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.
 
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.
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).

Glowing Coral
|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?)

==== 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]].
