*Flint - Once you have a furnace up and running, make mortars from stone and flint to process gravel more efficiently into flint. Always keep a mortar around to avoid having to use the 3:1 gravel recipe.

*Tinkers - a shovel, mattock and pickaxe will all come in handy. Remember you have to level up your pickaxe's mining level again each time you switch heads. Tools must be fully repaired to swap out parts.
*Iron - the quest book will give you your first iron pickaxe head. Ensure you have access to an iron vein before attaching it, as you will need materials for repairs.
*GT Tools - Access to iron opens up the File, Screwdriver, Saw, Wrench, Wire Cutter and Hammer. NEI’s limitations means that finding the recipes for these tools in a specific material is quite difficult. Memorize or set a Worktable recipe, because you will be using them a lot. Iron, and later Wrought Iron will be the most plentiful thing to make them out of for the steam age. Steel and alumite are technically better, but the 2-3x extra durability isn't worth it.
