File (GregTech Community Edition)

The File is a tool added by GregTech Community Edition. It is a critical tool needed to make many other tools, in addition to making metal components such as pipes and rods before dedicated machinery is available. It can be made from nearly any GregTech metal. The type of metal used will determine the file's durability.

Recipe
The File has two alternate recipes: Either a File Head and one stick, or two metal plates of the same material and one stick.

The tool material defines the File's damage, durability, speed, and mining level. For a list of tool materials, see Material Properties.

Usage
The File is purposed solely as a crafting element, and has the same effect on blocks in the world as punching.

The File can also be used as a weapon, at about 70% of the damage and speed as a GregTech sword of the same material.
