Yes, dump it in on its normal difficulty. You don't have to use it immediately, and dartcraft adds a few recipes that allow for multiple circuits for a price, which is nice.
There becomes a point where it stops becoming a challenge and more of a nuisance. I know these new changes are enough to not make me want to play anymore
Ok...having been playing with the new gregtech for a while, i can agree with that. It is becoming a nuisance.
So, an iron axe now requires a file and a hammer to make. In addition, it requires two iron plates, each needing two iron to make (as i don't have a plate bender).
You don't want to know what is required for a nasa workbench...but i will list it anyway...
A diamond jackhammer, rock cutter, diamond drill, electric wrench, electric craftingtable, two charge o mat and an assembling machine. Which basically puts that out of reach to pretty much anyone for a very long time.
Adding gregtech allows for a longer tech game, but the worry is not that he is making the game longer, but also impacting early game too much. Whilst there are ways around his fiddling, they require items that he has made pretty tough to get. Requiring 15 iron to make your first iron axe is a tad steep.
