GregTech-6 Main Thread

Returned to my world and realized that the small crafring hub i made has no indication of where what is stored. Here is a picture : https://i.imgur.com/v8yNtXR.png
All commonly used things like wires/crystall circuits/covers/screws have their drawer
That got me thinking, is it possible to make some sort of labels for compartments in compartment drawers? Like bibliocraft does with its labels to put an item in or have a mini sign so its possible to write some abbreviation to make it easier to find what you’re after?

Gregorius · January 4, 2022, 6:55am

As nice as that feature would be, I have to say its a bit difficult to get that to work right in Minecraft… not the type of work i am particularly useful at, so no, not gonna be added by me. The best I could do is equivalent to the Minecraft Wooden Sign, and that would NOT be split into 4 quarters.

Btw, do u guys know about Warp Drive Mod? Is for 1.7.10 and is compatible (For not to say that it needs it) with IndustrialCraft EU and things.

Can it be made compatible with Gregtech 6 mechanics and balancing? Or it would be too out of tune?

OvermindDL1 · February 8, 2022, 4:15pm

The WarpDrive mod was fun, it basically went the SE route of Factorio style of ship ‘movement’, lol. Wasn’t very complete or comprehensive though.

Hmm, GT6 could easily absorb that functionality and better. Someone should PR it, lol.

Gregorius · April 11, 2022, 9:33am

Just a heads up about an upcoming minor change that might melt or corrode some Pipes when processing AlF3 in a Mixer, because that Stuff now comes out Molten instead of as Dust.

An Update to GregTech has been released!

Cue the fully automatic Changelog:
Screenshot
So I got Minecraft to run on my new Computer. Finally an all AMD thing. That previous Intel Celeron was such damn garbage…

