Thank you, I'll try different recipes.

Sorry, this is probably a dumb question, but I just decided to try Gregtech 6 and I can't even make a vanilla furnace work. I crafted it from stones and fire starter, but I have no idea how to use it. It does not work automatically, when I put items into it and right clicking on the furnace with fire starter or flint-n-tinder basically ignites ground around the furnace, not the furnace itself.

Don't you think, that having teleporters, nukes, fusion reactors and still killing wildlife with swords and bows is kinda... illogical. Are there any plans to implement guns?

And if you think, that mobs are quite easy to kill already, then it is possible to add deserted high-tech vaults into the game made from advanced materials with stronger than average enemies (like robots and centry drones) and good gregtech-specific loot in chests or safes.

Suggestion for Gregtech:

New items: Collector's stands

I wonder if it is possible to add special chests with dedicated slots for certain ingame items. Each slot may only accept one of every particular item (or stack of 64 for advanced version), which goes directly into a dedicated slot for this item. For example, the player can put into a collector's stand a sample of each type of gregtech dusts and can see what dusts he did not obtain yet.

Collector's stand: dusts & Advanced Collector's stand: dusts
Collector's stand: ingots & Advanced Collector's stand: ingots
Collector's stand: cells & Advanced Collector's stand: cells
Collector's stand: gems & Advanced Collector's stand: gems
Collector's stand: tools
Collector's stand: armor
Collector's stand: weapons
Collector's stand: tech components
Collector's stand: books
Collector's stand: disks

Obviously when new items are added into the mod, then a corresponding collector's stand should be updated as well.
If a certain collector's stand is fully completed, then an achievement may be added to achievement system.

PS: New goal for players is never a bad thing.

Actually you can craft an ender dragon egg from a chicken egg and an eye of ender as soon as you reach exp level 1000. Your levels will be spent in process though.

Alternatively there is a very low chance of dragon spawning if you drop a chicken egg and crash it... Just make sure that there is enough space above for a dragon to spawn.

Suggestion for Gregtech:

New item: security terminal & security camera

These two blocks should be linked by a standard frequency method (used in teleporters for example). Once they are linked the player can use a security terminal to change his point of view to camera's location (with ability to rotate POV, but he should not be able to move and interact with items obviously). More importantly cameras may be turned on/off from the linked terminal. Turned on camera works like a chunk loader, which keeps the area around the camera working even without players presence around the camera or terminal.
