display on everything you post.
    Having my real name thrown around the internet isn't all that much of a problem. The real problem is that there is no similarity at all between my real name and the name that I use for all online interactions, so if I post something as Paladin One, and if I post something else as my real name, there is no way of knowing that those are the same person.

    The really infuriating part is that there's no way to un-link linked accounts, and that it's damn near impossible to delete and re-create an account; once an account is created that username stays tied to it even if the account is "deleted".

    Look forward to seeing how this comes along. You mention PFAA ore gen in OP, but I play with normal GT oregen. I hope you elaborate on both.

    Thanks, I do to :)
    And I plan on covering both, focusing on pure GT oregen, but providing info if you have PFAA installed.

    Thank you very much! Also, your steam calculations could come in handy.
    And as for real name, I just gave up. It shows up as J Calkins in drive, and I don't really care anymore. The system is frustrating, but it is the best we have so I think we may just have to suck it up :( sadly

    If anyone had saved a copy of the 6-7 page versions, that person might want to replace the current version with a saved copy.

    For some reason it looks like most of the document was deleted for some reason.