6.15.00:
[WARNING] Helium, Molten Tin and Molten Sodium as a reactor coolant has been buffed, your old reactor designs using these coolants might be able to “explode” (reactor explosions are still disabled, they will just delete their inventory) when running. Shut those reactors down before updating and evaluate that they will explode before turning them back on. Reactors running other coolants are not in danger of exploding, but might not produce as many neutrons as before.
[NOTE] Neutrons needed for breeder rods got reduced, but this change is not retroactive, already crafted breeder rods might take a good bit longer to breed.
[FIXED] OpenComputers did not accept Electric GT6 Power even though it should, but ONLY if Galacticraft or Funky Locomotion were installed. But now it works.
[FIXED] Tools of other Mods being single use on NON-GT6 Stuff too, instead of only being single use on GT6 Stuff.
[FIXED] A Bug with Bedrock Fluid Springs also spawning in Void Worlds.
[FIXED] Some weird Bug with GT6 Items and Creative Tabs.
[FIXED] Grass Path conversion from Et Futurum to GT6 was a little bit iffy.
[FIXED] An internal Item mover Function duplicating Items when Stuff with a Stacksize greater than its normal Maximum Size is inserted. Typically happened with 19+ sized Stacks of Scrap in a Queue Hopper, but there was other ways too.
[FIXED] Unstable Ingots will now explode in the Advanced Crafting Table.
[CHANGED] Cups, Jugs and Measuring Pots along a few other but not all Fluid Containers can now be filled by a Tap placed above them.
[CHANGED] AlF3 will now exit the Mixer in MOLTEN State, which might end up melting or corroding your current Water Output Pipes! Also that one AlF3 Recipe wont void SiO2 anymore, since I now got space for that Output.
[CHANGED] If you click a Dust in NEI to look at Recipes producing it, it will also show Crushed/purified/Refined Ores.
[CHANGED] Waterlike Non-Source Blocks will now only spread 2 instead of 7 Blocks. This should reduce Cave Flooding in Non-Ocean Biomes.
[CHANGED] Shredder now has better Output Management for certain things.
[CHANGED] Mariculture Diving and Scuba Gear counts as Chemical/Gas Protection.
[CHANGED] Niobium and Tantalum now have a Chemical Processing Path after Aluminium Tier. Niobium may require you picking up molten Aluminium from a Crucible, if you dont have Tungsten for a Smelter yet.
[CHANGED] MFR Laser Drill now requires Adamantium, so you cant just use it to super easily get that Stuff before you have a Bedrock Drill anymore.
[ADDED] Mass Storages and Item Barrels can now bundle and unbundle bare GT6 Wires. (Wires does NOT mean Cables!)
[ADDED] Firestone, Pyrotheum and Octine can now be used similar to Sodium Persulfate to process Refractory Metals.
All the Reactor Stuff Erik did:
[CHANGED] Fuel rod maximum stat now relates to the number of neutrons on a fuel rod rather than its neutron output.
[NOTE] Because of changes to the fission breeding system, old fully automatic breeder reactor designs might not work anymore. There is however no risk of “explosions” from this change.
[CHANGED] Breeder rods now have a new stat, the neutron loss, which gets subtracted from any amount of neutrons put onto the rod from any side.
[CHANGED] Removed exponentially scaling bonus neutrons on breeder rods completely. The number of neutrons needed for any breeder rod got rebalanced for these system changes.
[CHANGED] Breeding now produces “enriched” rods rather than fuel rods directly. This allows for slightly easier and less tedious automation. Enriched rods will like breeder rods output only half the heat, but have no neutron loss, which allows detecting that a breeder rod turned into an enriched rod.
[ADDED] Lithium breeder rod, breeding into Tritium.
[NOTE] Reactor designs with coolants other than Industrial Coolant, Distilled Water, Semiheavy Water, Molten LiCl or Molten Thorium Salt may require changes to accommodate the following stat changes.
[CHANGED] Cobalt-60 fuel rod now has an emission of zero, making it useless for power production. It also lasts a much lower duration, making it more useful in burner reactors.
[CHANGED] Output of better nuclear fuel from processing depleted fuel rods slightly halved, now six depleted rods will allow you to get a new better one.
[CHANGED] Depleted Co-60 rods now processes into Thorium (instead of U-238), Depleted Naquadria now processes into Co-60 (instead of Thorium).
[CHANGED] Heavy Water/Tritiated Water as a reactor coolant will now reduce the neutron maximum of fuel rods in it by 8/16 times. This allows for building much faster burner reactors.
[CHANGED] Carbon Dioxide as a reactor coolant now doesn’t increase the factor of fuel rods inside anymore, now just offering an increase to the self stat.
[CHANGED] Helium as a reactor coolant now doesn’t decrease the factor of fuel rods inside as well as not increasing the self stat anymore, now just offering a lower emission stat.
[CHANGED] Molten Tin/Molten Sodium as a reactor coolant will now increase the neutron maximum of fuel rods in it in addition to their previous effects.
[CHANGED] Molten Thorium Salt is now slightly cheaper to produce and lasts much longer and able to be produced with all sizes of dust.
[ADDED] A config option (EasyU235Extraction) to enable centrifuging U-235 from refined uranium ore. Disabled by default.
[ADDED] A config option (Enable1x1ReactorCore) to enable the crafting recipe for the 1x1 reactor core. Disabled by default.
[FIXED] Neutron Sensor previously behaving differently in maximum related modes on reactors using industrial coolant.
[ADDED] Guide Book for designing and operating the fission reactors.
[CHANGED] Setting the Secondary Facing of a Reactor Core to the same side as the Primary Facing will now disable the Secondary Facing.
[ADDED] Tritium can now be turned into Tritiated Water, useful as a reactor coolant when obtaining Tritium from Lithium breeder rods.
[FIXED] Fuel rods with neutron counts at the exact neutron maximum now won’t have their duration effected.
[FIXED] First second of neutron output of fuel rods being potentially lower than emission stat (in some cases even negative)

An Update to GregTech has been released!

Cue the fully automatic Changelog:

Getting into the habit of actually posting a Screenshot for a Release again. Even if it is mostly just bugfixes and minor other things here.

