GT Tools

This page explains the usage of the Gregtech tools and their interactions with various blocks and machines.

Hammer

• Left click
  • Breaks placed ores into crushed ores.
• Can repair a maintenance issue on multiblocks ("Platings are dented").

Wrench

• Left click
  • Safely breaks most GT machines, blocks, and pipes (check WAILA to make sure).
  • Safely breaks the AFSU and deletes all of its stored energy (don't do this; right-click instead to keep most of the energy).
• Right click
  • Changes the output face of GT machines.
  • Changes the input/output face of GT hatches/buses for the multiblocks.
  • Connects and disconnects GT fluid and item pipes.
  • Changes the speed for a World Accelerator.
• Shift right click
  • Changes the rotation of GT machines.
  • Toggles input blocking on a GT fluid pipe side. This is useful to make fluid only go in one direction, which increases pipe throughput and reduces lag.
• Can repair a maintenance issue on multiblocks ("Pipe is loose").

Screwdriver

• Right click
  • Increases the output stack size of item filters and buffer chests, when used on their output side.
  • Toggles the Input Filter of most GT machines and hatches/buses that have an input slot.
  • Allows input on the output side of GT machines, when used on their output side.
  • Sets output restrictions on output hatches. Restricted output hatches have higher priority over non-restricted hatches.
  • Increases the voltage of the 512V Creative Energy Buffer.
  • Increases the output amperage of Energy Buffers.
  • On multiblock controllers, toggles input bus separation. Useful for separating programmable circuits into separate input buses or setting up multiple input hatches on Processing Arrays for different colors of lenses or extruder molds.
  • Toggles settings on covers such as pumps, conveyers, and robot arms. Better to use the GUI if it is available for the cover (shift-right click with an empty hand).
  • Toggles voiding overflow mode on Super/Quantum Chests.
  • Changes the work area of single-block and multi-block miners and pumps. May not actually do anything for multi-blocks.
  • Toggles the working mode for World Accelerators.
  • Displays the Radiation Shutter Control GUI on Radio Hatches.
• Shift right click
  • Decreases the output size stack of item filters and buffer chests, when used on their output side
  • Toggles "Input allowed on output side" of most GT machines. Useful for placing ME Interfaces on machines so they can auto output back into the Interface when crafting is finished.
  • Increases the amperage of the 512V Creative Energy Buffer
  • Toggles settings on covers such as pumps, conveyers, and robot arms. Still better to use the GUI.
  • Toggles Sorting and Limiting modes on input buses.
  • Toggles the working radius for World Accelerators (does not work in TileEntity mode).
• Can repair a maintenance issue on multiblocks ("Screws are loose").

Crowbar

• Right click
  • Removes covers from machines/blocks/pipes.
• Can repair a maintenance issue on multiblocks ("That doesn't belong there").

Wire Cutters

• Left click
  • Safely breaks GT wires and cables
• Right click
  • Connects/disconnects cables and wires to each other and to machines.

Soft Mallet

• Right click
  • Enables/disables singleblock machines and multiblock controllers.
  • Inverts the power conversion mode on transformers.
• Can repair a maintenance issue on multiblocks ("Something is stuck")
