--------------------------------------------
More generally, we are trying to understand whether the issue here is that
- you're a new player and you don't know where to find the slots for Galacticraft items
- you have a conflict with another mod
- you have a bad Galacticraft download
- there's some bug which we need to fix.
Help us to help you?
If you have other mods like TechGuns installed it could be a tabs conflict issue.
