I've been playing Voltz for about a week now; pretty awesome modpack that's getting big fast. The additional tools from Mekanism are certainly helpful to speed up mining. However, Bronze tools and armor are better than steel in every single way: more uses, higher efficiency/damage, etc. But steel is more expensive/tedious to make than bronze, and in reality, bronze is fairly weaker than steel. Shouldn't steel be better?
