This category covers all pages that describe the various tools in GregTech.

Note that this is currently WIP

Choosing the right material

Choosing what the best material to make a tool out of can be daunting given the sheer variety of options that GregTech presents. Durability and scarcity are the most important factors to consider when making a tool, and some suggestions are listed below:

Pre-steam

• Iron

Steam + early LV

• Iron
• Wrought Iron
• Stay away from bronze and steel (bronze has worse durability than iron and you need the copper and tin; steel takes too long to make for it to go towards tools)

LV (post EBF)

• Steel
• Damascus steel
• Vanadiumsteel (likely the almost best option you have, also great for Tinker's Construct weapons/tools)
• Manasteel - unlike steel, has 10 times greater durability and definitely worth the effort to make tools from it (this however requires circuit assembler for twilight portal gem and a little bit exploration to find botania shrooms to actually get manasteel)

MV

HV

• Vibrant Alloy
• Manasteel - if you haven't done this yet it actually around 25% more durability then vibrant alloy and same mining level - usable for ore prospectors, electric tools and all that staff: literally mvp of all materials (in manufacturing difficulty and useful properties comparison)

Soft tools

These tools can be crafted with wood, rubber, or plastic materials. Ironwood, made from Living Root in the Twilight Forest, is a great material to build these tools.
