I'm playing the 3rd party modpack Infitech 2 by Jason McRay, from FTB launcher, and certain recipes stop working as intended.
For instance, first time this happened was after a few hours of gameplay, and all kinds of planks stopped making 2 sticks, they wouldn't make any for me!
Then I had trouble tracking down the recipe for Red Alloy Ingot, the Gregtech version, but I can only find the one for the Bluepower ingot, which fortunately made the Gregtech version anyway!
Most recent, today, (I'm in Australia FWIW) I had a problem crafting a RE-battery! Guess why? Because the recipe for the dust that makes the ingot wouldn't show up until after a restart of the modpack. I had a very hard time finding antimony dust plus 4 copper finally makes this recipe, but I found it, after googling for the answer.
The thing about the latter two recipes is that even if the correct ingot is referred to, they will not show up their relevant dust recipe in NEI, and I don't know why this happens. They only seem to show up under certain peculiar circumstances, as if I actually have to go and find the actual ingredient that makes whatever I'm after, before it will actually display the recipe to me!
Does anyone here know of any similar issues with the Infitech 2 modpack, or other modpacks that have Gregtech, IC2, and of course, NEI, other than the one listed below for the IC2 bug tracker?

it is irritating to say the least, I would like to further my progress in Gregtech, but with the recipes constantly hiding from me due to this bug which has an awkward workaround, i would like to know if Greg or anyone has a better solution to this problem than manually adding a heap of Minetweaker entries as a workaround!
Cheers ...
