GregTech-6 Main Thread

[Shameless_Duck]

Glorious Gregorius, best wishes to you in the upcoming New Year and a fat Christmas stocking full of health potions so that you may live long and be the legend you are.

Hmm, as I understand it, you added snow on sticks and stones to make it look more beautiful and harmonious. But the visual snow still stands out from the rest. Could you raise the height of the visual snow so that it does not differ from the usual one? Or do you not want to do this because the stones and sticks may remain hidden by the snow? If that’s the case, then it already happens sometimes. But I don’t think this is a problem, since the minimum height of stones and sticks can be increased.

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope that all your dreams will come true in the new year!

[Gregorius (Gregorius Techneticies)]

Merry Newmas and have a fun 2020 Part 5!

[Vadim007 (Vadim)]

Ok, Greg

Kid named GT5u disassembler:
(they had to remove the machine in the latest GTNH update because it always causes problems)
(also I’ve seen videos on bilibili on how the TF uncrafting table can absolutely nuke modpack progression)

[Gregorius (Gregorius Techneticies)]

Yep, I even removed the Recipe for that Uncrafting Table and also removed it from the Twilight Loot Lists it was inside of, so it SHOULD be unobtainable. The Screenshot here also clearly shows signs of using Creative Mode or NEI to cheat it in, so it is not a problem.

Edit: I am so gonna hide that thing from NEI now, lol.

[SNikolaBogdanic]

Ayo guys, what are your opinions on the Create mod? Would any of its style or some of their mechanics fit into the mod?

[hazel]

what mechanics are you thinking of? lots of the features seem better fit for a separate mod imo, or just would require tremendous effort to implement (especially in 1.7.10)

[SNikolaBogdanic]

Actually, I just was thinking in how Create managed mechanical power conversion, adding 3 different types of gear you could just place in the world.

And how cool the shafts spinned.

[Demosthenex]

Gregtech has axles to transmit RU power and gearboxes to relay and split it. They are pretty cool.

[Gregorius (Gregorius Techneticies)]

The current GT6 Secret Version is what is SUPPOSED to be released by now, buuuuuut technical issues on the Build Script end kiiiinda screwed it up. luckily the Snapshots generate regardless.

6.17.02:
[COMPAT] Et Futurum Wood Data for Cherry and Bamboo.
[COMPAT] Unboxinator can now unbox Thaumcraft Loot Bags. I am glad Azanor arbitrarily decided to have a maximum of 12 Items outputted by those, otherwise I would’ve had trouble fitting it into the Unboxinators output slots.
[FIXED] Thaumcraft Loot Bags are now actually randomizing the Enchantments on the Books they drop instead of repeating the exact same Enchantment over and over until you relaunch the Game.
[FIXED] A bunch of Bugs related to saving and loading Worlds, in regards to GT6 Specific Data.
[FIXED] Some Bug with Bukkit/Cauldron/etc. where things like Mini Portals and Ender Garbage Bins did not work correctly because of certain Events being thrown with weird Paths, triggering “loaded a different Save File” detection, which for Servers should flat out not be possible in the first place.
[FIXED] Rivers, Lakes, Oceans and Beaches do no longer dry placed Grass Bales.
[FIXED] Air vents were collecting Air even when submerged in Liquids or other Gasses.
[FIXED] Something that made Mass Storages jam somehow, I think. I dont know how to replicate it, so I dont know if it’s fixed.
[FIXED] Potion Fluids now use the Potion’s getLiquidColor() instead of a hardcoded Texture.
[CHANGED] Cows, Sheep, Pigs and Horses break Tall Grass that they walk through.
[CHANGED] Platinum Group Metals, their Sludge and Rare Earth now have better Thaumcraft Aspects.
[CHANGED] Roasters of higher Tiers no longer have overclocking penalty.
[CHANGED] Zirconium now has durability and speed identical to Diamonds.
[CHANGED] Rock Salt is mostly named Sylvite now, except in its Dust form.
[ADDED] Extruder Recipe for Redstone Dust to Obsidian Block using the Cobble Generator Item. Yes this is a vanilla exploit I turned into a Recipe.
[ADDED]
Loot Crates, which can be made from about 3 Units of tediously crafted Gold, and look exactly like all the other Wooden Crates.
Each Loot Crate will net you 1 random Stack of Vanilla Loot Table Loot when Unboxinated or rightclicked with a Crowbar.
The primary purpose is to ensure you dont need to constantly explore to get certain things, while not making it too easy.
Also this does serve as a more complicated version of IC2s Scrapbox Mechanic, where here you need Gold instead of Garbage to do this.
I chose Gold because it is the most common useless Metal in Modded Minecraft, especially since you can melt down Notch Apples and such.
I made sure all its ingredients are automatable without the Crucible, but it still requires a big Setup if you really want to automate this.
Yes, it is possible for Loot Crates to drop a stack of GregTech Crates. See it like buying a bunch of cheaper Metal for Gold or so.

