Fear not guys, you can go into the gregstech config files and disable the hard recipes for things. You just gotta poke around a bit.
Code:
####################
# usefullrecipes
####################
usefullrecipes {
Compress2Storageblock=true
ElectricSteelTools=true
ExpensiveBCQuarryRecipe=false
ExpensiveMaceratorRecipe=false
ExpensiveNukeRecipe=true
ExpensiveSolarRecipe=false
ExpensiveWatermillRecipe=false
ExpensiveWindRecipe=false
MMIngotOnlyRollingMachine=true
Storageblock2Macerator=true
TincellsPer4Tin=8
WatermillReverseCrafting=true
}
change the ones you want to false.
