=== 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.
