The Nexus of Steam & Steel — A deep expansion for GregTech CEu Modern that reinvents how you generate power, process materials, and scale your factories. From primitive steam to cosmic technology.
| Dependency | Version |

| Minecraft | 1.20.1 (Forge) |
| GregTech CEu Modern | 7.5.x |
| Applied Energistics 2 | Required |

GregTech Nexus Addon (GTNA) is a feature-rich addon for GTCEu Modern that adds a full progression layer on top of the base mod. It introduces wireless steam and energy networks, 12+ multiblocks, custom hatches with unique mechanics, exclusive materials, and a developer API compatible with KubeJS and the GTCEu Java API.
Whether you're building a megafactory powered entirely by solar steam, automating parallel recipes across dozens of machines, or scripting entirely custom multiblocks through KubeJS — GTNA has the tools.
Say goodbye to spaghetti pipe networks. GTNA's Wireless Steam Network lets you transmit steam across your entire base without a single pipe connecting boilers to machines.
The Nexus Flux Matrix is a massive, scalable multiblock that acts as the central energy bank for your entire factory — no cables needed.

GTNA introduces a family of specialized hatches that extend GTCEu's multiblock system with brand-new mechanics:
Thread Hatch — Allows a multiblock to run completely different recipes simultaneously. Recipe A and Recipe B can process at the same time in the same machine.
Accelerate Hatch — Reduces recipe duration (ticks) directly, without increasing energy consumption per tick.
Overclock Hatch — Applies extreme overclock multipliers on top of GTCEu's standard electrical tier overclocking.
Advanced Parallel Hatch — Scales parallels far beyond what the standard hatch allows.
Wireless Steam Hatches — Connect any steam multiblock to the wireless steam network.
Huge Steam Buses — Massive item input/output for high-throughput steam setups.
GTNA adds unique alloys, elements, and fluids with real roles in the tech progression:
A pressurized fluid processing system built around the Steam Manufacturer. Enables steam-era assembly-style crafting for modpack progression without requiring electricity.
Starting with version 0.2.0, GTNA provides full KubeJS compatibility via soft-dependency. Modpack developers can create advanced multiblocks using all GTNA custom hatches directly from scripts — no Java required.
GTCEuStartupEvents.registry('gtceu:machine', event => {

)
.gtnaConfig(config => {
config.maxThreadMultiplier(2)
config.overclockBonus(0.1)
})
})
The gtna:multiple_recipes factory type automatically wires up WorkableElectricMultipleRecipesMachine under the hood — Thread, Accelerate, and Overclock Hatches work out of the box.
GTNA exposes a full Java API for addon developers:
