GT5u Recipes Planner

  • I made a website that precalculates how to craft a bunch of items in Beyond Reality for a given Gregtech tech level (GT5 unofficial). I think most of the recipes are unmodified from base GT, so this should still work for most other GT5-based modpacks.

    Want to know how to make your first LV stuff after the bronze age? http://tinyurl.com/p4d6epq
    What about your first EBF? http://tinyurl.com/qxoczyw


    There are certainly bugs and missing recipes, so please let me know of anything you'd like added or other features you'd find useful.

  • That's pretty slick. Would it be possible to add other multiblocks using the bare minimum hatches/buses? Things like the fusion reactor are a pain to do out longhand.

  • Yep. I just need to know what the top level multiblock components are for each tier; do you know the link for that offhand? I can get all the in-game recipes myself.


    As you probably noticed, I've set up the EBF multi recipe to use 3 LV hatches. Is there something similar for the fusion reactor? Like it requires a fusion reactor to make MAX tier inputs or something, so one of the first things you make with it is to upgrade all the acceptors? (I haven't made a fusion reactor in my survival world yet :))

  • This page covers the fusion reactor requirements pretty well. I've only ever made them in SP testing and not survival progression yet so I'm not as familiar with the nuances.

    Mark I, II, and III all work with only twoinput hatches and one output hatch. From that page: "The Fusion Reactor gains 10mio(MK1), 20mio(MK2) or 40mio(MK3) EU storage capacity per energy hatch build in." The Mark I D+T reaction requires 4x LuV energy hatches, a Mark II Al+Li reaction needs 7 ZPM energy hatches, and a Mark III Si+Mg reaction takes 6 ZPM energy hatches.


    Your tool will come in handy when it comes time to make the LV machines for fuel production.

  • Here's a rough cut at the fusion reactor mk 1: http://tinyurl.com/olwjhgg


    Interestingly, my numbers don't completely match up with the wiki's. I think the wiki assumes you will use LuV input hatches? Also I have no idea where they got the number of superconductor wires from...

    Well I do know the Mark I requires LuV or higher for all casings (including input/output hatches). This prevents someone from minimizing material cost while maximizing fusion reactor capability with tons of cheap hatches. Extra input/output hatches don't add much functionality but don't add any cost either. Extra energy hatches add a lot of functionality however and do cost quite a bit more (unless you're all set on tungsten).

  • Nice work Ras, and thank you! :thumbup:
    I was tired of putting everything on excel.
    The assembling machine material is a nightmare to calculate...


    So, any plans to add a way to export the result to a txt?
    Or calculate more than on machine and save the materials list?
    Just realized that you can put more than one machine on the list. Awesome...

  • I wasn't planning on export-to-txt. However, you can always save the page (there aren't even any images at the moment, so it should be super small). Also, the shopping list + tech level is all passed in via the URL so you can copy-paste the URL for use later as well (I intend to keep this behavior, but might break existing URLs in the future for improvements ;)).


    I also just added a TinyURL button at the bottom for easier sharing via IRC/ingame; let me know how useful that is.

  • Yeah, I've seen that after posting here too, I can just add it to my favorites and work with it.
    Well, it's perfect, I'll use it a lot from now on.
    (About sharing, I can't say, I play alone :( )


    My only fear, is that my internet suck sometimes, an offline app would calm my paranoia. :D


    Thanks again, excellent work!


    Edit: Are you still adding things?
    The Vacuum Freezer Multi recipe didn't broke down the "Data control circuit" into it's materials and I couldn't find it into the list...

    It didn't show the recipe, because I don't have the needed machine...
    In that case, would be great to have a warning saying "X and Y machines are needed to craft the part item Z, required in this recipe", or something like that.

  • Yeah, the "not having the machine" issue is really annoying :(. I was thinking something like if you must have the machine then display the step anyway with a red highlight or something and have a message at the top saying "Warning: the below recipe requires machines you don't have".


    Edit: I added some basic red highlighting and still show steps that you're incapable of doing.