@Gregorius

I chose Gold because it is the most common useless Metal in Modded Minecraft,

Early-game fun when Iron is rarer, and more sought after than Gold.

An Update to GregTech has been released!

GregTech for 1.7.10

Cue the fully automatic Changelog:

Aether Legacy Compat, along with some Aether 2 Compat improvements, and this new GT6 Dungeon Room, as well as the Mob Farm Room having up to nine times more spawning Platforms. Also GT6 Builder Wand can now help building GT6 Machines.

6.17.03:
[COMPAT] Aether Legacy should now have a similar level of Compat as Aether 2. (dear whoever is responsible for this: Items and Blocks have to be registered during the preInit Phase in 1.7.10. Someone on the Aether Legacy Team must have decided to move the loading of Items from preInit to Init, which breaks quite a lot of shit in 1.7.10)
Zanite now electrolyzes into the same Stuff that Tanzanite does.
Gravitite is now considered a Type of Diamond in most of my Recipes.
Golden Amber can now be used like regular Amber, and is also available through debarking Golden Oak.
Holystone or Ambrosium can now be used to make Holy Water.
Skyroot Poison Buckets now contain 1000L of Poison 2 Potion, to give it another way of obtaining.
Mossy Holystone got Moss Crafting Support now, and various Holystone shapes can now be crafted.
There now is an Aether Portal Room in some GT6 Dungeons.
[COMPAT] Removed the annoying Vanilla NEI Usage Handlers for Furnace Fuel and Furnace Smelting, as there is better NEI Handlers and Tooltips. (Does not target NEI-NH)
[COMPAT] Et Futurum Ore Data for many Deepslate Ores.
[COMPAT] Ars Magica Witchwood is now in the Wood Dictionary. Also Ars Magicka had a broken Fluid Block.
[FIXED] Unboxinating Bullets did not work if Rounds did not exist for that Material (there is an alternate Recipe with Bolts). Now it will return tiny piles of Dust instead, which makes the funny Recipe chain to turn Bolts into Rounds using the Press output Dust instead of Rounds.
[CHANGED] I messed with the way GT6 handles Sounds, lets hope this fixes one of those esoteric Vanilla Sound Crashes and does not cause any additional ones.
[CHANGED] Gem tipped Pickaxe Heads can be made with Iron now too, also you can use pre-sharpened Pickaxe Heads too. Also they break into empty Toolheads now, which means I need to halve their Durability again, so they dont outclass Full-Gem Pickaxes. Also there is Press and Unboxinator Recipes for their Tool Heads now.
[ADDED] The Melter, which is just an earlier Version of the Smelter. Works on most Furnace-able Materials and Calcite.
[ADDED] Wax Cracking, what is Wax Cracking? It is the “final” Ore Processing Step that involves Steam and Molten Wax, and exists purely because of needing some productive way to get rid of Wax.
[ADDED] Glowstone, Redstone, Cinnabar, Nikolite, Carminite and Ambers can now be crystallized using Cryotheum in a Bath, either by using crushed Ores or by sacrificing about half of a Block of Dust.
[ADDED] The Slicer can now recycle Leather Armor and turn Fur into Leather, like the Knife based Crafting Recipe can.
[ADDED] Spiders now have a 25 percent chance of dropping Spider Eye, when killed by a Non-Player.
[ADDED] Various Grabbag Items for Books, Saplings, Seeds and Gems. Maybe more. They will clutter the Inventory less than the current Loots. Certain Mobs will drop these too. Most notably the Books of the Villager Zombie, to reduce clutter.
[ADDED] Signs to the Center Street Worldgen to indicate where which Biomes are. Bottom-most Biomes are closest (read it like Highway Street Signs), it looks at the Biomes roughly 100 blocks to the left and right sides of the Road.
[ADDED] The GT6 Builder Wand can now place GT6 Multiblock Parts from your Inventory in a 3x3x3 around the clicked Multiblock Part (range limit so you dont build behind walls).