6.15.01:
[FIXED] An exploit with AlF3 due to a copypaste accident.
[FIXED] GT6 Prospecting Journal Addon was crashing due to one of my refactors.
[CHANGED] River Black Sand now generates 2 times less often, but has two Layers again. This should avoid an edge case Bug that resulted in an infinite Worldgen Loop.
[CHANGED] Most Immersive Engineering Crusher and Arc Furnace Recipes, because pretty much all of them were bad. And their Recipe System is as laggy as vanilla Crafting so I sure as heck wont add my own giant set of Recipes to it. But I will add a FEW Recipes so they are not completely dead.
[CHANGED] Adamantium Production is now slightly more difficult.
[CHANGED] The Prefix Filter Block will use the “ore” Prefix to include all regular “Ore Blocks” regardless of the Stone they are inside of.
[ADDED] You can now dye written Books and empty Books if you dont like their Color. Though there are only 11 Colors available. I did add Brown to the List, so you can get rid of the enchantment glint that vanilla written Books have too. It is Crafting only though, not Bathinng Pot though.
[ADDED] A DidYouKnow Page for Bookshelves.

Gregorius · May 1, 2022, 12:05am

Yes there has been a Release, people seem to not have noticed this Post like they usually do, lol.

PlasmaFox256 · May 7, 2022, 12:47am

I won’t lie, new screenshots on releases (even if small) make me happy.

Mr.CHEN · May 7, 2022, 9:49pm

I think it’s better to release screenshots as a preview before release, such as this aneutronic fusion and advanced solar panel.

SNikolaBogdanic · July 28, 2022, 12:03am

Hello to anyone seeing this!

Since the new Minecraft Updates, I decided to look for alternatives to Minecraft. And I hit what I consider to be gold. Or Pyrite, that is a pretty valuable too.

I stumbled upon this game called “Vintage Story”, that at first glance seems like a cheap Minecraft ripoff. But, when seein the trailer or playing, you realize that this game is orders of magnitude better that its inspiration in regards of survival immersiveness:

-You have to knap your first stones to get the heads of your first stone tools.

-Find surface pebbles of native minerals (Or go panning in a river for them).

-Find clay deposits to start making pottery and, eventually, a crucible!

-Get your first copper tools to start mining.

-Take care of your food as it spoils rather quick without further preservation methods.

-Get your hands in a Windmill and harness mechanical power for your primitive machines!

-Survive in a world with the 4 seasons, with a harsh winter that make foraging, farming and exploration way harder than usual.

-And much more!

All that without mods, things that the game devs have made easier for newcomers to do!

Here, I will leave you people the link of the website of this game: https://www.vintagestory.at/

Maybe you guys get interested.

Reason why I post it here? I hoped Greg or other devs would look at the game, enjoy it, and maybe they would like to port some (If not all) things from Gregtech 6 to this new game in a mod for it.

Would be cool an immersive game like that one with Gregtech stuff in it for its endgame!

Gregorius · July 28, 2022, 5:58am

Tyron actually did show up in my IRC a few years ago and gave me a key for free. Back then the Game was in the early stages and had some questionable user interface defaults. It definitely improved since then from what I saw.

It is basically TerraFirmaCraft but without the stupid engine limitations of Minecraft.

system · September 1, 2022, 7:08pm

An Update to GregTech has been released!

Cue the fully automatic Changelog:
Screenshot
The new Aneutronic Fusion Power Cell. An easy way to make use of Fusion Materials like Helium-3. But it requires Vibranium to be crafted so you have to have a large Fusion Reactor first, you cant just rush some Endstone in your Centrifuge. There is also Hydrogen Power Cells now, which burn Hydrogen for Electricity directly in a similar way.

