I agree - personally im using tools from Tinker Construct, but Greg did not tolerate that mod. Ofc, GT is mentioned as quite hard mod, however its sometimes a bit too hard; it seems that is very hard to make a perfect balance between other mods. Hope it wont end like Beter Than Wolves.
And one small thing, which could be missed from few pages earlier - is possible to create gold plasma from gold dust? As i know, plasma is fouth state of matter, smiliar to gases therefore to fluids, which are simulating both fluids and gases in GT, moreover has very high temperature. GT5U has such machines to make that?
PS. And one more thing - i sometimes think why some items are disappearing if energy is disrupted during processing. Imho something shoud remain if processing fails.
