I’m all for adding uses to already existing items/material since GT does have a heck of a lot of those, but if you ask me when something can’t be crafted and can’t be used for anything that goes more into minetweaker territory than anything. I mean, technically speaking the game generates ores and items that do not exist and will never exist (and should not exist, like coal coke ore, just for a zany example). The entirety of GT’s bulk is mostly a waste byproduct of the metaitem function (or whatever it’s called) that’s run for all materials that can be made useful by adding recipes for it yourself. But even with craftable items, the fact the game gives you the option to create a robust anti-polonium machine casing does not imply that you should.
