A '''Challenge Run''' is a playthrough of GregTech: New Horizons with extra player-imposed rules. These may be something as simple as "No [[Healing Axe]]" or as complex as [https://github.com/cubic-chariot/gtnh/blob/master/garden-of-grind.md skyblock]. Challenge runs use artificially imposed limits to make the game harder or avoid mechanics the player doesn't want to interact with. Some typical challenges are listed below, the most well known examples being No Rocket Run (NRR) and Garden of Grind (GoG). Other common challenges include peaceful, no magic, [[tier]]-locked, no bees, harder [[pollution]] and speedruns. Many challenge types may make the full pack progression impossible to complete.

This page is a collection of guides to run "challenge" versions of GTNH - artificially imposed limits that make the game harder, or allow you to bypass mechanics you don't like (eg. IC2 crop breeding).
Challenge runs can benefit even players using standard progression, as they often map out alternate [[resource]] acquisition methods and use a greater variety of novel machine setups.
 
== '''No IC2 Crop Breeding''' ==
IC2 crop breeding can be boring, slow, and highly RNG based. So why not completely avoid it? Here is a list of breed-less methods of obtaining resources[[resource]]s crops are usually used for:

Line 13 ⟶ 14:
|1) '''GT++ Fish Catchers''' (Slimeballs work for everything that sticky resin works for, minus RC water tanks. Later after steel you can use congealed green slime anyway. You can use the byproducts for fish oil for methane/biodiesel, and works as a passive source of diamonds and other useful stuff.)
2) '''Slime Sapling''' from slime islands (Gives congealed green slime and blue slimeballs, you need an extractor for the congealed green slime. On modern versions of GTNH, axes instamine the congealed green slime.)
 
3) '''Industrious Bee Line''' (The bees produce stringy [[comb]]s which can be centrifuged into propolis and honey. Propolis can be further centrifuged into sticky resin. The honey is useful for making biomass and can be centrifuged into sugar (a lot of sugar will be necessary to make industrial tnt for the implosion compressor, so it's also good to automate.) Bee breeding is it's own task, but only three bees (common -> cultivated -> diligent) are required. Automating the apiary itself is simple.)

|Bonsais<div>[[Tree]]s
|Simply use the saplings to make '''1/1/1 versions''', and just make a bigger field. You're unlikely to take down the server with the TPS cost before the Tree Growth Simulator in IV, especially if you use a crop manager. For a completely IC2-free options there's the [[Multifarm]], Steve's Carts, [[Farming Station]] and manual harvesting large trees like Jungle or Rainforest Oak with a [[Tinkers Tools]] Lumberaxe.

|1) '''Glieonia''' (Thaumcraft crop - directly drops glowstone dust and CAN BE WORLD ACCELERATED WITHOUT TILE ENTITY MODE! Fast and convenient, and research is early in Thaumic Bases tab. Farming it is a bit tricky - you will have to make EIO farmer (HV) or forestry multifarm (LV, but high effort))
2) '''Mob Farm''' (eg zombie pigmen) (use the [[Extreme Extermination Chamber|EEC]])
3) '''Botania Alchemy Catalyst''' (Can transmute redstone into glowstone, which you can then process for gold) (and redstone) (the conjuration catalyst can also dupe both redstone and glowstone)
4) '''Mercury chem bathing magnetite''' (If you really hate plants for some reason, you can turn magnetite ores directly into gold by chem bathing with mercury. Although you might need to automate redstone for the mercury upkeep, so maybe use Redlon Thaumcraft crop?)
Line 56 ⟶ 59:
==== Titanium ====
 
The first real deviation is titaniumTitanium. The best ways to get it are [[bees]] or bloodBlood magicMagic meteors. The aluminiumAluminium bee in particular does not need titaniumTitanium to breed, but by processing its bauxiteBauxite combsCombs infor theRutile "new" bauxite line you can getyields a decent amount of titaniumTitanium. Another alternative is bauxiaBauxia crops, though these need UU matterMatter to get titaniumTitanium without some ore to mix with and that's expensive. Aluminium oreOre gravelGravel (especially with bauxiaBauxia crops) and scrap[[Scrap boxesBox]]es are also technically possible, as are stone and pahoehoe lava centrifuging, (but the latter two need titaniumTitanium to unlock). The titaniumTitanium bee itself is an incredible source of Titanium, since it gives the pure ore and not bauxiteBauxite, rutileRutile, ilmeniteIlmenite, etc. However, itIt requires a block of Titanium to breed, plus Phthalic Acid and an EV [[Chemical Reactor]] or [[Large Chemical Reactor]] to process the combs, and an EV powered [[Electric Blast Furnace]].

==== The Mutatron ====
 
* In LuV, you unlock the mutatron, which is incredibly strong in a no space playthrough because it is the only way to get the space bees. However, it is very complicated and expensive, especially when considering the rabbit hole required for mutagen. One option is to simply wait until ZPM and make the mutagen producer. The other is a long bacterial vat chain.
 
The mutatron has a 30% chance to make pristine bees ignoble, and an 80% chance to kill ignoble bees (don't worry this is based on the input bee it cannot happen back to back in the same mutatron operation and randomly kill your pristine princess). Thus the Hibeescus is recommended to convert ignobles back into pristines. This requires making Gaia pylons and killing the Gaia guardian. Remember that you can world accelerate it to make it faster.
 
To obtain mutagen, you will need an LuV bacterial vat with at least Rhodium Plated Palladium Borosillicate glass, IV+ (LuV recommended) biolab, and high tier distillery, fermenter, brewer, and fluid solifier (recommend an LuV dangote, LuV LPF, and EV brewer). You will also need an LuV+ LCR, and you either need lots of space plant and uum and to make the LCR ZPM, or an LuV recycler (which will be sacrificed to the blood gods).
 
*# Obtain growth catalyst medium. This requires breeding a bacterial culture from Bacteria (fluid) in the bio lab. You can get Bacteria (fluid) from an even deeper bacterial vat/biolab chain, OR you can just craft it in the genetics Incubator (check uses for the incubator in NEI).
*# Craft Stemcells. We are interested in the byproduct, bacterial sludge.
