UU-Matter

UU Matter
Name	UU Matter
Stackable	Yes (64)
Mod Included	Industrial Craft 2

UU-Matter is created in a Mass Fabricator. The more power provided to the Mass Fabricator, the quicker it will produce UU-Matter. Inserting Scrap in the bottom slot of the Mass Fabricator will speed up the process of creating UU-Matter by up to 6 times, this is showed by ampultude.

Uses

UU-Matter can be used to craft many different vanilla blocks and items, plus many modded blocks and ores, including Iridium Ore which can be only obtained by crafting it from UU-Matter.

Aside from Iridium Ore, the uses of UU matter are undermined when used along side of the Equivalent Exchange mod since most blocks made by UU matter are more easily made in Equivalent Exchange. However, this should in no way discourage players from using UU matter.

When used with Equivalent Exchange, Glowstone blocks are the most EMC efficient item to craft, granting 2048 EMC per UU-matter. Even so, the player should feel free to make whatever their hearts desire. One should keep in mind, though, that for example, snow is cheaper to craft through blocks than snowballs, as well as the fact that in most cases, the water and lava blocks it makes are still sources, meaning they won't flow when placed. That makes it possible to create things like floating lava lamps and water decorations without them flowing where you dont want them.

Tips

• If you want diamonds, it is better to use 6 UU-Matter to create Glow Stone Blocks. Then use the blocks in an Energy Condenser to make diamonds. After putting in the 8 Glowstone blocks gained from UU-Matter, you have 12,288 EMC, which is equal to one and a half diamond.
• Instead of crafting iron ore blocks, craft tin and coal. After Macerating and smelting the tin, form buckets and then use an alloy furnace to convert the tin back to iron (Using the coal you formed earlier). This method will yield more iron than crafting iron ore, but is a bit more time consuming. For instance, if you had 150 UU-Matter to spend, you could get 120 iron ingots directly (4*150/5, assuming you macerated the ore). You could also get 480 iron ingots, even considering the UU-Matter cost of the coal, also assuming that you macerate the tin ore.
• An alternative to the above is to smelt the ores (or macerate, then smelt) then use a Transmutation Tablet to turn the tin into iron since they are both worth 256 EMC. This is much faster.
• If you only have a small supply of UU-Matter, use it to create items that are almost impossible to obtain in other ways, such as grass blocks.
