== Target audience ==

As stated above, this modpack is for people who enjoy hard challenges, and are willing and able to commit serious amounts of time to them. At the beginning, this may mean hours of searching for the right ores. Later on you'll spend time building and rebuilding your technology infrastructure to handle the latest resource demand. By the end, you'll practically have degrees in Gregtech chemical and electrical engineering - even a mage needs a technological base to supply resources!

As stated above, this modpack is for people who enjoy hard challenges, and are willing and able to commit serious amounts of time to them.

By its nature, this pack works best on servers, where players can work together to search for resources and share information. Playing SP is inherently more difficult since every orevein must be found solely by you. You are welcome to come to the [https://discord.gg/EXshrPV| Discord] and commiserate with all the other players who have spent hours searching for that one redstone/lapis/mica/nickel vein. Here's a handy list of [[Commonly used acronyms and nicknames]] so you won't be lost.

== Tiers ==

GT: New Horizons is broken into [[Tier]]s or ages. Each one represents a significant milestone in technology progress, from the Stone Age up through MAX. From LV and beyond, tiers correspond to a level of power that is four times that of the previous tier. Some mods are gated to specific tiers, due to needing resource(s) only available after a certain point of progress.

A key concept and sanity saver for this pack is batch crafting. As you may have noticed, most recipes have multiple steps and a lot of ingredients to juggle. Making an entire stack of screws or multiple mortars will make later crafting much less of a hassle.

* Craft multiples at once, as ~~resources~~ allow. Certain tools and parts are used often in many recipes.

* Once you have iron, upgrade to a Crafting Station. It will connect to an adjacent chest and allow you to pull items into the crafting grid with [[NEI]] as well.

* With a wrench, collect bookshelf blocks from villages/dungeons. These can be used to get an early Forestry Worktable. The worktable can remember up to nine recipes and has its own internal inventory. Right-click on a remembered recipe to lock it. Caution: breaking the worktable erases all recipes.

Looking at how to create an item or [[resource]] can be confusing due to a large number of options. When looking at how to make an alloy ingot, here are some tips:

*Focus on certain creation methods, in this order: Shapeless (dust), Mixer (dust), Alloy Smelter (ingot), Blast Furnace (ingot/hot ingot), Vacuum Freezer (ingot).
