Translations:Getting Started (GregTech 6)/9/en

One of the most valuable resources in the early game is loot. Metal armor found in dungeons/villages/mineshaft chests can be melted down and used for tools once a has been crafted. It can easily be worthwhile to only use Leather armor just to get the extra metal to get off the ground. Beware that only pristine items can be smelted in a crucible: used tools, or weapons cannot (but armor now can be smelted, even when damaged). GregTech also introduce its own worldgen structure type, s, which is a big place with several rooms with a lot of loot in them, including chances of lots of metals like (stainless) steel, early "machines" such as crucibles, oil, portals, etc. Exploring in GregTech can be a rewarding activity, too!