6.15.03:
[NOTE] Be sure to update your Geiger Counter Sensors if using the percentage-mode for controlling your Thorium Salt or Lithium Chloride reactors.
[FIXED] Basic Machines and their Multiblock Counterparts will no longer accept Fluid Input from the Side that they are Auto-Outputting to.
[CHANGED] The old Supporter Lists and Update Checker Functionality are now removed, so GT6 is now using the internal Supporter Lists inside the Jar always. The Lists themselves are still on the Server for older Versions and alternative Ports to download them. This also means that the GT6 Update Notification you might have gotten is the last one you will ever receive.
[CHANGED] Crucibles now have a Thermal Mass Tooltip, that way inconsistencies with how to interpret the F3+H Tooltip are avoided.
[CHANGED] The way that Looting Enchantments stack with Butchery Knives and the likes is now always beneficial (whatever the higher level of the two options is, plus 1). This applies to all Tools that have a built in Enchantment Level.
[CHANGED] Branch Cutters and Scissors should now harvest Vines as is.
[CHANGED] Scythes with the Auto Collect Modifier (Magnetic Material) should now properly rightclick harvest IC2 and Pams Crops. Unless Hunger Overhaul is installed and overrides the Scythe to make less Sense.
[ADDED] Power Cell, which can be filled with Hydrogen to directly produce electric Power in a Battery Box of up to HV Tier (1 EU/t to 512 EU/t). This is the most efficient way to turn 200_000L of Hydrogen into 3_200_000EU Electricity, even if a little bit cumbersome.
[ADDED] Portable Aneutronic Fusion Reactor, which acts like a Power Cell of sorts, and can output anything from 1 EU/t to 8192 EU/t in a regular Battery Box. You have to fill it with 200_000L of Helium-3 to get 1_024_000_000EU total from it. It can only be made after you get Vibranium from a regular Fusion Reactor though.
[ADDED] Higher Tier Germanium Solar Panel that produces 16 EU/t instead of 8 EU/t.
[ADDED] Dilithium can now be used to make Molten Ender. Also added a way to process Dolamide Dust, should you have made the mistake of turning your crushed Ore into that.
[FIXED] Some small errors in the reactor guide book.
[FIXED] Geiger Counter Sensor now takes coolant into account for percentage-modes and not just use the base maximum of the fuel rods.
[FIXED] Log Spam when having certain GT6 Crafting Recipes in Forestry Worktables.
[FIXED] C-Foamed Pipes and Wires are no longer Flammable by outside sources of Fire. You do not need to wait for the Foam to dry to get this Effect.
[FIXED] The Daylight Detector Recipe did not accept any type of Quartz, and one of the Cookie Dough Recipes was not Slicer compatible.

6.15.02:
[NOTE] Human Error caused this to somehow be skipped. Damn Autosaving Script File before running it…

6.15.04:
[FIXED] A Crash with ForgeMultiPart that somehow happens for some Modpacks and some Launchers for no good damn reason.
[FIXED] Scythe on Hunger Overhaul modified Crops. Requires Default Config Pack or setting “enableRightClickHarvesting=false” in the Hunger Overhaul Config.
[FIXED] Creepers crashing Servers.
[FIXED] The Storage Drawers Mod was not working in Adventure Mode, unless you had an Axe or so in Hand while leftclicking the Drawers.
[CHANGED] Bathing Pot and Mixing Bowl should now output Items more nicely.
[CHANGED] Seed Oils and the likes have a Burn Value similar to Biomass now, making them actually worth processing in the first place.
[CHANGED] Radioactive Ore Byproducts got mostly removed or replaced. You will need to use the Reactor to get most of that Stuff now.

Gregorius · September 13, 2022, 11:16am

Release for a lot of Bugfixes and some Recipe changes. Should help a bunch for some Modpacks that recently reported Issues…

I hate how half of Modded Minecraft has mandatory always online garbage (auto-downloading dependencies from websites that are down in some cases), combined with Launchers downloading Libraries independently of the version of the Game, resulting in crashing older Mods when Libraries are tampered with, which is ONE of the things that we had to fix…

That has broken so much Stuff this year… I feel like there is only three or four people trying to keep 1.7.10 alive, while everyone else just haphazardly fucks up 1.7.10 without caring…

Sparrowghoul · September 13, 2022, 1:16pm

Demosthenex · September 13, 2022, 7:46pm

I’ll update DD in the next few days.

yangbowen · September 18, 2022, 3:45am

I got curious upon whether this would enable some interesting new ways of power generation. Specifically I was thinking about Charcoal->Carbon->Silicon->Hydrogen->Fuel Cell.
But after some calculations I found out that, even with this complexity, such a setup would only have an efficiency comparable to Charcoal->Fluidized Bed->Boiler->Turbine->Large Dynamo.

Did not want for these small changes to end up being any delayed, since all I did feature wise was experimenting with a River System that would not work with Minecrafts Worldgen anyways.
Still need to find a way to straighten out the whole spiral thing the River Blocks do in my experiments. Though they do work very well to fill up Lakes and Caves from a pragmatical point of view.
