GregTech is an add-on to IC2  which increases the IC2 techtree with 2 tiers. Many recipes of the lower tiers are re-balanced, like the Gregtech recipes for the Macerator, Mining Drill, Mass Fabricator as well as some method of powering all of these. This greatly increases the difficulty of gathering/creating more rare materials such as UU-Matter and Iridium. In order to reach the upper tiers you will need to stripmine dozens to hundreds of chunks and you will need to find The End to exploit its unique resources.

GregTech also improves compatibility between IC2 and other mods, such as Galacticraft and Buildcraft 3. GregTech adds several dozen more machines and multi-block structures.

Important Note: If you are teleporting into an unloaded chunk with GregTech machines (or just moving to an unloaded chunk quickly), wait until they show the right texture before you use them. When you first see the machines, they will have a generic machine block texture. If you try to open their interface during this time, it will crash your game with an "Exception in world tick" error (holding left-click on the machine for a short duration normally makes it return to normal texture).

Recipe Overrides
GregTech overrides numerous recipes from IndustrialCraft2 and other mods. Notable overrides are listed below.
 * Macerators now require three Diamonds to craft.
 * Solar Panels are much more difficult to make. Instead of requiring Glass, a Generator and some Coal Dust, they now require Silicon Plates, which must be made in an Industrial Blast Furnace.
 * Iridium Plates must be made by compressing an Iridium Alloy Ingot in an Implosion Compressor.
 * Mining Lasers require Titanium Ingots, a Ruby and a 60k Helium Coolant Cell.
 * Nukes are much more difficult to make, requiring much more than a few Uranium and Gunpowder.
 * Iridium Ore must be compressed into an Iridium Ingot before usage in making an Iridium Alloy Ingot.
 * Nano Sabers now require Iridium Plates, Platinum Ingots, Energy Flow Circuits and a Lapotron Crystal.
 * Mass Fabricators are disabled completely. UU-Matter must instead be made with the use of a Matter Fabricator, which requires two Highly Advanced Machineblocks, an Iridium Plate and other fairly valuable ingredients.
 * Quarries require a Diamond Drill instead of a Diamond Pickaxe to make.
 * Diamond Drills not only require three Diamonds but also two Titanium Ingots and an Advanced Circuit.
 * Mixed Metal Ingots can only be made in a Rolling Machine.
 * Crafting Bronze Ingots always results in an output amount which equals the amount of total input ingots divided by two. Brass Ingots can be used instead to preserve the 1:1 ratio. If RedPower 2 is not installed, this requires Zinc Ingots and an Alloy Smelter.
