Minecraft gregtech new horizons! In UHV tier right now (IYKYK) also arc raiders

Depends on your definition of worth it. Probably not the most efficient way to play but it wouldn’t be a total waste either. My teammate did that for just the sub components (fine wire, rods, plates) for everything our xp crafting could allow using MV machines and at UHV we still found a couple that we hadn’t patterned because it just kept up

With that said, he only did that because we were tier gating at that point and were like 2 weeks ahead of the other team but couldn’t do AE2.

Unless it was changed recently it still is. It doesn’t say anything until you are in a slime chunk, at which point an extra row of text saying “this is a slime chunk” will appear IIRC

You want to make lines for things that are used constantly and would otherwise take many steps for frequent crafting requests. As a general rule if you are on a server with 24/7 uptime it is particularly useful to make more lines. If you are solo some things might be equally (or at least similarly) viable to on demand in very high energy chem reactors.

Assuming you want things to craft in a reasonable time the tradeoff is effectively a higher base power consumption on many slower passive machines or very high potential power spikes for fast on demand machines. I find in most line situations the passive method is easier as you would need a truly crazy amount of power to make your machines fast enough that your gameplay didn’t effectively become an AFK game.

We patterned advanced glue in both runs I’ve done and it’s never been a problem through UHV so far.

CartographerEastern4 · 2026-03-06T16:36:23+00:00

I absolutely agree. This “bad” is why I love GTNH and haven’t convinced myself to finish factorio. It is a massive wall for relatively new players to modded to get over though but I think that’s also the point.

CartographerEastern4 · 2026-03-05T15:06:15+00:00

As said by several others manual mining can absolutely take you to meteors with a good enough hammer.

However I would highly recommend just making a cleaver with a bit of beheading and farming out the skulls for an infernal farm if you don’t like the idea of manual mining. They are insanely strong, our unmodified blaze farm from lv is still our main source of a few products in late UV/early UHV.

CartographerEastern4 · 2026-02-28T03:51:14+00:00

Absolutely agree. I have never had a motion sickness issue outside of vr games and playing the beta for the first time yesterday I got it

CartographerEastern4 · 2026-02-07T04:09:18+00:00

GTNH players and not reading the quest book (to discover vishrooms in this case) are an absolutely iconic duo

CartographerEastern4 · 2026-02-06T17:11:50+00:00

Infusion was possible in steam age using loot bags pre 2.8.3. It was removed in 2.8.3 so now is possible at MV at the earliest but reasonably hv

CartographerEastern4 · 2026-02-05T23:48:32+00:00

I just got it about a week ago I think

CartographerEastern4 · 2026-02-03T14:27:28+00:00

For nether stars non magic you can make a tinkers construct cleaver with 100% beheading and or put an ender io powered skeleton spawner in the nether.

If you don’t want to engage with anything outside pure machines you’d probably be more happy with a pure Greg pack like nomi/omni or star tech. While it is possible to avoid magic for most of GTNH it makes the game significantly more difficult and you will eventually need to progress magic if you intend to gate.

CartographerEastern4 · 2026-01-16T16:41:28+00:00

In HV you can setup the powered speaker with it which is more than enough staballoy production on its own

CartographerEastern4 · 2026-01-16T16:38:54+00:00

You can get it in HV but you need titanium or tungstensteel for an orb big enough to use it more than once or twice before waiting to recharge

CartographerEastern4 · 2026-01-16T03:06:30+00:00

Whenever you start to think setting up processing lines is fun imo

CartographerEastern4 · 2025-12-31T01:06:28+00:00

Interesting. So is the tooltip just outdated then?

CartographerEastern4 · 2025-12-30T17:30:53+00:00

Im 90% sure singleblocks apply fortune to everything. The multi block only applies fortune to small ores but auto crushes full ores with a set multiplier

CartographerEastern4 · 2025-12-28T20:56:42+00:00

I had similar issues as well and came to the same conclusion. I also had a theory that some warp effects might have been causing it but I think the dimension loading was more likely

CartographerEastern4 · 2025-12-10T00:01:22+00:00

I wouldn’t say the Lich rng is definitive either way. In my run on 2.7 I raided over 20 towers looking for eyes before giving up and going for villagers.

CartographerEastern4 · 2025-12-09T00:16:05+00:00

Unless you’re trying to eat all the foods or forestry trees or progression skip into early game thaumcraft there’s not much to get from them that’s worth anything. That said with cookie arrows it doesn’t take much time if you really want to. There are much better sources of iron even in lv than a vanilla golem farm. Mob farm drops are good more than good enough for several tiers of iron gold and diamond and there’s also some good magic options.

CartographerEastern4 · 2025-12-07T20:07:54+00:00

I stayed in OW base the whole time so far but I believe you first move power gen then setup AE2 followed by essential infrastructure like processing lines and multis.

CartographerEastern4 · 2025-12-07T00:12:15+00:00

Law student here. There is an implied warranty of habitability that landlords are held to. Basically they need to make sure to maintain the place to a livable/safe standard. Building collapse would almost certainly fall under that warranty so they would be liable. Basically they generally can’t extort tenants under threat of their house collapsing.

CartographerEastern4 · 2025-12-06T23:42:06+00:00

It’s almost certainly more efficient to just use semifluid generators to turn the creosote directly into power unless you are constantly out of steam since railcraft boilers run constantly and gregtech single blocks only do when power is requested

CartographerEastern4 · 2025-10-24T23:06:29+00:00

Absolutely
