Some of what you request can be done with GregTech configs, without even needing Minetweaker scripts:
1. Re-enabling IC2 machines can be done in the "disabledrecipes" section of GregTech/Recipes.cfg by setting their entries false (so they're no longer disabled)
2. Changing "B:steel_true=true" to "B:steel_true=false" in the "blastfurnacerequirements" of GregTech/MaterialProperties.cfg will allow steel dust to be smelted to ingots in a regular furnace. iirc, the IC2 induction furnace just uses vanilla furnace recipes, which takes single inputs, so combining iron and coal dust wouldn't work in it. The GT alloy smelter should be able to handle such a recipe, though.
3. A few of the IC2 machines that aren't disabled by default have harder recipes that can be turned off in the "harderrecipes" section of GregTech/Recipes.cfg, but some components like the IC2 basic circuit would still need a Minetweaker script to restore the original IC2 recipe.

Yeah, was kind of hoping they would have deleted the first 3 posts because they were triple posts, the "quadruple" post had updated information saying that I had set up the config incorrectly for the basic machines. Should make the job much easier with those machines workings, just got to update the recipes for some things so no GT machines are needed in order to make the TI and T2 IC2 machines.

Hey all,
I recently started playing modded minecraft again after a 4 year hiatus, and I've found a lot has changed. I can not play without IC2 or GregTech ever since my world in 1.4. The problem I'm having now is that I'm using the FTB Inventions mod pack (with additional mods and customized configs) and I'm trying to re-enable the original IC2 machines and recipes that Gregtech disables. Since I know very little about going through the source for the version of gregtech I'm using and changing this behavior (if it's even possible) to recompile, I was glad to find Minetweaker and furthermore your GT addon for it.
What I like to do is use IC2 early on(get the electric generator/macerator/compressor/extractor [as well as the advanced versions of each, which are added by Immibis's Advanced Machines or Tech Reborn] automated and powered by a solar array), then after I have reached the nether and got some mods set up and I have the means to begin, I like to dive into the more advanced machines that GT offers. I understand this process has changed quite a bit (bronze age, etc), but I still like to customize my experience, so I've decided to do one of the following via MineTweaker

a) Add back in the ability to craft the disabled IC2 machines as well as edit some crafting recipes by:

• Giving refined iron ingots a crafting recipe or allow steel dust to be crafted with iron dust + coal dustx2 and allow steel dust to be turned into ingots with any furnace (alternately use one of the induction furnaces to allow an Iron ingot and coal dust to yield a Steel Ingot)
• Change any IC2 recipes changed by GT (but still useable) to = their original crafting recipes

b) Edit all GT machines/items that replace the original IC2 machines with the IC2 recipes:

• Pulverizer/Grinder/etc.
• GT Circuit = IC2 Basic Circuit (circuitBasic) = Redstonex2 + Iron Plate + Insulated Copper Cablex6
• and so on...

I will start configuring the Minetweaker script soon if needed, but I will need some help. Firstly, is it even possible to re-add the disabled IC2 machines using this script (even with GT loaded)? Secondly, is there a syntax for replacing one machine block or item with another? I know it is possible to add crafting recipes to mods, so I'm assuming it's possible to do this with things other than items from the ore dictionary?


If this has already been made or someone has created some part of what I'm trying to accomplish or did something similar with another mod, I would greatly love any help/input to help me write this script. I am using some of the scripts examples from the github to answer the previous questions, but any contributions to what I expect to be a time consuming task is welcome
